Horror master Junji Ito explores a new frontier with a grand cosmic
horror tale in which a mysterious woman has her way with the world!
A woman walks alone at the foot of Mount Sengoku. A man appears,
saying he's been waiting for her, and invites her to a nearby
village. Surprisingly, the village is covered in hairlike volcanic
glass fibers, and all of it shines a bright gold. At night, when
the villagers perform their custom of gazing up at the starry sky,
countless unidentified flying objects come raining down on them-the
opening act for the terror about to occur! A woman walks alone at

Following on from Tintin in the Land of the Soviets and bolstered by publicity stunts, Tintin in the Congo was a commercial success within Belgium and was also serialised in France. Hergé continued The Adventures of Tintin with Tintin in America in 1932, and the series subsequently became a defining part of the Franco-Belgian comics tradition. In 1946, Hergé re-drew and coloured Tintin in the Congo in his distinctive ligne-claire style for republication by Casterman, with further alterations made at the request of his Scandinavian publisher for a 1975 edition. In the late 20th century, Tintin in the Congo came under criticism for both its perceived racist colonial attitude toward the Congolese and for its glorification of big-game hunting; accordingly, attempts were made in Belgium, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States to either ban the work or restrict its availability to children.
The young Robert Louis Stevenson, living in a boarding house in San
Francisco while waiting for his beloved's divorce from her feckless
husband, dreamed of writing a soaring novel about his landlady's
adventurous and globe-trotting husband but he never got around to
it. And very soon thereafter he was married, headed home to
Scotland, and on his way to becoming the most famous novelist in
the world, after writing such classics as Treasure Island, The
Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and Kidnapped. But now
Brian Doyle brings Stevenson's untold tale to life, braiding the
adventures of seaman John Carson with those of a young Stevenson,
wandering the streets of San Francisco, gathering material for his
fiction, and yearning for his beloved across the bay. An adventure
tale, an elegy to one of the greatest writers of our language, a
time-traveling plunge into The City by the Bay during its own
energetic youth, The Adventures of John Carson in Several Quarters
of the World is entertaining, poignant, and sensual.

Akane takes on the world of rakugo to avenge her father! Shinta Arakawa wants nothing more than to pass his shin’uchi exam—the test that would make him a top-rank headliner and master storyteller in the traditional Japanese art of rakugo. Akane Osaki, his daughter and biggest fan, spies on him while he practices and learns his routines for herself. When rakugo master Issho Arakawa expels everyone after the exam with no explanation, a fire is lit inside Akane. From that day forth, she has had one goal—to avenge her father and prove his art was worthy of the title of shin’uchi. Even though it’s Asagao's futatsume promotion, Akane’s own promotion recommendation is on the line with this performance as the zenza opening act. The one judging her is not only a friend of Chocho’s and Taizen, one of the Arakawa Arch Four, but also a longtime friend of her own father. Taizen recognizes Akane’s talent but is threatened to not recommend or promote any of Shiguma’s students by Zensho, another one of the Arch Four. Will Taizen make the right decision, or will he succumb to his peer? Meanwhile, Maikeru Arakawa is gearing up to be the first person in the Arakawa school to take the shin’uchi test since the expulsion scandal.
