The journey to 100 friends begins with a single conversation.
Socially anxious high school student Shoko Komi's greatest dream is

wallflower who decides to step out of his comfort zone in order to
help her achieve her goal of making 100 friends. It's Valentine's
Day again, and Itan High is a chocolatsravaganza! But while most of
the students are giving out goodies to celebrate friendships, Komi
and Manbagi have a different goal-Tadano's heart! But do either of
them have the courage to actually tell him that...?

Tequio in Mexico, auzolan in Basque Country, lumbung in Indonesia,
ubuntu in South Africa, mutirao in Brazil - all terms used around
the world to describe the concept of collective work. Bringing
together 8 publishing houses and 7 writers, each writing in a
different language, Lumbung Stories is a true product of communal
action. From speculative essays and experimental texts to intimate
stories that portray collective work as something every day and
habitual, each writer presents their unique take on what a "lumbung
story" is. These tales take us from olive groves in Andalusia to
tiger-filled forests in Indonesia; from youths fumbling through
adolescence together in the Basque country, to outsiders uniting
through vibrant rituals in Sao Paulo, and from explorations of
intergenerational and transhistorical struggle in South Africa, to
an academic text from a society rebuilding in a post-Capitalist,
post-climate-crisis future. Blurring the lines between realism and
fiction, the past and the future, this unique and powerful
collection brims with life and is a vital reminder of the ties that
unite us all.
Wei Wuxian was once one of the most powerful men of his generation,
a talented and clever young cultivator who harnessed martial arts
and spirituality into powerful abilities. But when the horrors of
war led him to seek more power through demonic cultivation, the
world's respect for his abilities turned to fear, and his death was
celebrated throughout the land. Years later, he awakens in the body
of an aggrieved young man who sacrifices his soul so that Wei
Wuxian can exact revenge on his behalf. Though granted a second
life, Wei Wuxian is not free from his first, nor the mysteries that
appear before him now. Yet this time, he'll face it all with the
righteous and esteemed Lan Wangji at his side, another powerful
cultivator whose unwavering dedication and shared memories of their
past will help shine a light on the dark truths that surround them.
This Chinese xianxia fantasy novel series built around the
romanticized love between two men (danmei) has been translated into

live-action series The Untamed available now on Netflix, YouTube,
and more. The Seven Seas English-language edition will include
exclusive, all-new covers from Jin Fang (jinzillaa), interior
illustrations from Marina Privalova (BaoshanKaro), and a
