A mad young coach gathers soccer players from across the country to
compete in a series of bizarre challenges in a high-tech colosseum he
calls Blue Lock. It's a no-balls-barred battle to become Japan's next
top striker, in this Squid Game–meets–World Cup manga, now available in
print! Anime airing now! After a disastrous defeat at the 2018 World
Cup, Japan's team struggles to regroup. But what's mising? An absolute
ace striker. The Football Union is hell-bent on creating a striker who
hungers for goals and thirsts for victory, so Blue Lock -- a rigorous
training ground for 300 of Japan's best and brightest youth players --
is created. To survive this battle royale, the last striker standing
will have to out-muscle and out-ego everyone who stands in his way!

Girl meets boy the old-fashioned way - in an online game. The first
volume of the popular manga that inspired the anime series!
College student Akane has just been dumped by her boyfriend.
Heartbroken, she decides to quit the online RPG they used to play
together, but instead of deleting her account, she logs in and battles
low-level enemies to relieve her stress and hurt feelings. There, she
meets Yamada, an elite pro gamer so reclusive that Akane can’t decide
if he’s awkward or alluring.
When Akane encounters her ex at a gaming convention, she makes the snap
decision to pretend Yamada is her boyfriend and soon the two of them
are spending more time together in the game and in real life. The
problem is, Yamada is only interested in the game. As Akane's feelings
grow, will Yamada's focus stay on the game?
Volume 1 includes Chapters 1-9.
From her pygmy goat farm in Vermont, a cartoonist named Alison Bechdel
wonders: Can she pull humanity out of its death spiral by writing a
scathing memoir about her own greed and privilege?
But how can she just sit around writing a book when the world is
hanging on a thread?
In this hilariously skewering comic novel, Alison is existentially
pained by a climate-challenged world and a country on the brink of
civil war.
Her first graphic memoir about growing up with her taxidermist father
has been adapted into a highly successful TV series, Death and
Taxidermy. It’s a phenomenon that makes Alison, formerly on the
cultural margins, the envy of her friend group.
As the TV show racks up Emmy after Emmy, Alison’s own envy spirals.
Surely writing her own wildly popular reality TV series wouldn’t be
that hard? One that shows people how to free themselves from consumer
capitalism and live a more ethical life?!
In Spent, the celebrated, bestselling author of the modern classic Fun
Home presents a laugh-out-loud and passionately political work of
autofiction, and once again proves that “nobody does it better” (New
York Times) than the real Alison Bechdel.
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!
Welcome to the liminal zone, where things beyond your wildest imagination await.
What fate awaits when death is not the end?
A group of four university students stumbles upon a deserted, decaying village deep in the mountains only to find an enormous perpetual motion machine still at work there. Before they can answer the questions of who made it and to what end, the friends begin to disappear, one after the other. Another story sees the return of the strange Hikizuri siblings! A girl weighed down since birth by an invisible burden meets the odd siblings and moves in with them in order to understand the truth about herself. But after a string of bizarre occurrences, the siblings’ uncle appears on the scene…
