Can I Kiss You Every Day?

Kurumi Hanazono lives under one roof with her father and her overprotective brother, Ataka.

A visit to the secret place they shared as children brings back a vivid memory of an innocent kiss exchanged before Nagio left town. Nagio turns up there too, and before Kurumi can make sense of the reunion, he kisses her and tells her he has always liked her, leaving her flustered and slowly drawn in despite herself.

Kamichama Karin

Karin Hanazono is an ordinary girl at best: she is terrible at sports, gets poor grades and has no friends. Her parents are dead, and the aunt who took her in resents having to look after her. Her only comfort was her cat Shii-chan, and now the animal has died, leaving her with little more than the ring her mother passed down to her. At her cat's grave she meets Kazune Kuujou, a brusque boy who says he is searching for God and mocks her for clinging to a dead pet. Hurt and angry, Karin pours that feeling into the ring without realizing it, and the jewel awakens a divine power inside her. Kazune has powers of his own, and it soon becomes clear that others want the ring too. To keep it out o

SPRIGGAN

Long before humanity rose to power, an alien civilization ruled the Earth and left behind artifacts of immense power. Once those relics are rediscovered, governments, paramilitary groups and private armed forces begin a secret race to claim them. The machines were a warning as much as a gift: weapons nobody should use again. Standing against that scramble is the ARCAM Corporation, the only organization committed to keeping the relics buried and out of reach. Its answer is a unit of elite operatives known as Spriggan, sent wherever a doomsday weapon surfaces. Among them is Ominae Yu, a brash teenage agent who wears ARCAM's most powerful experimental armor. Strong enough to face cyborgs and

From Betrayed Hero to Invincible Demon King

Humanity reviles him for his appearance alone, yet the hero still fights for the people who despise him, giving everything he has to protect them. His reward is betrayal: the humans he saved cast him out and turn their backs on everything he did for them. With nothing left tying him to their world, he abandons humanity and makes his way to the demon realm, where he finds for the first time the warmth and acceptance he was always denied. Moved by the demons who take him in, he decides to fight at their side and help them build a paradise of their own. Armed with the strongest power a god ever granted, he turns against the humans who discarded him and becomes something far more fearsome than

Kono Kyoushi, Zettai Wazato.

Mio Saeki is beautiful, composed and looks every bit the proper young lady her classmates take her for. That image lasts only until she steps into the Japanese language prep room, where she slouches, chews on dried squid sticks and talks about horse racing with the enthusiasm of an old man. Only one person has seen through her: Shirokawa, her teacher. He knows exactly how she behaves when nobody else is watching, and he never misses a chance to tease her about it in his own slightly sadistic way. Far from driving her away, his needling makes her comfortable enough to keep seeking him out. The trouble is that what began as a comfortable habit of hanging around her teacher slowly turns into

The Martial Genius Who Remembers Everything

When he awakens thirty years in the past, just before the return of the Demonic Cult, it seems like a chance to rewrite what is coming. But that is where the divine intervention ends. He has no innate talent for martial arts, no legendary master to train him, and only a small, powerless sect to call home. The knowledge of the future he carries is his sole advantage, and it may not be enough against what awaits him. To change the course of fate, So-un must find a way to grow strong enough to face the coming storm, armed with his memory and little else.

Sneeze: Naoki Urasawa Story Collection

Ordinary people confront the extraordinary in a collection of eight short stories and essays. Psychic powers surface, alien visitors arrive on Earth, and giant monsters attack, pushing characters into situations beyond their control.

Seonghoon Kang has worked for years as the cook's helper at Jewelria, a third-rate hotel. The long hours and the low rank have worn down his confidence, and his self-esteem now sits even lower than his place in the kitchen hierarchy.

That gift sets him apart from everyone else in the kitchen, though none of them know it. Whether that is enough is another matter. A professional kitchen scorches the meek, and Seonghoon has to face the pressure of the work, the struggles of the life around him and his own doubts, or step out of the kitc

Little Forest

Ichiko is a young woman who lives alone near Komori, a small village whose name means little forest. Far from the noise of the city, she spends her days gathering what the woods and mountains offer her and tending the fields she cultivates herself. Each chapter follows a single dish, from the moment its ingredients are foraged, harvested or preserved to the moment they reach her table. Behind every meal there is a season, a walk, a fire to light and a patience that cannot be rushed. That is also where the difficulty lies: the forest yields only in its own time, and living off it means accepting its rhythms, its waits and its silences, with the village and the woods as her only company.

Paranoia Star

Paranoia Star gathers seven short stories by Suehiro Maruo, a collection in which conventional plots matter far less than the states of mind the pages describe. The pieces move through abnormal, hallucinatory territories and are steeped in a pervasive surrealism, so that what happens on the page often resists any simple summary. Across the seven stories, the mind under strain becomes the real subject: perception breaks down and the line between the imagined and the real stops being reliable. The collection draws on the art and culture of 1920s and 1930s Japan and Germany, the imagery that shaped the author's own artistic style, and lets that imagery drift into horror. Each story stands on

A high school student has lost his place at home ever since his mother remarried, and the family restaurant he stops at after school has become the only place where he feels at ease.

Ichyeojin Deulpan

Thalia Roem Gürta is the ill-fated princess born of an affair.

Yet even she becomes defenseless in the presence of one person: Varkas Raedgo Sheerkan, Prince of the East. Forced to be perfect as a retainer of the imperial court and heir to the Grand Duke, Varkas grew up with his emotions numbed under a discipline bordering on abuse, existing solely for the honor and duty of his family. To keep a promise made to the late Empress, he enters into a marriage with Thalia's half-sister, Ayla. Engulfed in despair, Thalia slowl

These Two Will Be Married In 100 Days

A couple has decided to marry, and the wedding is set for a date exactly one hundred days away. From that starting point, each chapter marks a single day of the countdown, following the two of them as they live out the wait knowing the ceremony is getting closer with every entry. The series moves in short, self-contained scenes rather than a long plot. Everyday moments between the two — conversations, small routines, the ordinary business of sharing a life — carry each day, and the comedy comes from how they handle the situation they have chosen for themselves.

There is so much to explore, and the food alone is enough to make him drool.

As Grace draws the eyes of the male leads, Selonia is left to wonder why the extra appeared, what the returning enemy wants, and where a heroine with no story left to follow can stand.

Shirahime-Syo

Legend has it that when snow falls, it is because the snow princess is crying. Shirahime-Syo gathers five tragic tales bound together by that snow, each one a separate story of loss set in a traditional Japanese landscape. The tales stand on their own, yet the falling snow links them all, appearing when grief is heaviest and the people caught in it can no longer hold back what they feel. Behind every snowfall lies the same question: what sorrow moves the snow princess to tears, and what does the white covering the world hide? Told through watercolors and gentle brushwork, the collection draws on traditional Japanese forms of storytelling to trace the bond between the snow, the princess sai
