Are high-school girls Nanoha and Chidori ready to face the storms in
their new romantic relationship together?
Nanoha and Chidori are best friends who attend the same all-girls high
school—and also share a heart-pounding secret: they’re lovers. Through
sunny days and tumultuous storms, they’re always ready for new
adventures together.
The couple cherishes each other while hiding their relationship from
their friends. Chidori can’t help but cheer on her super-cool
girlfriend during gym class, and Nanoha wants to flirt while the rain
pitter-patters on the umbrella they’re sharing, no matter who might be
listening. The seasons pass from spring to winter, but their
relationship only grows warmer as time marches on.
This book demonstrates that since the 1970s, British feminist
cartoons and comics have played an important part in the Women's
Movement in Britain. A key component of this has been humour. This
aspect of feminist history in Britain has not previously been
documented. The book questions why and how British feminists have
used humour in comics form to present serious political messages.
It also interrogates what the implications have been for the
development of feminist cartoons and for the popularisation of
feminism in Britain. The work responds to recent North American
feminist comics scholarship that concentrates on North American
autobiographical comics of trauma by women. This book highlights
the relevance of humour and provides a comparative British
perspective. The time frame is 1970 to 2019, chosen as
representative of a significant historical period for the
development of feminist cartoon and comics activity and of feminist
theory and practice. Research methods include archival data
collection, complemented by interviews with selected cartoonists.
Visual and textual analysis of specific examples draws on
literature from humour theory, comics studies and feminist theory.
Examples are also considered as responses to the economic, social
and political contexts in which they were produced.

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...

This Mature-rated danmei/Boys’ Love novel series originally released in
Chinese–and coming to the English language for the first time–is a
raunchy romantic comedy about an ancient singles club! Dear Sir...
Lonely, poor, and pushing forty, Wu Xingzi doesn't have much to live
for. In fact, the only thing he has going for him is the perfect
funeral plot he's picked out for himself... That is, until he stumbles
across the Peng Society and their monthly volume of personal ads for
gay men. At first, he's just looking for friendship with like-minded
people, but when he finds out that it's customary for members to
respond to polite letters with shockingly detailed ink drawings of
their, ahem, intimate anatomy, Wu Xingzi quickly gains a new purpose in
life: collecting phallic illustrations through the pigeon post! There's
just one problem. His favorite two-dimensional specimen belongs to a
man who's intent on thrusting himself into Wu Xingzi's life in a very
real, firm, three-dimensional fashion… The Seven Seas English-language
edition of this Mature-rated novel will feature uncensored text and
exclusive new art.
