Book Description
This manga bookstore has a thousand stories to tell. If a manga volume exists, you can find it at Kingyo Used Books. But Kingyo is more than just a typical used bookstore—it’s a place where human relationships are treated as the most valuable stories of all. Natsuki, the store’s interim manager, and Shiba, the manga maniac who loves her, help both their regular patrons and random customers in a series of linked tales built around actual manga series ranging from the popular to the esoteric. In this volume: A disaffected boy searches for something to put a spark in his tedious life...and finds a manga that puts the fear of the devil in him. A guy and girl can't find anything they have in common—until they discover a mutual love of a certain gender-bending martial arts manga. After a schlubby nerd loses his cool at the handsome manga freaks at Kingyo, a classic horror manga teaches him that beauty is only skin deep. Natsuki's search for her missing mother takes her to a manga museum that has special meaning for her parents. Someone is setting fire to used bookstores, and Kingyo may be next—unless two mismatched manga fans can stop the arsonist!

Book Description
Yukie Sakai is a sprightly young home health aide eager to help her elderly clients. But what seems like a straightforward job quickly turns into a series of increasingly surreal and bizarre adventures that put Yukie’s wits to the test! Cartoonist Kago, who is well known for combining a more traditional manga style with hyper realistic illustration technique, an experimental visual storytelling approach, and outrageously sexual and scatological subject matter, has single-handedly created his own genre: “fashionable paranoia."

Book Description
Under the leadership (and threats) of the Sable, a small group of survivors goes on the offensive against the invading goldfish. The 009 building, once a bustling shopping center, is the apparent stronghold of the "Silver Princess," a pure-white Tosakin goldfish with unique abilities as terrible as her appearance is striking. Capturing the Princess may be the only way to save Alisa and ultimately escape Shibuya, but her giant, bloodthirsty entourage is proof that absolutely anything can happen and nothing can be taken for granted. Thirteen enter 009-how many will make it out?!

Goldfish -Kingyo- were originally brought to Japan from China in 1502, and raised exclusively by the rich and the noble as highly prized, rare pets. It was not until the 1800's that goldfish became popular among the general public. Yet in no time they were raised as common pets, and depicted as motifs in art & crafts and on common household items, ultimately forming an unique Japanese kingyo culture. This book is a
