Who will win when a bad boy player and a princely narcissist go head-to-head in bed?! Unassuming office worker by day, seductive playboy by night—Shinobu Urakawa is living his best double life until the stuck-up prince of sales Hikaru Omoteya invades Shinobu’s after-hours sanctuary. Shinobu keeps hoping the straight Hikaru will get tired of crashing a gay bar, but he keeps coming back! When Shinobu notices the looks Hikaru keeps sending his way, he decides to play dirty to reclaim his nightly refuge. Shinobu wasn’t planning on anything serious when he seduced Hikaru. He certainly wasn’t expecting to end up basically dating the guy. Hikaru is a lot sweeter than Shinobu expected, though, and making him smile is almost as good as taking him to bed. But just because he can admit he likes his old nemesis doesn’t mean he wants everyone to know!

Near the end of World War II and after, a small-town Nebraska
youth, Jimmy Kugler, drew more than a hundred double-sided sheets
of comic strip stories. Over half of these six-panel tales retold
the Pacific War as fought by "Frogs" and "Toads," humanoid
creatures brutally committed to a kill-or-be-killed struggle. The
history of American youth depends primarily on adult reminiscences
of their own childhoods, adult testimony to the lives of youth
around them, or surmises based on at best a few creative artifacts.
The survival then of such a large collection of adolescent comic
strips from America's small-town Midwest is remarkable. Michael
Kugler reproduces the never-before-published comics of his father's
adolescent imagination as a microhistory of American youth in that
formative era. Also included in Into the Jungle! A Boy's Comic
Strip History of World War II are the likely comic book models for
these stories and inspiration from news coverage in newspapers,
radio, movies, and newsreels. Kugler emphasizes how US propaganda
intended to inspire patriotic support for the war gave this young
artist a license for his imagined violence. In a context of
progressive American educational reform, these violent comic
stories, often in settings modeled on the artist's small Nebraska
town, suggests a form of adolescent rebellion against moral
conventions consistent with comic art's reputation for "outsider"
or countercultural expressions. Kugler also argues that these
comics provide evidence for the transition in American taste from
war stories to the horror comics of the late 1940s and early 1950s.
Kugler's thorough analysis of his father's adolescent art explains
how a small-town boy from the plains distilled the popular culture
of his day for an imagined war he could fight on his audacious,
even shocking terms.
To gain the power he needs to save his friend from a cursed spirit,
Yuji Itadori swallows a piece of a demon, only to find himself
caught in the midst of a horrific war of the supernatural! In a
world where cursed spirits feed on unsuspecting humans, fragments
of the legendary and feared demon Ryomen Sukuna have been lost and
scattered about. Should any demon consume Sukuna's body parts, the
power they gain could destroy the world as we know it. Fortunately,
there exists a mysterious school of jujutsu sorcerers who exist to
protect the precarious existence of the living from the
supernatural! Everyone's surprised (and not necessarily in a good
way) when they find out Itadori is still alive, but there's no time
for a heartwarming reunion when Jujutsu High is in the midst of an
intense competition with their rivals from Kyoto! But good
sportsmanship doesn't seem to be in the cards once the authorities
decide to eliminate the Sukuna threat once and for all...
