Cover of Assassination Classroom vol 2. Koro-sensei's smile is wide across a green and yellow backdrop
Nagisa continues to document Koro-sensei’s weaknesses, and another one comes in the form of the curvy new English teacher, Ms. Irina Jelavitch, who is actually also a trained assassin! She uses her feminine wiles to get close and trap Koro-sensei, which also includes extorting Nagisa for the intel he has already gathered. When her initial plans fail, Ms. Vitch must endear herself to the students to earn her spot among Class 3-E. Then, it’s time to prepare for the Midterm, and Koro-sensei isn’t about to let his pupils think less of themselves, even if the whole school is against them. Afterwards, the whole school goes on a trip to Kyoto, which might be the perfect time to plot an assassination attempt via snipers.

Picture
Adapted by Jun Yokoyama

Mysteriously one day, a layer of circular space ships appeared in Earth’s atmosphere but did little else to impact the day to day life on the planet. After the initial shock, humans went about their business, until one day, the little ships started sending down their inhabitants. The elderly people, termed progenitors, needed a place to go and people to care for them. With a promise of a government subsidy, many families took in one or more progenitors. The government was sure they would, in exchange, receive technological advances from these wizened older humanoids. Zhihan, meanwhile, was untrusting and disgruntled, just as her grandma was at first. With few resources for her family, how could she expect to keep another mouth fed?

Cover of Canary. Three golden six-shooter pistols are crossed on top of each other. Behind them are faces of people, including Mabel Holt, and a skull.
Illustrated by Dan Panosian, lettered by Richard Starkings

Set in Wild West of Utah, Sheriff Azrael William Holt is a legendary figure thanks to exploits that have been popularized in Dime novels, but the fictionalized accounts and horror stories may be closer to reality than the public may believe. In his latest case, Holt is assigned to protect Dr. Ed, a geologist, as he investigates a collapsed copper mine outside the town of Canary. Holt and Dr. Ed get some assistance from Mabel, the town’s saloon maiden and daughter of Canary’s founder. The town and mine have had a string of supernatural occurrences surrounding it, and Dr. Ed theorizes it may have something to do with Canary's water.

one more step, come stand by my side by toryumon takeda

Cover of One More Step, Come Stand by my Side. A young princess is in a long white dress and orange vest. Her red hair cascades down her back. She's looking over her shoulder and her mouth is open like she is about to speak to us. The rest of the cover background is solid red.
In this collection of short stories, Takeda explores love and humanity in some non-traditional ways. In the first story, a young princess is captired and blindfolded and forced to sign treaties or make other deals that syphon away her power. the only person who shows her kindness during her captivity is a man with no pinky. During the three months of captivity, she can feel herself falling in love. In another story, a woman comes face to face with her stalker and has an honest conversation with him while they wait for the police. Another story with a historical setting focused on an emperor on his wedding night where he became entangled with an empress-assassin, and how they both found happiness in the end. In another story, explorers think they've found a "treasure" in the jungle, but it's a delicious new fruit instead of gold. But not understanding the native language costs them dearly. A short interlude piece spanning only a few pages focused on a vending machine and the apocalypse. In yet another story, a wife who is dying of cancer makes a difficult choice for her husband so that he might live on easier without her once she's gone.
