Broke young man + chainsaw dog demon = Chainsaw Man! Denji was a
small-time devil hunter just trying to survive in a harsh world.
After being killed on a job, he is revived by his pet devil Pochita
and becomes something new and dangerous-Chainsaw Man! A mysterious
devil is demanding Denji's heart! But will the devil hunters from
Division 4 agree to this deal to save themselves? Or will Denji
have to do what Denji does best-turn into a chainsaw and carve up
everything that gets in his way?!
An action-packed thriller and source of the hit Netflix drama where
the only way to survive is to play the game! Eighteen-year-old
Ryohei Arisu is sick of his life. School sucks, his love life is a
joke, and his future feels like impending doom. As he struggles to
exist in a world that can't be bothered with him, Ryohei feels like
everything would be better if he were anywhere else. When a strange
fireworks show transports him and his friends to a parallel world,
Ryohei thinks all his wishes have come true. But this new world
isn't an empty paradise, it's a vicious game. And the only way to
survive is to play. The first game starts with a bang, but Ryohei
manages to beat the clock and save his friends. It's a short-lived
victory, however, as they discover that winning only earns them a
few days' grace period. If they want to get home, they're going to
have to start playing a lot harder.
Yuji Itadori is resolved to save the world from cursed demons, but
he soon learns that the best way to do it is to slowly lose his
humanity and become one himself! In a world where cursed spirits
feed on unsuspecting humans, fragments of the legendary and feared
demon Ryomen Sukuna were 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! A cursed womb mysteriously
appears at a detention facility. Itadori and his classmates are
dispatched to the scene, but they're in for quite the surprise when
they're attacked by a special-grade curse! Itadori allows Sukuna to
take over his body in order to survive, but the consequences are
more drastic than anyone expected!
One of the first dystopian novels ever written, The Last Man
traces the impact of an unstoppable pandemic as it slowly overtakes the
world. Beginning in the year 2073, the story follows Lionel Vesey—the
titular last man—and his circle of friends as the disease creeps from
continent to continent and erodes the foundations of civilization.
Published in 1826, after the death of Shelley’s husband, her
stepsister, and her two children, The Last Man is both an eerily
accurate story about humanity wrestling with disaster and a moving
fable about surviving personal grief.
In the latest of our celebrated series, you find yourself
surfacing, dazed in the waiting room. You read snatches of lines
over the shoulders of raincoats. In the carriage you have glimpses
and visions. At your destination you can hear space, see thunder,
taste realization. You are running towards something, someone in
the trees who holds out to you an understanding hand. Welcome to
the wonderful and sometimes frightening world of Unthology 5.
