Kafka wants to clean up kaiju, but not literally! Will a sudden
metamorphosis stand in the way of his dream? With the highest
kaiju-emergence rates in the world, Japan is no stranger to attack
by deadly monsters. Enter the Japan Defense Force, a military
organization tasked with the neutralization of kaiju. Kafka Hibino,
a kaiju-corpse cleanup man, has always dreamed of joining the
force. But when he gets another shot at achieving his childhood
dream, he undergoes an unexpected transformation. How can he fight
kaiju now that he's become one himself?! The raid on the Defense
Force's Tachikawa base continues as the officers expend their
efforts to fend off the yoju. Meanwhile, Hoshina unleashes his full
combat power to take on the daikaiju-the mightiest kaiju of the
group. Just when the battle seems to be over, the daikaiju
transforms and Kafka's detection ability reacts to it! Can Kafka
find a way to save the day without revealing his secret?

keeping control, BUT she's handling it. Totally. But when a
mysterious robot tries to infiltrate Avengers Tower, it'll be up to
Ms Marvel to (again, literally) pull herself together, learn to ask

As a child, Monkey D. Luffy dreamed of becoming King of the
Pirates. But his life changed when he accidentally ate the Gum-Gum
Fruit, an enchanted Devil Fruit that gave him the ability to
stretch like rubber. Its only drawback? He'll never be able to swim
again - a serious handicap for an aspiring sea dog! Years later,
Luffy sets off on his quest to find the One Piece, said to be the
greatest treasure in the world... Against all odds, Luffy and his
Straw Hat crew make landfall on Water Seven, a wacky maritime
wonderland where the world's best (and worst) shipwrights gather.
When the pirates learn that their trusty vessel, the Merry Go, has
sustained irreparable damage, the decision about what to do next
rends the crew apart! In the meantime, mysterious archaeologist
Nico Robin's dark past as a double agent is catching up with her,
and the Franky family - a nasty clan of ship-scrapping bounty
hunters - seem bent on the Straw Hats' destruction!
Chu Wanning has slumbered for five years since Mo Ran rescued his soul from the underworld. He wakes to find the world changed—and the greatest change of all is to his disciple Mo Ran. Now grown up, Mo Ran is nothing like the callow youth he remembers, and Chu Wanning finds himself drawn to his disciple with a force he never anticipated.
Meanwhile, Mo Ran has at last set aside the misunderstandings of two lifetimes. When his hatred for his teacher falls away, he finds the feelings beneath are not respect between master and disciple, but fiery passion. Yet even as the two wrestle with their own hearts, Mo Ran begins to realize that this world is diverging from the past life he remembers in strange new ways.
