From the author of The Mythology Class comes the long-anticipated
sequel! It's been two decades since the former classmates first
met, and the ensuing years have brought their share of changes.
Kubin's strength is weakening with each passing day; Lane's
telepathy is gone; Rey and Misha are nowhere to be found; and the
bonds that once held them together are slowly crumbling under their
misfortune. Thrown into the mix is Nicole and Kubin's daughter,
Marilag, who has grown distant from her. To add to the problems,
doubts about Enkanta's true purpose are mounting. Nicole, once the
heart of the group, now senses a dark spell settling over them, her
young daughter included. What the former classmates don't realize
is that a new band of visitors is about to arrive from a magical
realm. Will these visitors provide a portal to an enchanting new
world or usher in a new age of evil? And will the classmates still
be up to the challenge? Praise for THE MYTHOLOGY CLASS: "Before
Trese and other Philippine mythology--inspired graphic novels,
there's The Mythology Class(...) Having been the first to win in
the Comic Books category of the Philippine National Book Awards,
this revolutionary work is hitting the local big screen soon. And
just in case you loved it, a sequel was just released, 20 years
after the first one." --BookRiot "University students in Quezon
City receive an invitation to a mythology class, accompanied by
dreams of a "ghost lady," in this genre-defining classic of
Filipino comics from Arre (Halina Filipina), released in 1999 to
become the first graphic novel to win the Philippine National Book
Award, and now in its first U.S. edition(...)this exciting and
satisfying adventure, firmly rooted in Filipino culture, is a
must-read for its influence." --Publishers Weekly

boyfriend problems. Moving to Tokyo, she's hoping to take control
of her life and put all those messy misadventures behind her. She's

underground punk scene. She's got a dream and won't give up until
she becomes Japan's No. 1 rock'n'roll superstar. This is the story
of two 20-year-old women who share the same name. Even though they

become best friends. The world of Nanais a world exploding with
sex, music, fashion, gossip and all-night parties.

this world! From the day his parents named him, Nasa Yuzaki has
felt connected to outer space...whether he likes it or not. His

she insists on marrying him, Nasa will have plenty of chances to
find out! After a long day and a longer night apart, Tsukasa and
Nasa grow closer than ever. Their marriage gets downright steamy as

futon (gasp!) and even plan a proper romantic honeymoon. Also,
Tsukasa drags Nasa to a movie marathon to catch him up on her
favorite superhero film franchise. She hasn't lost sight of her
priorities here.
The surely soon-to-be million-copy bestselling sort-of
inspirational parody.. A timeless parody of Charlie Mackesy's The
Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse. Enter the world of me, Panda,
plus my sometime-friends Cat and Teddy. You will find us living our
best lives, trying (and occasionally succeeding) to be kind to each
other. The cat is quite nice but can be a little bit selfish. Teddy
can come across as very nice, with his squeaky voice and looking so
tiny and helpless. But I must warn you, Teddy can be a vicious
little backstabber, actually. This is a book of nice illustrations
and some words from which you will likely gain some sort of
inspiration. Like: 'Just because you're struggling, it doesn't mean
you're failing... But it might do.' 'Nothing beats kindness,' said
the cat. 'Gin does', said Panda. 'If you don't stop saying
inspirational things to me, I'm going to punch you up the hooter.'
'You OK, hun?' asked Panda, but he was just taking the piss. 'We're
just so, so lucky to have each other as friends, and it's going to
make a marvellous book.'
A fascinating field guide to Philippine monsters and mythology!
