than just a peep! Later, Taiyo and Mutsumi attempt to infiltrate a
hospital known to have connections with Tanpopo, but a doctor there
named Kawashita is already one step ahead of them...

WORLD'S END BLUE BIRD is a fantastical, magical love story about
overcoming fate in a painful and impossible world.
Also known as 2ha, the wildly popular danmei/Boys' Love novel
series from China that inspired a multimedia franchise! A
historical fantasy epic about a tyrant's second chance at life and
the powerful cultivation teacher he can't get out of his mind.
Massacring his way to the top to become emperor of the cultivation
world, Mo Ran's cruel reign left him with little satisfaction. Now,
upon suffering his greatest loss, he takes his own life... To his
surprise, Mo Ran awakens in his own body at age sixteen, years
before he ever began his bloody conquests. Now, as a novice
disciple at the cultivation sect known as Sisheng Peak, Mo Ran has
a second chance at life. This time, he vows that he will attain the
gratification that eluded him in his last life: the overly
righteous shall fall, and none will dare treat him like a dog ever
again! His furious passion burns most fiercely for his shizun, Chu
Wanning, the beautiful yet cold cultivation teacher who maintains a
cat-like aloofness in his presence. Yet despite Mo Ran's shameless
pursuit of his own goals, he begins to question his previously held
beliefs, and wonders if there could be more to his teacher-and his
own feelings-than he ever realized. This Chinese fantasy (xianxia)
epic built around the desire between two men (danmei) has been
translated into multiple languages and inspired a multimedia
franchise in China. The Seven Seas English-language edition will
include exclusive, all-new covers and interior illustrations from
artist St with a translation by Rynn & Jun.
