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! Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto have been assigned a
mission to escort the Star Plasma Vessel to Master Tengen. When
they're ambushed by Toji Fushiguro, a mercenary known as the
Sorcerer Killer, will Gojo and Geto survive? And will this be the
turning point where Gojo becomes the world's strongest exorcist
while Geto embraces a life of ruin and rebellion?
Jane Eyre ranks as one of the greatest and most perennially popular works of English fiction. Although the poor but plucky heroine is outwardly of plain appearance, she possesses an indomitable spirit, a sharp wit and great courage.
She is forced to battle against the exigencies of a cruel guardian, a harsh employer and a rigid social order. All of which circumscribe her life and position when she becomes governess to the daughter of the mysterious, sardonic and attractive Mr Rochester. However, there is great kindness and warmth in this epic love story, which is set against the magnificent backdrop of the Yorkshire moors.
Ultimately the grand passion of Jane and Rochester is called upon to survive cruel revelation, loss and reunion, only to be confronted with tragedy.
Anne Shirley is an eleven-year-old orphan who has hung on determinedly to an optimistic spirit and a wildly creative imagination through her early deprivations. She erupts into the lives of aging brother and sister Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, a girl instead of the boy they had sent for.
Thus begins a story of transformation for all three; indeed the whole rural community of Avonlea comes under Anne’s influence in some way. We see her grow from a girl to a young woman of sixteen, making her mistakes, and not always learning from them. Intelligent, hot-headed as her own red hair, unwilling to take a moral truth as read until she works it out for herself, she must also face grief and loss and learn the true meaning of love.
Part Tom Sawyer, part Jane Eyre, by the end of Anne of Green Gables, Anne has become the heroine of her own story.
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! With the
climactic battle against the Gun Devil close, Aki may be wavering.
Has he found something more important to him than revenge? And what
is the true meaning behind the vision shown to him by the Future
Devil?
