Lucky Star
Wolf's Rain is about the journey of four lone wolves who cross paths while following the scent of the Lunar Flowers.

Along the way, they must avoid a fanatical wolf hunter and the nobles who wish to use the Flower Maiden to create their own Paradise.
As the story progresses the history is unravelled. Apparently, when the end of the world comes, Paradise will be shown but only to wolves. It was thought that wolves had been hunted out hundreds of years ago but a few remained alive. The main characters are the wolves Kiba, Hige, Tsume, Toboe and Cheza, the flower maiden.
Haruhi Fujioka is a scholarship student at Ouran High School, a fictional school located in Bunkyō, Tokyo. Because of the superlative cost of the school uniform, Haruhi resorts to wearing long slacks, polo shirts and vests. Combined with her large glasses and tousled short hair, Haruhi's look causes her to be confused for a boy.
Looking for a quiet place to study, Haruhi stumbles upon the Third Music Room, the working place of the Ouran Host Club, a group of six extremely attractive male students (Takashi Morinozuka, called "Mori"; Mitsukuni Haninozuka, called "Hunny"; twins Kaoru and Hikaru Hitachiin; Tamaki Suoh, and Kyoya Ootori) who spend their time charming and entertaining the school's girls for profit. During their first meeting, Haruhi accidentally knocks over and breaks a vase valued at
In order to pay off the large debt, Haruhi is employed as the club's "dog" and is constantly ordered to do menial tasks like serving food or cleaning up. The club president, Tamaki Suoh, without knowing she is really a girl, promotes Haruhi to "host" as soon as he discovers her potential. Even after the truth comes out in the Club, Haruhi continues the charade and is allowed to pay off the rest of her debt working as a host; in order to accomplish this, Haruhi conceals her true identity/gender from the customers and the school

One of the daughters to the vampire couple is Karin, a demented vampire who creates blood instead of drinking it like a normal vampire. She attends the nearby school where romance blooms and sad pasts are revealed.

The main characters are Karin-san, Maki-san, Winner Kun, Anju and Kenta.
Shakugan No Shana
Yuji Sakai, a high school student, expected his very normal life to last forever. However, this expectation is quickly shattered one day while on his way home.
The world suddenly freezes in time, leaving Yuji to watch in horror as blue flames engulf the people around him. Soon a monster resembling a large doll appears and begins sucking the flames into its mouth, until it notices Yuji. Surprised with Yuji's insusceptibility to the time-stop (fuzetsu), it jumps with glee.
Just as the monster prepares to consume Yuji, a sword-wielding girl in black attire with flaming red eyes and hair appears, swiftly and confidently destroys the monster, before noticing Yuji moving freely. The girl calls herself a "Flame Haze" who hunts the "Denizens of the Crimson Realm" and the "Rinne" they send to do their bidding. When Yuji notices a blue flame in his chest, the Flame Haze tells him that the "real" Yuji died some time ago, and that he is a "Torch", a temporary replacement for erased humans. Torches take on the forms of those erased persons, but after a period of time, they will vanish from existence and the memories of the living. Unfazed by his apparent death, Yuji befriends the strange girl and names her "Shana" after her sword.
The reason Yuji was able to move in the fuzetsu is that he is not a normal Torch, but instead a special kind called a "Mystes": he has a treasure inside him, known as a "Hougu", a device possessing special abilities of sorts, and an extremely powerful and valuable one at that. The hougo inside Yuji allows him to remain in existence rather than fading away like other torches. Shana resolves to protect Yuji from the Denizens, who would use the treasure to disrupt the balance of the world, and Yuji decides to join Shana in her fight.
Death Note
The storyline of Death Note is when a boy called Light finds a little black book on the ground after school one day. He discovers that it is called the 'death note'. A monster appears, saying that it's a Death God and it is the owner of the book. He explains all the rules it has to it, such as the fact that having it in his possesion means that Light can never enter Heaven and that any name written in it means that the owner does within 30 minutes of a heart attack if no time or cause of death is specified.
Light takes this on with vigour and starts making 'justice' in the streets of Japan. The National Police Force notices a pattern in the deaths and assign their top force to find the killer and stop him. Little do they know that their senior officer is the father of the killer, Light. Light goes under the name of Kira and continues to prove Justice. Little does Light know that the police force also think that they are doing justice on the streets of Japan. Soon the 'Justice' dance becomes a dangerous game of cat and mouse and Light and the top police officer, L, are in the middle of it. Both leading their secret lives and both trying to catch the other and kill them.
