3rd place: The Quintessential Quintuplets: Spring Summer Autumn Winter Vol.3

"This is the story of one year, depicting the everyday lives of us, the Nakano quintuplets, from January to December."

Once a month, the five of them spend a day together —
a tradition they call "Quintuplet Day."
Through these days, the sisters gradually move toward independence.

Then, in September, Futaro returns home for the fireworks festival!
“You guys haven’t changed a bit, have you?”

Over the course of the year,
the quintuplets have shared countless memories — equally, of course.

And in December, what is it that they will share with Futaro?

“There’s something we want to tell you.”

Supervised entirely by original author Negi Haruba,
this is a full seasonal collection of 500% quintuplet cuteness!

2nd place: A Journey Through Another World Vol.18

Takumi lost his life due to a mistake by Sylphireel, the Wind God, and was reincarnated into another world. After rescuing the twin siblings Allen and Elena in a forest, he began living as an adventurer.

After enjoying a leisurely journey by ship and carriage, Takumi and his companions return from the Regils Empire to the Kingdom of Gadia. Reuniting with the members of the Lisnar family for the first time in a while, they spend their days relaxing — sharing travel stories and serving up delicious meals.

Then one day, they decide to revisit an underwater dungeon they had previously discovered — the Whispering Waves Labyrinth.
Takumi agrees to the request of his contracted beasts, who simply want to run around freely... but what awaits them there—?

1st place: Urban Myth Dismantling Center: Fragment Anthology

A Major Sensation in the Occult / Horror / Indie Game Scene!
The popular mystery adventure game now gets a spin-off novelization!

The Urban Legend Disassembly Center is an organization that investigates and dismantles supernatural phenomena, such as apparitions, cursed objects, and otherworldly realms. Its director, Wataru Meguriya—himself a psychic—teams up with part-time investigator Azami Fukurai and senior part-timer Jasmine as bizarre cases come flooding in: a strange piece of fried chicken, a headless biker, and more.

Meanwhile, university student Yamada Gas Mask becomes entangled in a curse during a mountain camping trip, and a man who worked as a guide for the Ueno Occult & Dark Mystery Tour once encountered a ghostly presence while staying overnight in a stigmatized property. Then, Jasmine receives a new case that sets the story in motion...

This collection features five urban legend-themed stories that fill in the "gaps" between the events of the main game. Supervised entirely by the game’s original creators at Hakaba Bunko, the novel includes a newly drawn exclusive cover and a special sticker insert at the end of the book. A must-read and must-own item for fans of the series!
