firefly wedding vol 1 by Oreco Tachibana

5/11/2025

0 Comments

 
Cover of Firefly Wedding volume 1. Sakoto and Shinpei are locked in an intense embrace and covered in blood.
Noblewoman Satoko wants to bring honor to her family, especially her father, before her fatal heart condition destroys her. The best way she can do that is to enter into a prosperous marriage. But, before her arrangements can be finalized, she is kidnapped and threatened most heinously by her captors. A crazed assassin threatens to kill any man who lays hand on her, so Satoko barters with the only valuable thing she has -- her family name. She promises to marry the assassin if he delivers her from the clutches of her captors and pretends to be madly in love with the deranged man. Both seem determined to call the other on the bluff -- one in order to kill, the other in order to survive.

Tokyo ghoul vol 1 by sui ishida

5/10/2025

Cover of Tokyo Ghoul volume 1. Ken Kaneki is sitting in a chair with his one ghoul eye exposed, shining red. He's smiling devilishly.
Ken Kaneki is a reserved, bookish college student with a sweet crush on a fellow customer in a coffee shop. When he finally gets up the courage to ask her out on a date, things go well until she reveals she’s a ghoul, hungry for Kaneki. But her attack goes awry, leaving both in critical condition. The doctors decide to use her organs to save Kaneki’s life, but in doing so, they damn him to a half human, half ghoul existence, constantly hungry for human flesh and unable to consume any of the foods that once brought him joy. Kaneki tries to slip back into his human life, but his unceasing hunger threatens to expose him.
