Book Description
Sage Czinski is trying really hard to be perfect. If she manages it, people won't peer beyond the surface, or ask hard questions about her past. She's learned to substitute causes for relationships, and it's working just fine . . . until Shane Cavendish strolls into her math class. He's a little antisocial, a lot beautiful, and everything she never knew she always wanted. Shane Cavendish just wants to be left alone to play guitar and work on his music. He's got heartbreak and loneliness in his rearview mirror, and this new school represents his last chance. He doesn't expect to be happy; he only wants to graduate and move on. He never counted on a girl like Sage. But love doesn't mend all broken things, and sometimes life has to fall apart before it can be put back together again. . . .

Book Description
"In the worldwide circulation of the products of cultural industries, an important role is played by Japanese popular culture in European contexts. Marco Pellitteri shows that the contact between Japanese pop culture and European youth publics occurred during two phases. By use of metaphor, the author calls them the Dragon and the Dazzle. The first took place between 1975 and 1995, the second from 1996 to today. They can be distinguished by the modalities of circulation and consumption/re-elaboration of Japanese themes and products in the most receptive countries: Italy, France, Spain, Germany and, across the ocean, the United States. During these two phases, several themes have been perceived, in Europe, as rising from Japan's social and mediatic systems. Among them, this book examines the most apparent from a European point of view: the author names them machine, infant, and mutation, visible mostly through manga, anime, videogames, and toys. Together with France, Italy is the European country that in this respect has had the most central role. There, Japanese imagination has been acknowledged not only by young people, but also by politicians, television programmers, the general public, educators, comics and cartoons authors. The growing influence of Japanese pop culture, connected to the appreciation of its manga, anime, toys, and videogames, also urges political and mediologic questions linked to the identity/ies of Japan as they are understood--wrongly or rightly--in Europe and the West, and to the increasingly important role of Japan in international relations."--Back cover

They found themselves in a dense forest. The trees were tall and bulky; dense foliage everywhere; and the canopy was so thick, it was quite dark beneath the bright sun. It was the characteristic of Esterwood the Land of Forests. Everything was still. It was like calm before the storm. It portended evil. Suddenly the forest seemed to come alive. An eerie sound came and surrounded them. Wind blew violently; they could not stand on their feet. The tree branches wildly swayed in that wind. The trees and creepers were suddenly moving from their positions. The trees seemed to be closing in on the four friends with their branches. They indeed were. The four friends came to a standstill, and looked in all directions to ward off danger. The trees picked up speed. They closed in from all directions. Naren, and his friends Bulli Mantrik, and Answer the Lamb were all caught in the branches of the trees, and were unable to move. Penny the Parrot tried to fly away. The trees chased him, jumped, and caught him with their branches. Naren tried to move, but the trees and creepers so tightly clasped him, he could not move even an inch. So he could not lay hands on his sword. He felt suffocated by a twig holding him tightly by the neck. The trees seemed to kill them all, suffocating to death. An even queerer thing happened. Then was heard an eerie voice from the heavens. "Come to me." ... Please scroll up and grab your copy now.

Book Description
Previously published in three installments, the entire run of comic master Osamu Tezuka's enduring classic is herewith available in one volume at a new affordable price. The lauded adventures of a young swordsman and his rogue sidekick that also inspired the cult video game Blood Will Tell have never been as accessible. A samurai lord has bartered away his newborn son's organs to forty-eight demons in exchange for dominance on the battlefield. Yet, the abandoned infant survives thanks to a medicine man who equips him with primitive prosthetics - lethal ones with which the wronged son will use to hunt down the multitude of demons to reclaim his body one piece at a time, before confronting his father. On his journeys the young hero encounters an orphan who claims to be the greatest thief in Japan. Like an unforgettable road movie, Dororo reaches deeper than its swashbuckling surface and offers a thoughtful allegory of becoming what one is, for nobody is born whole.
