CASTE HEAVEN GN (2025)

"It's a cruel game where the card you possess determines your class rank. Azusa has the king, the most powerful of the cards, allowing him to rule his class however ruthlessly he chooses. But all bets are off when Azusa is double-crossed, shattering his pride as he drops to target, the lowest of the ranks. Now bullied by the very people he himself mistreated, Azusa is given a choice-become the new king's plaything or service the entire class! For mature audiences."

"Atsumu, a regular target of the school bullies, has had a rough life. But his luck changes when Kuze, the classmate he idolizes, helps him out during the caste game by giving him his jack card. Despite his reservations about Kuze's true intentions, Atsumu can't help but lose himself in the pleasures Kuze gives him. But will those pleasures come at a cost?"

"Karino's older half brother Tatsumi is a proper honor student, diligently and obediently following the path laid out for him by others. But after he unexpectedly falls for eccentric Senzaki, he takes a surprising detour by unscrupulously securing the delinquent caste for himself. Senzaki accepts Tatsumi's feelings with reckless abandon, expecting him to do the same. But is Tatsumi willing to forge a new path to be with the impetuous Senzaki?"

"Ever since Karino betrayed him by dragging him off his kingly throne, dropping him to target, Azusa has sworn revenge. But as he's planning his next move, he's approached by shy geek Inugai, who's taken a rather sudden-if odd-interest in photography. What are Inugai's true motives? And is revenge really what Azusa seeks? For mature audiences. "

It's the annual class trip, and Azusa is assigned to the same group as Atsumu and Kuze. While the three of them enjoy the sights in Kyoto, someone repeatedly attempts to harm Azusa. It isn't long before Karino, Azusa's knight in tarnished armor, comes to the rescue. The two spend the rest of the trip together alone, with their relationship undergoing a major change! For mature audiences.

Another summer has passed, and fall's arrival brings with it the excitement of the school's culture festival! It's fun event after fun event, with Karino and Azusa cosplaying, Kuze putting a band together, and Atsumu discovering his feminine side. But while everyone is enjoying themselves, third-year eccentric Eno is cooking up a dastardly plan! Just how long can Karino protect Azusa from someone so set on revenge? For mature audiences.

The third trimester begins, and the school's atmosphere has changed. Karino grows closer to the increasingly vile Eno, and Azusa spends more of his time with recently returned Daisho. But Eno's hatred for Azusa has him scheming up yet another event for humiliating him. Karino doesn't want a repeat of the culture festival, but is it too late for him to right those wrongs and save Azusa?

Karino slips up by publicly shielding Azusa, the target, during Eno's frenzied public hunt for him. Branded a failure as a king, Karino is quickly dragged from his throne, and once again, class 2-1 must play the caste game. Then, ten years after their tumultuous high school days, what futures have Azusa, Karino, and the others been able to make for themselves? For mature audiences.
