Amagi Brilliant Park Series by Shouji Gatou

Amusement parks are places of wonder and fun for all ages... right? Well, that's not quite the case for Amagi Brilliant Park, a "crummy" amusement park on the outskirts of Tokyo where the snacks are inedible, the attractions are falling apart, and the mascots regularly get into fistfights with the guests. It's the kind of place that cool, handsome, brilliant Kanie Seiya wouldn't be caught dead in.. moreAmusement parks are places of wonder and fun for all ages... right?

It's the kind of place that cool, handsome, brilliant Kanie Seiya wouldn't be caught dead in... until a mysterious girl drags him there--at literal gunpoint--and demands that he help them save the park!From the author of Full Metal Panic! less

Kanie Seiya has saved the park... right? Well, you can hardly call it “saved” when they’re majorly understaffed and their budget is running on fumes! Which means that if Seiya wants to give his newfound friends more than a brief stay of execution, he’ll have to navigate a new set of trials. Touch-and-go employee interviews and razor’s edge investor negotiations may be par for the course.. moreKanie Seiya has saved the park... right?

Working at your favorite amusement park is awesome... right? Well, it's not so easy for Chujo Shiina, a painfully shy girl who takes a job at AmaBri to escape a miserable first year of high school. Her favorite mascots are cranky old men, the star of the live show keeps catching fire, and her boss barely acknowledges her existence! What she doesn't know is that the park is in a new scramble to quintuple its yearly attendance or close... and she's about to become an integral part of that effort!

When things get overwhelming, the best move is to run away... right? Well, Seiya's certainly starting to feel that way, as summer draws to a close and the reality of the park's attendance seems locked in. Buckling beneath the pressure, Seiya tours the territory of Sanami Amusement Park, a desiccated ruin that seems to taunt him with visions of AmaBri's own future. But will the trip change his destiny — and Isuzu's — forever?
