Antisocial, dorky boy seeks fun-loving, sexy vampire for
blood-sucking and transforming into her minion. Nanakusa is a
vampire. That's okay with human Ko. He wants to be one too. But
transformation doesn't come that easily... One sleepless night, Ko
slips out to walk the streets. Life after dark is a revelation!
When flirtatious Nazuna invites Ko to spend the night at her place
in an abandoned building, he's stoked! But then he awakens to
kisses on his neck with a little too much bite to them... Is it
just the delicious taste of his blood that makes her meet him night
after night for late-night adventures, conversation and...naps? Or
something else? Then, when a cute girl from Ko's past shows up and
competes for his attention, his budding relationship with the
undead is put to the test!

Worden From his work on underground comix like Zap and Weirdo, to
his cultural prominence, R. Crumb is one of the most renowned
comics artists in the medium's history. His work, beginning in the
1960s, ranges provocatively and controversially over major moments,
tensions, and ideas in the late twentieth and early twenty-first
centuries, from the counterculture and the emergence of the modern
environmentalist movement, to racial politics and sexual
liberation. While Crumb's early work refined the parodic,
over-the-top, and sexually explicit styles we associate with
underground comix, he also pioneered the comics memoir, through his
own autobiographical and confessional comics, as well as in his
collaborations. More recently, Crumb has turned to long-form,
book-length works, such as his acclaimed Book of Genesis and Kafka.
Over the long arc of his career, Crumb has shaped the conventions
of underground and alternative comics, autobiographical comics, and
the ""graphic novel."" And, through his involvement in music,
animation, and documentary film projects, Crumb is a widely
recognized persona, an artist who has defined the vocation of the
cartoonist in a widely influential way. The Comics of R. Crumb:
Underground in the Art Museum is a groundbreaking collection on the
work of a pioneer of underground comix and a fixture of comics
culture. Ranging from art history and literary studies, to
environmental studies and religious history, the essays included in
this volume cast Crumb's work as formally sophisticated and complex
in its representations of gender, sexuality, race, politics, and
history, while also charting Crumb's role in underground comix and
the ways in which his work has circulated in the art museum.
The journey to 100 friends begins with a single conversation.
Socially anxious high school student Shoko Komi's greatest dream is
to make some friends, but everyone at school mistakes her crippling
social anxiety for cool reserve. Luckily she meets Tadano, a timid
wallflower who decides to step out of his comfort zone in order to
help her achieve her goal of making 100 friends. Komi and her
friends are going on a ski trip! Who cares if only some of them
actually know how to conquer the slopes. The point is to have fun
and show off their winter fashions! But things take a turn for the
awkward when Manbagi and Tadano get left behind and have to spend
the night in snow country. The only inn around is expensive, but
worse than that, there's only one room!
