role-playing video games, from the very beginning their core lineup was original works set in
sword and sorcery fantasy worlds. From midway to the later period of the imprint, they began publishing Japanese-style fantasies, science fiction, and mysteries. For a few titles such as
Spirit Warrior and
Princess Minerva, Super Fantasy novelized manga, anime, and computer games. In contrast to their core fantasy label, they established Super Dash Bunko in July 2000 to publish school life and slapstick comedy light novel series. However, in April 2001, the Super Fantasy label was absorbed into the Super Dash label due to difficulties keeping both labels separate. Original series such as and its sequel , both by
Riki Ichijō, continued under the new combined label. In November 2014, Shueisha released a new label, Dash X Bunko, as a replacement for the Super Dash Bunko label. Since 2001, the label has administered the
Super Dash Novel Rookie of the Year Award, awarded to the best new light novel of the year. In 2007, Super Dash established the imprint Elite Novels (菁英文庫) in cooperation with
