Belles Ruelles

Mushishi

Mushi are the most fundamental forms of life, existing since the dawn of creation. They are neither plants nor animals, neither good nor evil. They inhabit the shadows behind closed eyelids, the silence of deep forests, and the spaces between life and death. Most people cannot see them, but their influence shapes the world in ways both subtle and devastating. Ginko is a mushishi, a rare individual who can perceive these creatures. He travels from village to village, drawn by rumors of strange occurrences. With a calm demeanor and a sardonic smile, he investigates the mysterious afflictions and wonders that follow in the wake of the mushi. Each encounter brings him face to face with people

The Ancient Magus' Bride

Chise Hatori has spent her fifteen years unwanted and unloved. Abandoned by her father and orphaned by her mother, she has been passed between relatives who never wanted her, until desperation drives her to a slave auction.

In a vast, dim mansion live the Shadows, a family of faceless nobles whose bodies are pitch black and constantly emit soot.

As Emilico learns her duties, she and Kate begin to form a bond that goes beyond that of master and servant. But the mansion is full of locked doors and strict rules whose origin no one can explain. Administrators watch over the pairs from the upper floors, judging their every move for purposes that remain unclear. As the two grow closer, they s

Her routine changes when she meets Tohru, a dragon who can transform into a young woman and who insists on becoming her personal maid to repay a debt of gratitude. Tohru is devoted and eager to help, but her lack of understanding of human customs and her overwhelming powers turn everyday tasks into unpredictable situations. As they share a home, Kobayashi tries to keep her ordinary life on track while dealing with a dragon maid whose good intentions rarely go as planned.

Now she lives in a cramped, crumbling one-room apartment and must work to pay rent and cover her living expenses. Her goal is to gather more mystic gems to restore her original form and rebuild the Dark Realm, but she must first learn to navigate the everyday struggles of human life, from menial jobs to dealing with her landlord.
