The Saikyou Series (
Background[]
The Saikyou Series, unlike both the Zaregoto and Ningen Series, is comprised of a number of short stories written by Nisio Isin, published separately, which are periodically collected in volumes, published in the Kodansha Novels imprint of Kodansha, like both other series originally were. The series has ended with a total of four volumes published, the first one released on April 23rd, 2015, and the last on May 11th, 2020. A Kodansha Bunko re-release has not yet started.
Premise[]
As its name implies, the Saikyou Series follows the adventures (and misadventures) of Humanity's Strongest Contractor, Jun Aikawa. Taking place all around the timeline, from the time when Aikawa wasn't yet known as the Strongest, to 10 years later after the events of the Zaregoto Series. The short stories include the time when Aikawa faced off against a digital detective in a battle of wits, the time she fought against a series of malevolent alien lifeforms attacking Tokyo, or the time she met the infamous misanthrope scientist Motsure Kitsuregawa (or rather, his descendant).

Title[]
The title of each volume is taken from one of the short stories contained in it. The short stories are titled in a similar format, stating a love-related term of Humanity's Strongest Contractor (for example: The First Love of Humanity's Strongest or The True Love of Humanity's Strongest). The exception to this being the running story, Jun Aikawa's Failed Miss/ion.
