Ruri faces the usual high school issues: pushy classmates, annoying teachers, and…waking up with dragon horns?!
Just after starting high school, Ruri gets hit with the biggest reveal of her life—she’s a dragon!
Well, a half dragon. Her mom admits Ruri inherited her draconic traits from her father, who, yes, is actually a dragon. As if dealing with curious classmates wasn’t already challenging enough, Ruri and her dragon genes literally turn up the heat in the middle of a lecture. Her ordinary life is about to be anything but!
The adventure is over but life goes on for an elf mage just
beginning to learn what living is all about. Elf mage Frieren and
her courageous fellow adventurers have defeated the Demon King and
brought peace to the land. But Frieren will long outlive the rest
of her former party. How will she come to understand what life
means to the people around her? The Northern Plateau-a wild and
dangerous place, filled with monsters and other threats. Frieren
once traveled it with her legendary friends now long passed. Now,
she finds herself following those familiar paths with new friends.
Frieren's journey brings back many old memories, including...the
terrible flavor of bread?

____________________________________ Persephone, young goddess of
spring, is new to Olympus. Her mother, Demeter, has raised her in
the mortal realm, but after Persephone promises to train as a
sacred virgin, she's allowed to live in the fast-moving, glamorous
world of the gods. When her roommate, Artemis, takes her to a
party, her entire life changes: she ends up meeting Hades and feels
an immediate spark with the charming yet misunderstood ruler of the
Underworld. Now Persephone must navigate the confusing politics and
relationships that rule Olympus, while also figuring out her own
place - and her own power. This edition of Smythe's original
Eisner-nominated webcomic Lore Olympus features a brand-new,
exclusive short story, and brings the Greek pantheon into the
modern age in a sharply perceptive and romantic graphic novel. This
volume collects episodes 1-25 of the #1 WEBTOON comic Lore Olympus.
Robert Crumb (b. 1943) read widely and deeply a long roster of
authors including Robert Louis Stevenson, Charles Dickens, J. D.
Salinger, Jack Kerouac, William S. Burroughs, and Allen Ginsberg,
as well as religious classics including biblical, Buddhist, Hindu,
and Gnostic texts. Crumb's genius, according to author David
Stephen Calonne, lies in his ability to absorb a variety of
literary, artistic, and spiritual traditions and incorporate them
within an original, American mode of discourse that seeks to reveal
his personal search for the meaning of life. R. Crumb: Literature,
Autobiography, and the Quest for Self contains six chapters that
chart Crumb's intellectual trajectory and explore the recurring
philosophical themes that permeate his depictions of literary and
biographical works and the ways he responds to them through
innovative, dazzling compositional techniques. Calonne explores the
ways Crumb develops concepts of solitude, despair, desire, and
conflict as aspects of the quest for self in his engagement with
the book of Genesis and works by Franz Kafka, Jean-Paul Sartre, the
Beats, Charles Bukowski, and Philip K. Dick, as well as Crumb's
illustrations of biographies of musicians Jelly Roll Morton and
Charley Patton. Calonne demonstrates how Crumb's love for
literature led him to attempt an extremely faithful rendering of
the texts he admired while at the same time highlighting for his
readers the particular hidden philosophical meanings he found most
significant in his own autobiographical quest for identity and his
authentic self.
