1,200 years after this epic battle, Enno’s descendant, Chiaki, spends her days showing tourists around her hometown of Shikigami-cho and doing exorcisms to pay the bills. After Karuma was defeated, Enno sealed Zenki away in a pillar located inside his temple. Unfortunately, Enno didn’t have the strength to defeat her alone and was forced to call upon Zenki, a powerful protector demon. In ancient times, a great battle was waged between a master mage, Enno Ozuno, and an evil demon goddess, Karuma. In closing one world and opening another, only Lain will realize the significance of their presence. Konaka, whose other works include Texhnolyze, Serial Experiments Lain is a psychological avant-garde mystery series that follows Lain as she makes crucial choices that will affect both the real world and the Wired. With the boundaries between reality and cyberspace rapidly blurring, Lain is plunged into more surreal and bizarre events where identity, consciousness, and perception are concepts that take on new meanings. Strange men called the Men in Black begin to appear wherever she goes, asking her questions and somehow knowing more about her than even she herself knows. Lain’s life is turned upside down as she begins to encounter cryptic mysteries one after another. Lain has neither the desire nor the experience to handle even basic technology yet, when the technophobe opens the email, it leads her straight into the Wired, a virtual world of communication networks similar to what we know as the internet. Lain Iwakura, an awkward and introverted fourteen-year-old, is one of the many girls from her school to receive a disturbing email from her classmate Chisa Yomoda-the very same Chisa who recently committed suicide. Will the boy become a hero like his foster father, or die trying? Fate/stay night follows Shirou as he struggles to find the fine line between a hero and a killer, his ideals clashing with the harsh reality around him. The two must now participate in the Fifth Holy Grail War, a battle royale of seven Servants and the mages who summoned them, with the grand prize being none other than the omnipotent Holy Grail itself.

In desperation, Shirou summons a Servant of his own, a knight named Saber. Miraculously, he survives, but the same Servant returns to finish what he started. During his attempt to escape, the boy is caught by one of the Servants and receives a life-threatening injury. One night, years after Kiritsugu’s death, Shirou is cleaning at school, when he finds himself caught in the middle of a deadly encounter between two superhumans known as Servants. After a mysterious inferno kills his family, Shirou is saved and adopted by Kiritsugu Emiya, who teaches him the ways of magic and justice.
