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.

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.

Cover of Fall in Love you False Angels volume 1 . Otogi and Toki sit opposite each other on an ornate curved bench. Both are in their school uniform, which is black. Otogi's pink hair frames her face, while Toki has long white hair that frames his.
Otogi is so sweet and beautiful, and she is known as the Class Madonna in addition to being the class president. Her Vice President, Toki, is another stunning human, and a prince who treats everyone with kindness. But, these perfectly crafted personas are are hiding a darker, edgier side that accidentally leaks out in front of each other outside of school. Otogi and Toki are relieved to have someone they can be themselves around, but they still need to keep their pretenses up for the sake of their reputations. For Otogi, things go a step further— she thinks she might be falling in love with Toki, if she can let herself feel that vulnerable.
