BUZZ! by Ananth Hirsh

7/16/2025

0 Comments

 
Cover of Buzz! The word Buzz! is spelled out yellw on black with characters filling in the letters in different dramatic pozes.
Illustrated by Tess Stone

Step into the world of an underground Spelling Bee ring. Those with high spelling skills are monitored, sometimes followed. Webster, a high schooler who just wants to be left alone, gets recruited. The official battle provides more twists and turns, CIA style. Beware the secret Spelluminati. This is not your traditional spelling bee competition. Letters are weapons and can literally take out your opponent. Correct spelling is a matter of life and death.

The otaku love connection vol 1 by Chu Amairo

7/8/2025

0 Comments

 
Cover of The Otaku Love Connection volume 1. Kakoi and Kawai embrace as Otonari and another classmate hold up hearts around them.
Otonari has a perfect couple that he has decided to devote his time to. He "ships" them and has become more than a little obsessed with their every happiness, tracking their interactions, following their social media accounts, and watching their every move. This obsessive "otaku" sized fanboy crush wouldn't be so bad if they weren't both students at his school! This OTP, or one-true-pairing, is the overly gorgeous, perfect couple who are the prince and princess of his school, But Otonari isn't such a bad looking guy himself, and there's another Kakoi/Kawai stan to share in his joy who actually thinks the "best boy" is none other than Otonari himself -- but she'll never tell him that! Thus, the love connection is born from chains of stans pining after each other, one right after another.
