The Anime Lad
Toru is a former soldier without a purpose now that the war has ended. He meets Chaika, a young sorceress traveling with a coffin. Toru and his employed sister Akari join her. Their new arrangement offers direction, danger, and unusual luggage.
Super Eyepatch Fox
Peace leaves former soldier Toru restless and unemployed. A chance encounter with Chaika, a sorceress carrying a coffin, gives him somewhere to go. His adopted sister Akari joins them, turning an aimless postwar life into fantasy travel with dangerous work ahead.
Gigguku
Chaika arrives carrying a coffin and immediately gives Toru a reason to use the skills peace left idle. Add his practical sister Akari, and the traveling group has a wonderfully strange balance. The premise makes unusual luggage feel like an invitation to adventure.
Father's Basement
A coffin-carrying sorceress is an obvious mystery signal, and the setup works hard to make her strange. The surrounding postwar idea is stronger. Toru has skills built for a conflict that ended, so joining Chaika offers practical direction before it promises heroism.
