Demon slayer vol 11 by koyoharu gotouge

9/22/2023

0 Comments

 
Cover of Demon Slayer volume 11. Nezuko is in her demon power-up form: she has vines around her arms and legs, one horn coming out of her forehead, and lines coming out of one her eyes.
Uzui and Tanjiro continue to take on Gyutaro while Inosuke and Zenitsu battle Daki. The team realizes that they need to coordinate their efforts to behead the demons together because the sibling demons are able to protect each other from dying. Uzui's wives also, somewhat, get involved, by hurling wisteria-dipped daggers at the demons, even though the Slayers take some as collateral damage. ​ The Slayers also have to try to avoid Gyutaro's powerful poisonous Demon Blood Art sickles, which take Uzui out of the fight and leave Tanjiro facing an Upper Twelve Kizuki on his own.

Cover of Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation volume 1. Two figures are floating in the sky, one playing something like a flute, one holding a large black object. The one playing the flute is in a black robe with red trim, the other is in a white robe with blue trim. Behind them is a full moon and some white wispy clouds.
Adapted by Luo Di Ching Qiu

​Wei Wuxian, a powerful and hated figure, is summoned in a dangerous and forbidden ritual by a young man seeking revenge on his clan. But, the youth left some less than stellar instructions for Wei to decipher. If Wei fails, he risks his own eternal soul being destroyed. If he succeeds, he gets another chance at life, and a chance to build upon the work he was doing in his past life. After satisfying the initial demands, Wei leaves the family's compound to bring down some of the more powerful figures of the clan. This will take more cunning and power, which Wei is limited on in his new host body.

Cover of Demon Slayer vol 9. Uzui, the Sound Hashira, is almost kneeling. His swords are on his back and one muscular arm is about to unsheathe on sword. He has a red mark across one of his eyes and a silver headband just above his brow ridge. His silver hair is pulled back above his headband. He's wearing gold cuffs on his arms.
Tengen Uzui, the Hashira of Sound, has lost contact with all three of his wives. They were under cover in an Entertainment District that he suspected was being operated by a demon. He recruits Tanjiro, Zenitsu, and Inosuke to go undercover dressed as young girls to join a Courtesan house to find out what happened but also to investigate where the demon might be hiding and taking humans. Each of the guys joins a different Oiran courtesan house to investigate, some more convinsingly than others - Inosuke's beautfiul face gets him by as long as he doesn't speak; Tanjiro is found out almost immediately, but his kindhearted mistress doesn't mind since he is so helpful; but Zenitsu has the worst luck with his disguise and is captured almost immediately!

Cover of Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun volume 9. Hanako and his bother are bathed in orange light and surrounded by little spirits.
On a seemingly normal day, Nene rushes late into her class but thankfully makes it in before Sensei. Instead, she finds Hanako-kun sitting in the desk behind her, and he’s dressed like a normal student. What’s more, her classmates can see him, and they attest he has been attending classes with them this whole time! In the middle school, Kou reports early for his morning cleaning duty and finds Mistuba is already there. He seems perplexed by Kou's questions about School Mysteries. Upon comparing notes, it's clear that Nene and Kou are the only two that remember the school the way it seemed it was only yesterday, and why is there also a strange tower in the garden that also wasn't there yesterday?

Cover of Teen Titans volume 4. Damien is holding a silver batarang, ready to throw it. He's wearing a red and black puffy jacket. Behind him is Dick, standing a bit taller than him, wearing a red and grey letterman jacket. He's on the phone. They're standing back to back, not facing each other.

​
Picking up right where Beast Boy Loves Raven left off, the teens survive a night in the wilderness hiding from H.I.V.E., but they won’t last long on their own. Max calls her mother, Natalia, and they find a vacation rental in Georgia where they can lay low and avoid Slade. At the house, Natalia helps each teen train their individual powers for better control and to use them to their advantage. Gar decides it’s time to make up with his parents, and he calls them down to the Georgia coast to confront them about what they were doing and what they know about H.I.V.E.. Unknown to them, Damien’s adoptive brother, Dick Grayson, tracks his brother to the beach house and wants to stay and help them out, which enrages Damien.

A., so they pack up and try to get to her before he does.

The white cat’s revenge as plotted from the dragon king’s lap vol 4 by kureha

Cover of The White Cat’s Revenge as Plotted from the Dragon King’s Lap volume 4. Ruri is in her signature blue dress, twirling around. There are red roses all around her and her blonde hair is fanned out around her.
Adapted by Aki 

Asahi is leading the humans to war against the Draconians, all under the banner of saving a kidnapped Ruri. The fight is over before it begins thanks to the overwhelming strength of the Draconian fighters. Ruri still hasn’t confessed her true identity to the king, so Asahi’s repetitive accusation of kidnapping a human named Ruri bewilders most of the dragon court. After a botched attempt to escape the castle, Asahi starts to see what the world is like without her magic charming everyone, but she still doesn’t understand why people aren’t falling over themselves to help her. Ruri finally gets a moment of sweet closure by lecturing Asahi about her gullibility, but it may take several years of hard labor on Draconia’s prolific farm to sort everything out.

Cover of The Faraway Paladin volume 4. William and Al hold their weapons high. They are in silver armor. William is holding a sword. Al has an ax and a blue flaming torch.
Adapted by Mutsumi Okubashi
​
Through William’s efforts, the town of Torch Point has begun to thrive and accept people from all over the world. The latest group of refugees are a group of dwarves who have been wandering after their home in the Rust Mountain was seized by a fierce dragon. William welcomed them but hopes an increase in people doesn’t lead to an increase in crime. He sets the dwarves to work building things and helping around town so as to reduce their likelihood of resorting to crime to survive. He also notices one among them who stands out due to his bravery, his preferential treatment from other dwarves, and his conviction. William decided to take the young dwarf as his squire and train him to be a great warrior. It turns out, Al, the dwarf, is a direct descendant from the last king of the dwarves! While patrolling for reported sightings of undead, William gets another visit from Stagnate, the God of Death, but this time as a warning not to go after the dragon of Rust Mountain who destroyed the dwarves' civilization.
