Tanjiro and the rest of the Demon Slayer Corps are back and facing their greatest challenge yet: school life! Welcome to Kimetsu Academy, a school attended by the most exceptional students you’ve ever seen! This comedic spin-off of the international smash hit Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba pits Tanjiro, Nezuko, and all the rest of the Demon Slayer Corps against the trials and tribulations of student life. School’s about to be out—forever! As the school’s culture festival approaches, Muzan seizes on an opportunity to finally take control of Kimetsu Academy! Will Tanjiro, Inosuke, and Zenitsu be able to ensure their festival goes off without a hitch, or will their rocking musical performance end with a very real bang? And let’s not forget about Daki’s part-time job, a lesson on lending with Sanemi, and an educational hot pot experience with Rengoku!
The bestselling modern classic, Milan Kundera’s iconic novel of love and politics in communist Czechoslovakia.
A young woman is in love with a successful surgeon; a man torn between his love for her and his womanising. His mistress, a free-spirited artist, lives her life as a series of betrayals; while her other lover stands to lose everything because of his noble qualities. In a world where lives are shaped by choices and events, and everything occurs but once, existence seems to lose its substance and weight – and we feel ‘the unbearable lightness of being’.
The Unbearable Lightness of Being encompasses passion and philosophy, infidelity and ideas, the Prague Spring and modern America, political acts and private desires, comedy and tragedy – in fact, all of human existence.
The adventure is over but life goes on for an elf mage just
beginning to learn what living is all about. Elf mage Frieren and
her courageous fellow adventurers have defeated the Demon King and
brought peace to the land. But Frieren will long outlive the rest
of her former party. How will she come to understand what life
means to the people around her? The mages begin the second stage of
their certification exam: a dangerous expedition into the innermost
depths of the ruins of the king's tomb. This time, there are no
teams and it's every mage for themselves. Whether they want to team
up or not, the challenge they will face-their own clones-will push
their skills to the limit.
