Vol 2: The Sharing Society
​
Klaus has been kidnapped by the outlaws known as the Demon Bandits and taken back to his kingdom of Alter. Cast and Mrs. Clock have decided to rescue him, even though that means coming face to face with the deadly and powerful forces from Mrs. Clock’s past as a participant in the war that ravaged the country. Cast and her mentor find themselves in a castle town full of infuriating villagers who bend to the will of a tyrannical ruler, but some of these confusing people might be the only hope they have for saving Klaus.

Yellow stringer vol 1 by Goeffrey Jean-Louis and Frederick L. Jones

10/10/2022

0 Comments

 
Cover of Yellow Stringer volume 1. Naomi and Tony are standing, looking at us, with their chins in their hands. Both are wearing tan suits and tan hats. The background behind them is solid yellow.
Naomi graduated top of her class from Columbia, and could be reporting for any prestigious paper she wants. But, she has good reason to believe monsters are real, which led her into a career writing for the Yellow Stringer, a paper with a reputation for being a gossip rag with outlandish tall tales. Her new partner is Tony, an ex-cop who is looking for a steady job. Their first assignment is to investigate a potential theft at the local museum. Neither fully expected to find zombies involved! A few other cases come their way that shed light on Tony’s past. A bartender provides Naomi a place to recuperate after a terrible date, and the two end up getting tangled in a terribly-planned revenge plot against Naomi.

Saigami vol 1 by seny

Cover of Saigami volume 1. Ayumi is in the middle of throwing a fireball at us. Her hands are covered in flames. She's wearing a green shirt with a brown long sleeve underneath, jean shorts, and black leggings under that. Her blonde hair is tied back in a ponytail.
Ayumi has a troubled home life - her dad left long ago and her mom neglects her in favor of alcohol. When she receives a letter from her dad about meeting one night, she jumps at the chance to find out why he left. Instead, she finds herself transported to a magical fantasy world with dragons and astral sorcerers known as Saigami. She immediately meets Sean, a noble-born from the Zenosa Clan of dragon-rearers who is also a Saigami. Along with Sean’s friend Reyji, the three travel to Zaosz, the capital and seat of The Saigami Order, hoping to find some answers about how she came into this world. Along the way, Ayumi discovers she has the power of a Flame Saigami, which means she now has to prove herself to The Order in a matter of a few weeks, or risk being destroyed.

Apple Black vol 1 by Odunze Oguguo

Cover of Apple Black volume 1. Sano is draped in a flowing white cape. His special wand, which is his left arm, is out in front of him, clenched in a fist. He is smirking. His black hair is also flowing but it's tied behind in a pony tail.
Growing up, Sano received private instruction from powerful sorcerers and was trained to become the world's savior, the Trinity. Against their better judgment, Sano's guardians have decided to let him complete his training with other magic users, all who knows of the Trinity and want to test Sano's skills. If his classmates and teachers weren't enough, evil forces that have threatened their world for centuries have also begun to infiltrate the Academy in hopes of disrupting the society and derailing the savior. While not in detention or constantly having to prove himself, Sano must also escape attempts on his life and navigate a tricky political landscape, and keep his grades up to stay at the Academy.
