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.

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.

Cover of Creepy Cat volume 1. Flora is standing in a victorian style living room with Creepy Cat in her arms. Creepy Cat is also sitting on the lush arm chair behind her, and below the chair, and peeking out from behind furniture around her.
Flora is a mysterious girl with a penchant for painting who inherits a macabre mansion in a likewise eerie town. Unbeknownst to her, her new residence also comes with a creepy cat that can multiply infinitely, see ghosts, travel to other dimensions, and converse with otherworldly creatures. Even though she is at first frightened by the cat, Flora begins to love the cat and becomes distressed when the cat goes missing. The local police officer, Oscar, who is rather sweet on Flora, takes opportunities to try to help Flora with the many situations Creepy Cat gets her into, though Flora doesn't always appreciate Oscar's advances.

Cover of Daemons of the Shadow Realm volume 2. Asa has her hand outstretched like she's going to fight someone. Two of her Kagemori clanmates are behind her ready to give backup.
Yuru and his daemon pair have confronted the Kagemori clan in the hopes of getting some answers about the attack on his village and what’s going on with his twin sister, Asa. After a fight that more or less ends in a stalemate, Yuru agrees to come back to the Kagemori compound even though it might be a trap. No sooner do they arrive than strange daemons begin to attack everyone and attempt to capture both Yuru and Asa! But these daemons don't belong to the Kagemori clan, so Yuru and the Kagemoris team up to try to protect everyone from these interfering forces.

Alice in borderland vol 2 by haro aso

Cover of Alice in Borderland volume 2. The cover is styled like a playing card with the number 2 in opposite corners and two characters faces mirroring each other opposite the title across the center of the book.
Arisu and his team have survived several games, but there’s little time to rest. Chota and Shibuki only have one day left on their visas for Borderland, so they must play another game soon and extend their time. Shibuki reveals that the cards corresponding to the games not only reveal the difficulty level but also tell of the type of game they’ll be playing, and that hearts are the worst of all because they prey on people’s emotions. With little time to find another arena, the four enter the only game arena they found and are crushed to discover the game is a Seven of Hearts. Towards the end of the game, Harube tells Arisu to find “The Beach”, a clue he was given in the previous game. Arisu reunites with Usagi, also from the previous game, to figure out what kind of help may lie at The Beach.
