In the near future technology is developed that allows ones state of mind and personality traits to be quickly quantified and profiled.
All emotion, desire, and social disease are documented and managed by the government for the public good. The quality of each person's life is measured by a single number. That number, which represents how close the mind and soul are to perfection, is known as the Psycho-Pass. The system also calculates a number that represents criminal capacity, known as the Crime Coefficients. This number is the basis of the justice dispensed by the police force. Officers are divided into two groups: Enforcers, who are tasked with the investigation of crimes and the capture of criminals, and Inspectors, who are charged with managing the Enforcers. Enforcers with high Crime Coefficients have proven more effective at understanding the criminal mind. This ability is used by the police department to solve complex and difficult cases. Because they have such high Crime Coefficients, however, they must be monitored all time by the Inspectors, to ensure that none of them actually become criminals. Though each member of the Public Safety Bureau carries their own burdens, they must see that justice is served - in a society where everything is quantified, they have to make sure it all adds up.
What's waiting for them out there..?

“Be pure, honest, strong-willed and wise!”
Those are the ideals that Aika forced upon the students at the special correctional institute Shindou Gakuen, forbidding love and depriving their freedom in the name of justice. While the ideal sounds great, in reality, the students are completely enslaved by the superhuman-like elite group, “Love Pentagon”.
Ren is flawlessly handsome, extremely sharp and remarkably strong. However, he has one vital flaw: he is weak to girls. He would fall to their charms, be swayed by their tears, and tricked by their lies. The Kedouin family head ordered him to attend Shindou Gakuen to overcome this problem. Will he be able to pass the correctional curriculum and be rewarded with his destined partner, Aika?

Nagami Gakuen is a former girls-only boarding school in the outskirts of Nagasaki. Hart is the only boy in the gardening club, joining the flower-loving Kureha, reliable leader Rie and tomboyish Christina. They water the flowers, take care of the greenhouse, transplant the flowers every now and then, and bring flowers and fruits as presents to the adjacent hospital.
The chapel that they call the club room, the gardens and greenhouse, and pretty uniforms were not all that they had inherited from the horticultural classes which were abolished with the introduction of co-education. They also carried on their volunteer activities at the school. Recently, there are rumours of a suspicious person in the school grounds, so they have been tasked with finding and expelling them.
However, Kureha, who had known Hart since she was a small child, asked him if that suspicious person is actually him. That’s because he is secretly a ‘vampire’.

Seiji sees precognitive dreams from time to time. However, since it’s usually only fragments, he doesn’t pay much attention to them and just lives a normal life. One day, he saw a strange dream in which he was very intimate with a girl who he had never seen before. They were both naked and doing what lovers do. When he awoke the next morning, he was puzzled and wondered if it was a sign from the future. He had never dreamt about someone he had not seen before, so he dismissed it as only a delusion to avoid any weird expectations.
He got dressed, walked to school with his imouto Mari, entered his classroom and greeted his classmates. It was the start to another normal day at school… or so he thought. There was a new transfer student in his class, Erika, and she was the girl in his dreams. While he was still stunned, her gaze fell upon him.
“Ahhhh!!! N-No way… You must be joking…!?”
It seems that a strange love story has suddenly begun, with Seiji squarely in the middle of it.

"Don't worry, I'll get in somewhere."
That was what I, Sakurazaka Shinnosuke, answered to worriedly asking Ryou.
Results for various entrance examinations were being published. My first choice had ended in an unfortunate result, but I didn't mind that much. Parting with my best friend does feel a bit lonely, but it's not like we'd be parting for good. Instead, let's get our hopes up on making some new acquaintances.
Spring, in other words, the season of love! I'm sure there's a super-cute girl just waiting for my arrival somewhere - probably.
As usual, my positivity knew no bounds.
Despite my positive expectations, the impossible happened. Even after all of the results were published, no letter of admission had found it's way to my hands. Lets see... Could it actually be that...?
"What are you going to do now, onii-chan?" asks my cousin, Yuuko, worriedly. Jjjj, just wa-wait a second. T-th-there's no need to pa-panic. Thinking after relaxing a bit and I'm sure there's some way to somewhere...
As I was about to run for the hills leaving reality behind, there was a call from my homeroom teacher.
"Go take an interview at Amami Gakuin and you might just get lucky."
Amami Gakuin. A popular new school in my hometown Shiroha-chou and one known for being very hard to get in due to countless applicants. Of course with my mental prowess getting in would be hard, to put it mildly. Nonetheless, a special opening for one local of the area seems yet to be filled due to an unexpected vacancy.
Feeling as if the heavens had bestowed a miracle upon him, what will be waiting to come?
Countless imaginations have been set free and know no bounds!

There is a mock school on the Internet for those who love galge and eroge, nicknamed “Galge Gakuen”. The protagonist used to be really into it, but now he only logs in as “Ken-chan” to be with his two friends, the self-proclaimed girls’ school student “Pink” and the indecent talk-loving “Tae”. They used to be no more than friends who loved galge, but now their hobbies and conversations extend beyond just that.
One day, a new student entered the school. Since her actions and speech was like a moe character, they gave her the nickname “Moe”. With the cheerful Moe in the mix, their circle of friends had grown to four. However, they were still only online friends. It was frowned upon to ask about their real lives and it was an unspoken rule to not touch this subject.
Then, Ken-chan happened to meet Moe by chance in real life. He pretended that nothing happened in order to protect the relationship that their group had online. But he met her again once more soon thereafter: this time as her home tutor, and she as his new imouto from his father’s remarriage.
This is NekoNekoSoft’s 15th anniversary work, using characters from all their past games as avatars in this game blending reality and imagination. “Ken-chan” is the protagonist from Mizuiro.

4. Taimanin Yukikaze 2 対魔忍ユキカゼ2 [150529] Black Lilith 1 2
20XX A.D. Japan is plagued by evil spirits that dwell in the shadows.
The only thing preventing chaos between spirits and humans
is an implicit agreement to "live and let live", but corrupt organisations
make deals with the demons. Crime syndicates go supernatural.
The nation is in decline, and those who walk the path of goodness
don't last long in a society of rampant heresy and sin.
Thus, the government empowers certain individuals to fight fire with fire.
Agents may do evil... against evil... in the name of good. Exorcists with a license to kill.
They are called the Taimanin.
