Tanjiro sets out on the path of the Demon Slayer to save his sister
and avenge his family! In Taisho-era Japan, Tanjiro Kamado is a
kindhearted boy who makes a living selling charcoal. But his
peaceful life is shattered when a demon slaughters his entire
family. His little sister Nezuko is the only survivor, but she has
been transformed into a demon herself! Tanjiro sets out on a
dangerous journey to find a way to return his sister to normal and
destroy the demon who ruined his life. Tanjiro and Nezuko cross
paths with two powerful demons who fight with magical weapons. Even
help from Tamayo and Yushiro may not be enough to defeat these
demons who claim to belong to the Twelve Kizuki that directly serve
Kibutsuji, the demon responsible for all of Tanjiro's woes! But if
these demons can be defeated, what secrets can they reveal about
Kibutsuji?
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...
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.
