Over four decades ago, Yoshihiro Tatsumi expanded the horizons of comics storytelling by using the visual language of manga to tell gritty, literary stories about the private lives of everyday people. He has been called "the grandfather of Japanese alternative comics" and has influenced generations of cartoonists around the world. Now the visionary creator of "The Push Man and Other Stories" and "Good-bye" has turned his incisive, unflinching gaze upon himself. Over ten years in the making, "A Drifting Life" is Tatsumis' most ambitious, personal, and heart felt work: an autobiographical bildungsroman in comics form. Using his life long obsession with comics as a frame work, Tatsumi weaves a complex story that encompasses family dynamics, Japanese culture and history, first love, the intricacies of the manga industry, and most importantly, what it means to be an artist. Alternately humorous, enlightening, and haunting, this is the masterful summation of a fascinating life and a historic career.

A young girl named Nagi and a giant spider make an unusual pair in this post-apocalyptic story, but living in the mountains is lonely, and they've managed to find each other. Join them in their strangely sweet domestic bliss as they spend their days sharing tea and throwing picnics, proving that love (and delicious food) can bring together even the most unlikely of friends.
The King of Iron fist tournament usually centers in the feud between the Mishima family, and the 6th iteration of this tournament is by no means different in such aspect... However 'family feud' is a little bit of an understatement when we look at the full scale world war that is being waged between the corporations lead by Kazuya Mishima (father) and Jin Kazama (son).
The story of the manga focus in this feud, but through the perspective of Asuka Kazama, meddlesome girl that likes to prevent conflict and punish evil doers using her family inherited Kazama Ryuu kobujutsu. Her strong sense of justice forces her to take a stand against the chaos that her cousin Jin Kazama is wrecking at a worldwide scale. Asuka is virtually a town hero in Osaka and is known for having little patience, so "saving the world" by smacking around Jin sounds right about her area of specialty.
.... Unfortunately for Asuka, before she can properly engage in her destined battle, she happens to stumble into Lili Rochefort, her self proclaimed rival who is in desperate need of a bloody rematch to avenge an humiliating lost to Asuka in the previous tournament... Lili will certainly not budge at anything before having her sweet victory against the Kazama style, and will follow Asuka everywhere until she can achieve this... And just like that, Asuka's "world rescue plan" gets over shadowed by the necessity of getting Lili out of her life, without totally demolishing every bone of her 'only daughter of rich father', 'spoiled egoistic sadist princess' sweet little body.
Has the bonds of an unlikely friendship just been formed?

Six months ago, Karukozaka High School was sucked into the demon world, and in the ensuing chaos, only two survivors emerged: Nobu, who defeated the Demon Lord that took over the school, and Yumi, who possesses latent demon powers of her own.
Although they're both trying to put the incident behind them, the gateway to the Underworld remains open, and soon Nobu finds himself battling demons right on the streets of Tokyo. The reason for this infestation is simple: a secret organization is trying to establish a Demon Kingdom on Earth by summoning demons through the gateway.
Nobu and Yumi are the only people to have been to the Underworld and survived, so they may have the power to stop the infestation but before that can even happen, they'll have to find each other first.
From Dark Horse: Deep into the twenty-first century, the line between man and machine has been inexorably blurred as humans rely on the enhancement of mechanical implants and robots are upgraded with human tissue. In this rapidly converging technoscape, the covert-ops agents of Section 9 are charged to track and crack the most dangerous terrorists, cybercriminals, and ghost hackers. And speaking of ghosts, when supposedly dead people start turning up walking and talking, Section 9 begins to look into the possibility that corpses are being "puppeted" from a remote location, and some serious powerbrokers may be pulling the strings. Ghost in the Shell 1.5: Human-Error Processor presents for the first time in America the "lost" Ghost in the Shell stories, created by Shirow Masamune after completing work on the original Ghost in the Shell manga and prior to his tour-de-force, Ghost in the Shell 2: Man-Machine Interface, but never collected until now. Focusing on Section 9 agents in their daily battle against technocrime, Human-Error Processor has all the mind-twisting cybermadness you've come to expect from Ghost in the Shell, but set in a more police-procedural context with action and suspense galore.
Publisher Hayakawa is celebrating its 70th anniversary with two manga anthology reprints. One collection is dedicated to mystery works while the other compiles sci-fi stories printed over the publisher’s long career.
