Exorcise your destiny in an era-spanning supernatural adventure
from manga legend Rumiko Takahashi! When Nanoka is transported back
in time to a supernatural early 20th century, she gets recruited by
aloof exorcist Mao. What thread of fate connects them? Together,
they seek answers...and kick some demon butt along the way! The
reason for Shiranui's bitter grudge against Mao is revealed. And
now he demands that Mao give him the Taizanfukun spell, which has
the power to control life spans. But Shiranui isn't the only one
who wants it! Then, when the gang floats theories about the origin
of Byoki and his powers, Nanoka recruits Shiraha again to help with
her research in the present day. Will Shiraha's crush on Nanoka
ever be requited, or does she only have cat eyes for Mao? Plus, the
attack that left the scar under Mao's eye!
Just because the world of Bungo Stray Dogs is peaceful doesn't mean
there isn't trouble. From Dostoyevsky having trouble with Japanese
to Chuuya losing his hat, you never know what will happen next!
Mikako aims to take the world of fashion by storm but stumbles when
love comes into season in this coming-of-age tale from the creator of
Nana!
Welcome to Happy Berry! No, this isn’t a fruit stand, but the label
dreamed up by aspiring fashion designer Mikako Koda. In her quest to
make a name for herself in the fashion world, Mikako enters Yazawa Arts
Academy, a prestigious art school, alongside her strictly platonic
childhood friend Tsutomu. But there’s one problem—Tsutomu’s uncanny
resemblance to a rock star skyrockets him to popularity and leads him
to date the prettiest girl in school. Now Mikako can’t help but wonder
if what she feels is jealousy.
As Mikako and her friends work hard to get their club up and running,
Mikako notices Tsutomu has gotten close to their new member, Ayumi, and
begins to grow jealous. Later, Tsutomu and Mikako celebrate their
birthdays, but Mikako’s father’s absence weighs heavily on her heart,
prompting Tsutomu to urge her to track him down. Will this long-overdue
reunion lead to a breakthrough for Mikako, or is nothing she can do
extreme enough to force her to unbottle her emotions?
Something is rotten in Okinawa... The floating smell of death hangs
over the island. What is it? A strange, legged fish appears on the
scene... So begins Tadashi and Kaori's spiral into the horror and
stench of the sea. Here is the creepiest masterpiece of horror
manga ever from the creator of Uzumaki, Junji Ito. Hold your breath
until all is revealed.
The time has come! Showdown with the Red Dragon!!! After finally
reaching the fifth floor, it's time for the adventurers to face
their greatest challenge yet. They're putting their lives on to the
line in a fight with a monster with crimson hide that turns away
even the toughest steel and a fiery breath that turns even bones to
ash. Can they save Laios's sister? ...And maybe just as
importantly, can they eat dragon meat?!?
Antisocial, dorky boy seeks fun-loving, sexy vampire for
blood-sucking and transforming into her minion. One sleepless
night, Ko slips out to walk the streets. Life after dark is a
revelation! Especially when he meets flirtatious Nazuna. Except
that she's a vampire. That's okay. He wants to become a creature of
the night too. But transformation doesn't come that easily... Now
that Ko and Nazuna know the identity of the vampire responsible for
the deaths of Kyoko's parents, they are on high alert. Is it
possible to seek justice- or to at least prevent her from wreaking
another path of destruction? The answers will test Ko's human
friendships as well as his own humanity...
