From the artist of Ayakashi Triangle, To Love Ru (both also from Seven Seas), and Black Cat! This provocative sci-fi tale is the manga version of the hit anime--but with a divergent storyline. In a devastated post-apocalyptic future, Earth is a desolate wasteland. Humanity's only remaining strongholds are mobile fortress cities called Plantations, defended by giant robots known as FRANXX, who drive back the massive predatory Klaxosaurs that now roam the land. Failed pilot Hiro would be out there fighting them if he hadn't screwed it all up. But a chance encounter with a mysterious horned girl is about to change the course of his life-and his destiny piloting the FRANXX.

'An intriguing mixture of past tradition and future-shock dystopia, written by a giant of the genre ... highly recommended.' Lee Child. Following an unexplained worldwide catastrophe in which the Internet and all electronic records have been wiped out, much of the USA is in a state of anarchy, with regions/states seceding and not allowing visitors in or people out. An involuntary NYC private eye is asked by a beautiful, if damaged woman to find her younger sister who has disappeared. They are both the daughters of a sinister man, the Commander, who is pulling the strings in a city where Central Park has become a no man's land. Following the trail of nude photos the younger sister was a part of, the detective unravels some of the threads of a major conspiracy, albeit at his bodily peril, assisted by the daughter of the King of Washington Square who helps him evade 'Reservoir Dogs', the Commander's lethal henchman and April Lea an Amazonian model who is also a martial arts fighter and the Commander's Punisher. When a clue left by a dead photographer indicates the young woman is now in New Orleans - alongside the love of the detective's life whom he thought was dead - which is cut off from the rest of the world, the detective and his sidekick make a perilous journey down the Mississippi and manage to smuggle their way into the city, now controlled by an assortment of bizarre gangs, where they face new perils, of a possible supernatural nature which might have a bearing on the worldwide catastrophe and he makes a journey through hell and back to not just solve the case but save his own soul and find the woman he once loved before the world broke down.

The team is busy organising a demonstration against the black sheep poster. Mwana has one foot in each culture. He sees Swiss society through African eyes, with all its contradictions: its moderation, stunning landscapes and its eccentricities, but also its intolerance and inflexibility. He also casts a critical eye on his native Africa, the weight of its traditions and beliefs. Is belonging nowhere the price Mwana has to pay for these insights? Sad and playful Does Snow Turn a Person White Inside? is a moving reflection on the immigrant.
