With the "princess" away, a new girl is hanging around Last Order--she's a marvel in the kitchen, but her motivations aren't on the menu. Who is this girl, really, and what is she after? If she's here to serve up trouble, a recuperating Accelerator might not be around to dig in.

'" In this pulse-pounding climax to the Daihasei Festival Arc, Misaka''s allies split up to fight their own battles. Friend and foe and even mild acquaintances team up to save the only thing they all share in common-Academy City. With the giant brain Exterior thrown into the mix, this fight is a real puzzler! In the meantime, the doomsday clock has started ticking...and Misaka''s time is almost up! "'

'" Kuriba Ryoko''s Doppelgänger--the by product of a cyborg experiment that may have generated a human soul--has run amok, and Misaka may be the only one who can stop it. Misaka''s unlikely team-up with the girls of Scavenger could be the key to uncovering the truth inside the Doppelgänger. The explosive conclusion to the Dream Ranker Arc! "'

Touma Kamijou just can't catch a break. He might live in Academy City, a place full of more super powered students than you can shake a stick at, but his only superpower is his supernatural lack of luck. He wants nothing more than to keep a low profile, but when a girl named Index comes into his life, it gets more complicated and dangerous than ever!

'" Welcome to a world where mysticism and science collide, and supernatural powers are derived from either science or religion. At the heart of this world is Academy City, an advanced metropolis whose population is comprised mostly of students. The majority of students are enrolled in the city''s “Power Curriculum Program,” where they must learn to master their latent psychic powers. Out of several million students, only seven are deemed powerful enough to have Level 5 status. Meet Mikoto Misaka, the third most powerful Level 5 esper in Academy City. Together with her best friend Kuroko Shirai and the other members of Judgment, a student-run law enforcement agency, Mikoto delves deep into the dark heart of the scientific sprawl she calls home, and uncovers secrets she wishes she hadn''t! "'

'" Hokaze Junko, one of the top "handmaidens" of Shokuhou Misaki, has always blended into the background of Tokiwadai--an easy feat when you go to an all-girls'' school full of powerful psychics. But when a ghostly figure starts stalking her, Junko is suddenly the center of attention! As Junko investigates her stalker, she starts to learn new things about her classmates...and herself! "'
