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

worthy of the title of shin’uchi.
As a prominent rookie with a target on her back, Akane takes an opening
slot with the goal of clapping back against the veteran futatsume, Rien

Clint Eastwood's completion of the Iwo Jima saga. Here the action
is seen from the Japanese point of view and the film is based on
the book 'Picture Letters from Commander in Chief' by Tadamichi
Kuribayashi. The island of Iwo Jima stands between the American
military force and the home islands of Japan. Therefore the
Imperial Japanese Army is desperate to prevent it from falling into
American hands and providing a launching point for an invasion of
Japan. General Tadamichi Kuribayashi (Ken Watanabe) is given
command of the forces on the island and sets out to prepare for the
imminent attack. General Kuribayashi, however, does not favour the
rigid traditional approach recommended by his subordinates, and
resentment and resistance fester among his staff.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of historical and
international debates on the theory of "labor money" or "labor
notes." These debates exist in a triangular context of market
socialism, communism (community-based socialism), and local
currency, joining numerous socialists, anarchists, and Marx and
Engels. Labor note theory encompasses theoretical, ideological, and
practical doctrines aimed at designing a fair and desirable
labor-based market or non-market economy by reforming the monetary
and credit system. This theory was considered an unfeasible utopian
idea in the context of orthodox Marxism, which is typically based
on a historical study of surplus value doctrines. However, this
book eschews Marx's critique of "labor money" that limits the
debate regarding a concrete alternative society, and instead
proposes practical and gradual approaches to social reform by
scrutinizing the primary sources of labor money theories and
practical experiences and reconstructs their theoretical
relationships.
Electronic state of every solid is basically classified into two
categories according to its electrical responses: insulator or
metal. A textbook of modern solid state physics explains that shape
of a Fermi surface plays a key role in most physical properties in
metals. One of the well-established experimental methods to detect
a Fermi surface is measurement of quantum oscillations that is a
periodic response of physical quantities with respect to external
magnetic fields. As insulators do not host Fermi surface, it is
believed that they do not exhibit any quantum oscillations. This
book presents a comprehensive review of recent observations of
quantum oscillations in the Kondo insulators, SmB6 and YbB12, and
discusses how the observations are demonstrated by a newly proposed
mechanism where emergent charge-neutral fermions exhibit quantum
oscillations instead of bare electrons. It also focuses on
topological properties of Kondo insulators, and demonstrates that
YbB12 hosts a surface metallic conduction owing to its non-trivial
band structure. Further it presents the experiments of specific
heat and thermal conductivity in YbB12 down to ultra-low
temperature to discuss the possible low-energy excitations from a
Fermi surface of neutral fermions. The demonstrated gapless and
itinerant fermionic excitations, that is the significant
contribution from charge neutral fermions, violates Wiedemann-Franz
law. The discoveries point out a highly unconventional phase of
quantum state-electrically insulating but thermally
metallic-realized in the bulk of topological Kondo insulators.

Takashi Natsume has always been aware of the supernatural world,
but after he inherits a magical book from his grandmother, the
supernatural world is aware of him! Takashi Natsume can see the
spirits and demons that hide from the rest of humanity. He has
always been set apart from other people because of his gift,
drifting from relative to relative, never fitting in. Now he is a
troubled high school student who has come to live in the small town
where his grandmother grew up. And there he discovers that he has
inherited more than just the Sight from the mysterious Reiko. When
Natsume and his friend Tanuma help a young woman find her way
through the woods, they end up having to take cover from a storm in
a mysterious mansion! The shelter comes at a cost though, and the
boys are cajoled into joining a séance to summon a yokai. But when
a sudden power outage disrupts the ritual, Natsume, Tanuma, and
Nyanko Sensei are faced with something far more strange than the
errant yokai they were expecting!
When a shiny idol is a sad mess in real life, can his number one

F/ACE. When work serendipitously sends her to the home of her idol,
she discovers that the real Tamon couldn’t be more different from
his wild and sexy onstage persona! Tamon is an insecure mess in
real life, and what’s worse, he’s threatening to quit! Utage
refuses to let anyone stand in Tamon’s way—least of all
himself. What’s a fangirl to do but roll up her sleeves and

This book covers the fundamental aspects of the electrochemistry
and redox enzymes that underlie enzymatic bioelectrocatalysis, in
which a redox enzyme reaction is coupled with an electrode
reaction. Described here are the basic concept and theoretical
aspects of bioelectrocatalysis and the various experimental
techniques and materials used to study and characterize related
problems. Also included are the various applications of
bioelectrocatalysis to bioelectrochemical devices including
biosensors, biofuel cells, and bioreactors. This book is a unique
source of information in the area of enzymatic bioelectrocatalysis,
approaching the subject from a cross-disciplinary point of view.
The growth rate of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the
Asia-Pacific region greatly surpasses the world average. When the
Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is better realized, then the
world's largest free trade zone will be firmly established. It
seems that this region has a very rosy outlook indeed; however,
this region also faces a large number of serious problems such as:
atomic energy in Japan, conflicts about East Asian regional
integration, the decline of the Japanese Official Development
Assistance (ODA), and the TPP's possible impact on the Japanese
universal health insurance system. We now face a possible
Sino-Japanese military conflict concerning the Senkaku Islands (or
Diaoyutai Islands). In short, the Asia-Pacific region has both a
rosy future and the potential influence from unstable and dangerous
elements at work within the region at present. The main purpose of
this book is to analyze historical development, whilst looking at
the contemporary situation of Japan from interdisciplinary
perspectives. This book asks three major questions: (1) Is this
really globalization? (2) What are Japan's relations with other
Asian countries? (3) Do U.S.-Japan relations still matter? Fourteen
leading scholars in their fields answer these questions from
interdisciplinary perspectives.
This book analyzes how women's bodies became a subject and object
of modern bio-power by examining the history of women's
reproductive health in Japan between the seventeenth century and
the mid-twentieth century. Yuki Terazawa combines Foucauldian
theory andfeminist ideas with in-depth historical research. She
argues that central to the rise of bio-power and the colonization
of people by this power was modern scientific taxonomies that
classify people into categories of gender, race, nationality,
class, age, disability, and disease. Whilediscussions of the roles
played by the modern state are of critical importance to this
project, significant attention is also paid to the increasing
influences of male obstetricians and the parts that trained
midwives and public health nurses played in the dissemination of
modern powerafter the 1868 Meiji Restoration.

and her family have finally taken revenge against the devil who

of the Dark Triad remains and it'll be up to Yuno to put an end to
this battle once and for all!
