3rd place: Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- Vol.40

“Al-sama is a monster. We’re walking alongside a monster.”

Betraying Subaru and the others as they head for the Pleiades Watchtower, Al—no, Aldebaran—declares war on the world. Facing off in a deadly clash with the Sword Saint Reinhard, Aldebaran launches countless "opportunities" and "tactics" against the strongest fortress in existence.

The battle at the ends of the world begins to reenact a tale from 400 years ago, drawing in not only the Sword Saint but other legends as well.
All of it is to fulfill the wish of a cursed man, the “Star Chaser,” who only wants to save the world.

“Yes. I’m the Sword Saint who can’t even hold hands with all three of them at once.”

The 40th act of the hit web novel—the strongest and most terrifying volume yet.
“I’ll turn to ash, just like you. And bring everything to an end.”

2nd place: Heaven Official's Blessing Vol.4

“The red thread of fate—never to be severed.”
The Black Water Demon’s affair ends in tragic upheaval that shakes the heavens. Black Water Submersible and Feng Xin vanish.
Xie Lian, traveling with Hua Cheng to the Temple of a Thousand Lanterns, is suddenly overtaken by a haze of confusion. Pushed down and kissed by Hua Cheng, their embrace intensifies—
And in that intimacy, Xie Lian realizes that he harbors a deep, uncontrollable emotion.

Soon, the gates of Mount Tonglu are opened.
Once every century, the mountain becomes a battleground where ghosts fight to the death, and the last one standing earns the title of "Ghost King of the Abyss."
Following a tense negotiation between Jun Wu and Hua Cheng, Xie Lian and Hua Cheng infiltrate the army of ghosts together in an attempt to stop the rise of a new Ghost King—but what awaits them?

1st place: Slayers Spirit: Classroom of the Elite: 3rd Year Arc Vol.1

Let the true meritocracy begin.
After completing the final special exam of their second year, the former 1st-year Class D led by Horikita finally enters the third year as Class A. However, the class's key figure, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji, has transferred to another class.
Confusion and chaos sweep through Horikita’s class—but behind it all lies one cruel truth:
If they cannot defeat Kiyotaka Ayanokoji, they will not graduate as Class A.
As Rokusuke Ryuen shows growth, and new connections arise between Ayanokoji's Class C and Ichinose’s Class D, the first special exam of their final year, the “Group vs. Minority Comprehensive Academic Test,” is announced!
Only one class can graduate as Class A. Who will come out on top?
The long-awaited third-year arc begins!
