AIR GEAR
Rent Microtechnology has created self-powered roller blades that allow a rider to rip along at blistering speeds, roar up walls and fly to incredible heights. And now AIR TECK (A-T) has become the new rage with all of the gangs. Ikki got the dickens kicked out of him by a roller-blade gang and the four sisters that he is staying with are not going to allow him to forget it. Of the four sisters, it falls upon fourteen-year-old Ringo to be responsible for looking after their trouble-some ‘adopted’ little brother whom they have nicknamed ‘baby-face’. When Ikki finds out that the girls are part of an A-T gang called the ‘sleeping forest’, he borrows one of their skates and rides off into the night vowing to learn to ride . A chance encounter introduces him to a cute roller-blade girl. Ikki follows her to a Stormrider (AT gang) gathering and learns that she is called Simca. Simca really seems to take a fancy for him (or perhaps she really enjoys teasing him), but when his sisters (most specifically Ringo) find out, they are not happy with Ikki’s new friend.

Kaiji

Watch

Two sisters decide to run away from home with hopes of finding a job that would permit them to live on their own. After a series of rejections, the younger sister Mitsuki finds a posting outside of mansion for a live-in maid, and both she and Sawatari enter the large, spacious but very empty grounds of the house. There they find a boy of their age, Yoshitaka Nakayashi, a 14-year-old who has inherited millions due to the accidental death of his parents. Nakayashi fired all of the staff for treating him like a kid and not listening to him, but he finds himself unable to live alone and is now looking for a couple of live-in maids. While the two Izumi sisters might have some problems of their own, they never expected to find a position looking after a pampered pervert of a rich boy with an overblown uniform fetish, someone who wants to be addressed as goshujin-sama (master). But Nakayashi never expected to find Mitsuki’s pet alligator Pochi in one of their luggage cases.
