Black Night Parade GN Vol 1 - Hikaru Nakamura

A slightly creepy Christmas comedy by the acclaimed creator of Saint Young Men that inspired a live-action film! Hino Miharu spends Christmas the same way every year, working alone at a dead-end part-time job at a convenience store. He'd do just about anything to land a full-time gig, but when he runs into a shadowy Santa Claus dressed all in black, he has no idea he's encountered the real deal. Well, almost. While the normal Santa Claus who dresses in red and white oversees Christmas for all the good boys and girls, his dark counterpart is in charge of handling the bad children-and Miharu just wound up on the naughty list. Gobbled up by a slavering, talking sack, he's spirited away to the Arctic, where he finds himself the newest employee of a massive Christmas operation. Yeah, the pay and benefits are great, and his coworkers sure are cute, but is this the dream job he's been hoping for, or the beginning of a Christmas nightmare?

Duel GN - Jessixa Bagley & Aaron Bagley

Sixth grader Lucy loves fantasy novels and is brand-new to middle school. GiGi is the undisputed queen bee of eighth grade (as well as everything else she does). They've only got one thing in common: fencing. Oh, and they're sisters. They never got along super well, but ever since their dad died, it seems like they're always at each other's throats. When GiGi humiliates Lucy in the cafeteria on the first day of school, Lucy snaps and challenges GiGi to a duel with high sisterly stakes. If GiGi wins, Lucy promises to stay out of GiGi's way; if Lucy wins, GiGi will stop teasing Lucy for good. But after their scene in the cafeteria, both girls are on thin ice with the principal and their mom. Lucy stopped practicing fencing after their fencer dad died and will have to get back to fighting form in secret or she'll be in big trouble. And GiGi must behave perfectly or risk getting kicked off the fencing team. As the clock ticks down to the girls' fencing bout, the anticipation grows. Their school is divided into GiGi and Lucy factions, complete with t-shirts declaring kids' allegiances. Both sisters are determined to triumph. But will winning the duel mean fracturing their family even further?

Ghostlore TP Vol 1 - Cullen Bunn, Leomacs & Reiko Murakami

What ghost stories do ghosts tell, and what can they tell us about ourselves?

An estranged daughter and her father wander a haunted land; they only have the restless spirits, each with its own story to tell, as company along the way.

After a deadly accident of which they are the only survivors, Lucas and Harmony Agate can see the dead-an overwhelming amount of the deceased, all with their own warnings, cries for help, and malevolence alike.

But Lucas and Harmony aren't the only ones with this ability; there are other nearly-deads, some of which have malicious motivations...

Good Girls Go To Hell GN - Tohar Sherman-Friedman

From political protests to personal struggles with school, body image, and relationships with family and friends, Tohar Sherman-Friedman's life is an inspiring story of conflicting convictions, rebellion, and personal growth. Tohar recounts her experience as the youngest of seven children in a conservative Jewish family, navigating a life buffeted by high expectations for school performance and religious adherence at home and tense conflict in the world outside. With utter sincerity and through detailed panel-style drawing, she relates what it's like to be on a journey that ultimately takes her far from how she was taught to think and what she was expected to believe. A coming-of-age graphic memoir set in the West Bank, Good Girls Go to Hell depicts the reality of growing up in a region split by religious tensions-and sometimes violent conflict.

I Am Only A Foreigner Because You Do Not Understand GN - L. Nichols

Some books take the whole of a lifetime to write. I Am Only a Foreigner Because You Do Not Understand continues Flocks, L. Nichols's graphic memoir of growing up trans in the rural South. These comics document L.'s further transition, from living as a man to walking the middle path, facing depression, disease, divorce and death. Healing leaves scars, things fall apart, and pronouns change until there is no I, there is only us.

I Did It! SC - Michael Emberley

Learning to ride a bike is hard. Can I do it? Yes, I can! A fun comic that kindergarteners and first graders can read on their own. Can I do it? I can't do it. I want to do it. I did it! Simple text that new readers can read by themselves, along with delightful pictures in a comic format, show a little creature trying and trying again as they learn to ride a bicycle. All their friends help with supportive words of encouragement. "You did it!" their friends exclaim.

Keeper Of The Lost Cities GN Vol 1 Part 1 - Shannon Messenger, Celina Frenn & Gabriella Chianello

Twelve-year-old Sophie Foster has never quite fit into her life. She's skipped multiple grades and doesn't really connect with the older kids at school, but she's not comfortable with her family, either. The reason? Sophie's a Telepath, someone who can read minds. No one knows her secret-at least, that's what she thinks... But the day Sophie meets Fitz, a mysterious (and adorable) boy, she learns she's not alone. He's a Telepath too, and it turns out the reason she has never felt at home is that, well... she isn't. Fitz opens Sophie's eyes to a shocking truth, and she is forced to leave behind her family for a new life in a place that is vastly different from what she has ever known.

The Lesbian Experience With Loneliness HC - Kabi Nagata

A beautiful hardcover rerelease of the critically acclaimed manga that won the Harvey Award, with a new cover and bonus chapter. My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness is a raw and heartfelt account of one young woman's struggles with her sexuality, mental well-being, and feelings of alienation in our modern age. Told using expressive artwork that invokes both laughter and tears, this intensely personal and insightful work was previously released in a single volume paperback edition. This hardcover special edition features new cover art and an all-new bonus chapter by the author.

My Pancreas Broke But My Life Got Better GN - Kabi Nagata

The latest diary manga from the Harvey Award-winning creator of My Lesbian Experience With Loneliness and My Wandering Warrior Existence. In this new autobiographical manga, Nagata Kabi has quit drinking in an attempt to get healthier-or she's trying to, anyway. Her former struggles with alcohol led to pancreatitis and a serious hospitalization, and now she has no choice but to give up drinking. Follow the author as she details the quest to improve her health during a global pandemic.

The Nightcrawlers HC Vol 1 - Marco Lopez & Rachel Distler

When things go bump in the night, they bump back.

If you think aliens replaced your teachers or your neighbor might be a vampire, then there's only one group to call for help: The Nightcrawlers.

The Nightcrawlers take on their first case when a friend from school believes werewolves replaced his parents. They get more than they bargained for when their investigation leads them right in the middle of a confrontation between their caretaker William Jones and a former Nightcrawler out for revenge. This story is about the unlikeliest group of friends coming together to help others...with a spooky twist!

Office Gods GN - Catharina Octorina & Hiikariin

Gods, demigods, and true romance? Office Gods, based on the hit webcomic, is an addictive rom-com set in the corporate HQ of the Olympians themselves! Iris, a young human woman, is swept into the world of divine bureaucracy when she's recruited to work in the office of the gods, in the department of Hermes. The gods and goddesses may be beautiful beyond human comprehension, but she quickly learns that they're every bit as petty and quarrelsome as they were thousands of years ago. Can she survive Eros' antics, Aphrodite's temper, and getting caught between a love triangle with the demigod sons of Athena and Hades?

On The Way GN - Paco Hernandez & Jose Angel Ares

Emma, a newly single cartoonist in her thirties, impulsively finds herself standing in Roncesvalles with her gaze fixed on Santiago de Compostela. Following the pilgrimage route known as The Way of St. James, she realizes the path she is traveling is bringing her closer to and somehow farther away from everyone around her, that the weight of her backpack is more than the clothes and pans inside, and that what she believed to be a simple walk to get some miles behind her (and her past) is a chance to learn not only about the people she meets along the way, but also herself.

Osamu Tezuka's One Hundred Tales GN - Osamu Tezuka

One Hundred Tales is a story about being careful what you wish for. Ichirui Hanri is an ordinary accountant serving his master. Though innocent, he is ordered to commit hara-kiri after being entangled in some trouble in his master's house. Just then, a witch named Sudama appears. She signs a contract with Hanri to obtain his soul in exchange for fulfilling three of his wishes. Hanri gets what he wants...but the price he pays is too high.

An enchanting supernatural fable from Osamu Tezuka, known worldwide as the "Godfather of Manga" and the most influential person of the past century in the development of Japanese manga and anime.

Skip GN - Sarah Burgess

Jay is always scribbling poetry in their notebook. When they come across Skip, a Double Dutch team, they befriend the members-and decide to join, too. For the first time ever, Jay has a place to belong-and friends to confide in. But Jay's friendship with their new bestie Beah is intense, both in and out of Double Dutch. As Beah and Jay help each other grow into the people they will become, it challenges their friendship and their own identities. This charming "slice of life" graphic novel is about accepting yourself, navigating "first love" friendship, and finding your own voice. It's rendered in debut author-illustrator Sarah Burgess's gorgeous art style ribboned with playful humor and sports drama.

Soleil: Illustration Lookbook GN - TANAKA

The illustrator Tanaka's second art book is finally out! This illustration collection is based on the concept of the Look Book. Designed and bound like a fashion magazine, this book stylishly showcases Tanaka's characteristic fashion-focused worldview.

This special collection is full of cute and pop dress collections for boys and girls, covering all styles from classic to street attire.

The Tale Of Princess Kaguya Picture Book HC - Isao Takahata

"Why did she choose to come to earth? Why did she long for this world? An old bamboo cutter and his wife find a tiny girl inside a bamboo shoot and raise her. The mysterious little princess grows rapidly into a young lady, enthralling all who encounter her-but ultimately, she must face her fate and be punished for her crime."

The Cliff GN - Manon Debaye & Montana Kane

Schoolyard outcasts Charlie and Astrid meet up after school near a cliff at the edge of the woods surrounding their sleepy town. They make a blood pact to jump together in five days time, before their thirteenth birthdays. With a deft use of colored pencils, Debaye captures childhood's last pivotal moments as it teeters on the edge of adolescence with startling honesty in this devastatingly well-crafted debut.

Virgin Love GN Vol 1 - Tina Yamashina

Six strangers, one house, one shared goal: love. What could go wrong? "Looking for love, but afraid you'll never find it?" Come Live at the Love House! Shoko Shoji, intelligent, reliable, beautiful, has a secret: she's a 26-year-old virgin, and mortified by her non-existent love life. Every day she checks out the self-help and beauty section of her local bookstore, but never works up the courage to go any further. Pushed on by her friends, she moves into the Love House, a social experiment putting six lovelorn strangers under one roof to see what sparks may fly! Will Shoko, and the friendly bookstore clerk she convinces to join her, finally find love? Or will rivalry, lust, and lies bring it all crashing down?

When he heard the voices from above go silent, Ren's blood chilled. No. They had to be okay. He charged ahead with the rest of them, dashing down the last long hallway to the main door. With a swift kick, the door was broken down as the boys piled in. Ren paused to observe the situation so that they could work out the best steps. Where were the girls, who was in the most danger, and what could be done to—

"Haru!"

Yosuke went springing to action, running full speed at what Ren could only assume was Sugimura's true form. He seemed to be dragging Haru into his blob. "Get the others!" Ren called to the other boys, knowing that Ann and Makoto were somewhere in that mess of Haru clones. He took off running towards Sugimura, knowing that Yosuke would only get sucked in, too.

"Let her go, you bastard!"

Yosuke had grabbed Haru's hands and was trying to yank her free. He didn't care what happened to him here — if he could just save Haru.

But it was no use as she continued to be swallowed up until only the top half of her face was visible. Her eyes showed her panic as Yosuke pulled and pulled, desperation worsening. Ren had called forth Arsene to deliver attacks towards Sugimura's laughing form but they didn't have time. He needed backup! But the girls needed help, too!

"Mona!" He figured Ryuji and Yusuke were stronger as a duo than taking either of them away from the task. Mona turned to rush over just as Haru's eyes began to turn blue the suffocation setting in.

"No!" Yosuke screamed, about to throw himself into the mass with her when he was suddenly stopped by a searing pain that shot through his head. It was unlike anything he'd ever experienced before as someone began to speak in his mind.

"No need for such haste, young warrior. My strength is yours should you wish to take it. Call forth that power and unleash your potential. Let us forge a contract. I am thou, thou art I... Show them that you are a true hero!"

A retro visor appeared over his eyes and he somehow knew what to do. That this was his persona. He knew its name, too. He ripped his visor off, causing blood to trickle down his face as he called forth his new companion.

"Let's do this, Jiraiya!"

With a burst of blinding orange light, a retro ninja-looking creature emerged, floating all above him. Yosuke felt power course through him that he never felt before. He jumped to action, using Jiraiya to slash at Sugimura enough to get Haru free. "Get him outta here!" He ordered and Jiraiya obeyed, sending Sugimura crashing through his own glass window like he'd done to them.

"Haru!" Yosuke laid her down, kneeling next to her. She was a unhealthy-looking color. Fuck, fuck, was she breathing?! He checked her over and it didn't seem like it. Yosuke just acted, leaning down and proceeding with CPR. He'd be trained for it while working at Junes but fuck. His heart was beating so fast. What if he lost her? No, he couldn't think like that.

As he proceeded through all the steps in the right order, the others had gotten free of the Haru clones who had weakened due to Sugimura's temporary absence. Other shadows tried to attack but Ren was guarding Yosuke and Haru, fighting off any that tried to get anywhere close. His heart was also racing. He called to Oracle as the others rushed to him.

"Oracle, get us out of here!"

They had to get Haru out.

"--Johanna!" Makoto hopped onto her Persona and swung it around in a spin, knocking into some of the Haru clones to help thin the oncoming horde. Ann worked with Carmen to pick off those that dodged Makoto, whereas Haru challenged Sugimura directly.

"I've fought you before and I can do it again!" she declared, swinging her axe. "Milady!"

Her Persona appeared and with a flourish, fired off her not-so-hidden machine guns to help further call the oncoming wave of fake Harus. But --

"They're combining!" Ann yelled a word of warning before being overwhelmed herself, screaming as grotesque messes of flesh and limbs grabbed at and swarmed her.

"Panther!" Makoto hopped off of her bike to try and fight her way towards Ann, diving head-first into the mess. Whether or not she was successful remained to be seen, however, as they were enclosed in the globby, shrieking masses of flesh.

Haru tried -- she really tried to focus on Sugimura alone. She was doing well against him! But hearing Ann and Makoto's voices suddenly go silent made her break her focus.

"Milady! Help them!" she ordered, only for Sugimura to grin.

"Got you!" he cackled. Additional limbs sprouted from his body, one of them sweeping her legs out from under her; as she fell, another yanked away her axe and threw it aside, while the others began to drag her close to him -- and into his suddenly doughy, absorbent form. Haru screamed and thrashed, trying to pull free.

"You women go on and on about girl power and friendship and shit, but it's always a weakness," Sugimura laughed triumphantly. "Once a damsel, always a damsel I say! Now embrace your husband and suffocate!"

Ninja Shadow Spin-off: Back to the Beginning

As the game is approaching its premature end, we were offered a spin-off that shows the Nagasaki’s beginnings, which I have been waiting for. Now I see the reason why Miyabi’s Main Story was necessary to be released - it’s to show the establishment of the Nagasaki Vigilantes.

But there is one thing, one thing I’m aiming for in this spin-off event...

When I saw this, I knew THAT SCENE have to show up.

Here’s my first man, Kagura! *fangirls*

Did you know how long I have waited for a spin-off like this!? Spin-off events that show stories of the past are every players dream. Just like ‘Behind Secret Eyes’ Spin-off events - that was a series of good Spin-off events. I finally get to see the very scene unfold right before my eyes.

Yet, such a spin-off event could only appear when the game is ending. Just like the spin-off that appeared in Blood in Roses that shows the history before the routes.

I was low-key hoping they at least continue making routes for the rest of the unreleased guys before they stopped the game. I don’t need the events, I just want the other guys’ Main Stories!

(here I am, already at the bargaining stage, wishing for the game to go on a little longer...)

Early bird CG reward for completing the spin-off event.

Note

idk if this meant a characters meet b characters but I’m assuming it didn’t so here’s my take:

-either akiren or akechi as the green ninja (as much as I dislike him, akechi fits the role of temporarily bad + fighting evil ‘father’)

-ryuji as the master of lighting (his specialty is electric attacks and he’s the loud, overconfident, talkative one, kinda like jay)

-yusuke as the master of ice (same type of reason as ryuji and he’s mostly kind of serious and misunderstands phrases and slang sometimes like Zane)

-Ann as the master of fire (same as the first two+ she’s often a hothead but she strongly defends what she believes in like Kai)

-futaba would be like pixal (she does most of the researching, usually doesn’t engage in battle, but sometimes provides support when needed)

-master of earth is kind of like ehh bc if akechi is the green ninja, I would say akiren is earth, since he’s kind of like the glue/rock of the team, and he often leads. But if akiren’s the green ninja, I’d say makoto. She’s not nearly as much of a rock as akiren, but she definitely is like a second command of sorts (if I remember right lol) and she knows when to be serious.

-TECHNICALLY. the master of wind is NOT in the main 6 BUT Morgana specializes in wind attacks so might as well yk. Ther really aren’t too many parallels between him and morro that I can think of though so I’m like not sure

-I have NO idea who to put for the master of water but if we neeed to fill the role I guess haru bc idk where else to put her 😭 also I guess you can say she’s flexible and adapts well, which are desired traits for a water ninja

—————

NOW THE OTHER WAY AROUND

-Lloyd is the wild card/ fool arcana

-SENSEI garmadon would have the emperor arcana (and maybe misako would have empress)

-wu as the hierophant

-Cole could be chariot or sun (phys + gun attacks)

-Zane as hermit perhaps (ice !!)

-I feel like harumi could be reverse death with the whole resurrection thing and how she was salty ab her parents (probably psy, curse)

-morro would be the devil. (psy and wind attacks FS.)

-Kai would either be tower (“destructive and creative force”, and his past obsession with being the green ninja) or, considering the parallels between him and morro, the reverse devil. BUT he could also be magician because of how much he helps Lloyd and his personality + his ‘need for fulfillment’ (fire attacks)

-I feel like nya could be moon bc of her whole thing with becoming the water ninja (she thought she couldn’t and didn’t want to but she knew she had to bc she had to save her brother(s) ) - maybe nuclear or bless?? idk

-yikes I did not know what to give Jay but I do think he could be the lovers arcana (electric attacks ‼️)

-pixal’s their navigator

I think it would be a cool concept if they found Kai’s shadow one time, and later they came across morro who had a palace and Kai realizes how close he was to turning bad and hurting himself and all his friends like morro had done

GODDDD SEASON 5 URHGHGGHHHH

Stargazing (Makoto x MC)

(I’m back! :D)

The sun was setting with lovely hues of violets. It was so beautiful Saori wondered about painting the scene, but she was no master of the arts like Makoto. Saori did like painting to occupy her time if everyone else was busy or if she wasn’t working at the Meiko Salon.

She held onto Makoto’s hand as they walked through the bustling streets of Nagasaki. Even though Saori had been in the city for a while, she still never got used to it. That wasn’t to say she preferred it over her village. They both had a special place in her heart.

However, she wondered how she got into this position. He had found her training in Shintaro’s dojo, and Saori didn’t expect Makoto of all people to pull her away from training. But here she was, letting herself be whisked away by him.

He hadn’t told her where he was taking her or what his plans were but, truth be told, Saori liked being with him too much to worry.

Makoto lead her farther away from the city where she glanced around, seeing a nearby hill. He scanned the area before deciding on something.

He let go of her hand and scaled the small hill before reaching for Saori’s hand.

“I can climb – oh, thank you.” She mutters, letting him help her up.

He smiles one of his rare smiles at Saori. “You’re welcome.” He sat down and offered her his hand.

She gave him her hand and let his bigger hand wrap around hers before he gently pulled her down onto the soft grass.

“Why did you bring me here?” She asked before she looked up at the sky.

It had darkened into a dark blue. There were so man stars above, and more coming. Saori couldn’t help but marvel at it, the hill keeping the trees from blocking too much of the view.

He smiled again, looking at her.

“It’s beautiful.”

“I’m glad you like it. You’ve been working hard and I remembered how you used to look at the stars with Kaname.”

Saori nodded, remembering how many nights the pair of twins looked at the stars.

Makoto smiled but this time she couldn’t admire it because he tilts his head to kiss her. His hands come up, sliding into her hair, and Saori wraps her arms around his neck to deepen the kiss.

Things I wish were more present in SWD?: Ninja Shadow (PART 1)

So this is just a word blurb from me just spewing out my thoughts. Some of it may not make sense, but I'll try to keep my thoughts as concise as possible.

Topic: More Sibling Interactions (especially b/w Makoto and Toru)

We kinda got this b/w Saori (MC) and her brother Kaname in that one Spin Off where either they go to the Nagasaki Vigilantes together or you pick the other story route (I can't remember the contents of that storyline, but I remember it being cute).

I thought it was really cute and nice seeing their sibling relationship.

I just wish we got spin offs like for the other siblings in this game (Seiji-Seiya, Kunihiro-Nobuyoshi, Kaede-Amon, Yugiri and Ritsu with their unnamed younger siblings, the puppeteer brothers, even Ukyo-Eduard who are more like adoptive siblings). They didn't need to be non-canon, they could've been anecdotal stories from their pasts.

I know it's meant to be an otome game, but getting more character back story would have been so cool.

I especially wanted to see more sibling interactions b/w Makoto and Toru. They are a main pair of siblings in the series, so I wish we could've seen them more, specifically without Saori being there (because yeah, it is an otome game).

Toru is shown to love his little brother very dearly. It's one of his major reasons for trying to "destroy Nagasaki and build it back up". Because it's "the city Makoto loves". His dream also spreads to completely reconstructing Japan, but his main focal point is Nagasaki because that's where his baby brother is.

Makoto does love his big brother too, but he has resentment toward him as well. Toru has always been better than him at everything, Toru has always been the golden child of the Nakagawa family. Now even then at most Makoto was just a bit envious.

The real resentment begins when Toru just up and leaves one day leaving Makoto to clean up after his mess.

Now, I say he just leaves out of the blue because while in the early original routes, Toru was said to be a founding member of the Nagasaki Vigilantes, however, in one of the later canon spin offs called Back to the Beginning, which I'll consider to be the actual storyline, Makoto says that Toru just kinda disappeared one day without any warning and without telling Makoto or Shintaro anything.

I guess Toru just had an epiphany about his ideals. I don't really know and I'm not sure/don't remember if it's explained anymore. I honestly don't know lol

Anyways, that's where Makoto actually seems to gain resentment towards his brother, because when Toru leaves Makoto has to take care of stuff Toru left behind. And of course the Nakagawa family, specifically the branch family, love to beat down and berate Makoto because he was the "lesser" brother. Literally calling him the stain to the Nakagawa name (which, holy shit, is really fucking mean and evil, holy cow).

If I remember right, Makoto didn't even want to really take up becoming the next head of the family, he just wanted to become painter, but because Toru left now he has to, which I think is really sad, poor Makoto.

As for what happens to Toru, depending on the route he's either captured and then escapes (usually with the help of his pal Tsubaki) or he's just captured, or he turns into a traveling merchant(?) (I honestly can't remember everything that happens in his route, I think he becomes a merchant though).

And if he and Makoto aren't really involved in the route, ig he just kinda dilly-dallies and runs around doing whatever.

I think it would have been interesting if we were able to get a spin off where Toru and Makoto have a deep and meaningful conversation about why they chose the choices they did, how they were feeling, how they felt about each other's choices and decisions. It would be a very emotional and vulnerable moment for the two, especially Makoto who tends to hide his true emotions. I think it would've been interesting to see Makoto open up more to Toru about how the Nakagawa elders treated him, obviously Toru generally gets the idea, but Makoto could tell him in detail and how that made him feel.

I wish we could've had an emotional spin off like that. Though I might be biased sense I find the sibling dynamic of the two to be most interesting out of everyone's.

Like I said Toru loves Makoto so much to the point that he would cause some hurt and pain to his baby brother to keep him safe. He even tries multiple times to get Makoto to join him in his rebellion and becomes quite hurt when Makoto doesn't take up his offer. I mean just look at this bit of text from the Ninja Shadow Tropedia/wikia page
