Small Nozomi and Big Yume

High schooler Nozomi Koiwa wakes up and discovers she's lost her memories...and a whole lot of height. Now the size of a soda can, she flees from a feline assault into the disgusting den of Yume Okubo, a drunken shut-in NEET who's terrified of people and hasn't been outside for months. Between falling beer cans and deadly insect traps, Nozomi survives long enough to convince the airheaded Yume that she's a figment of her imagination who's come to save her from hitting rock bottom...all while investigating how she ended up funsized. But despite their differences-height, brains, and otherwise-each half of this quirky combo might just be what the other needs!

Teppu

It's not easy being good at everything. First-year high school student Natsuo Ishido has always been a gifted athlete, and her ability to easily master every sport has not only bought her a life of boredom, but the resentment of everyone else who has had to work hard for their achievements. Not that Natsuo cares what anyone else thinks. All she longs for is a break from the monotony...for a real challenge worthy of pouring all her efforts into. A rival-an equal-worth beating down, crushing, and demoralizing… That all seems like a pipe dream until a pair of annoyingly peppy transfer students arrive from Brazil and start up a brand-new club that teases the challenge she craves-Mixed Martial Arts.

The World is Dancing

Born into a life of acting and dance with a traveling theater troupe in 14th-century Japan, 12-year old Oniyasha has one problem-he doesn't know what the point of any of it is. Why must I step with the left foot here instead of the right? Why is one performance good and another, bad? Why do people dance at all? It all seems perfectly arbitrary, until a chance encounter in a run-down shack sets him down a path to revolutionizing the art form and influencing much of Japanese culture to come. A fictionalized account of the early life of Zeami Motokiyo (Oniyasha), the founder of modern Noh theater-the world's oldest surviving theater art-this coming-of-age artist's journey vividly brings to life a man far ahead of his time during one of Japan's most culturally and socially vibrant eras.

The World of Summoning

Tokoyo was raised in the Fantasy District-not notable in and of itself, except for the fact that he's <em>human</em>. That fact alone gives him the ability to become a Summoner-one who can bring people and items from other worlds into his own. He's the pride of the district, as all those who live there were themselves summoned from another world. But when he emerges into the city of Tokyo, a human city where the summoned are discriminated against, he finds that being a Summoner isn't what he thought it was at all…and that, perhaps, his utopian vision of a world shared by human and summoned alike isn't shared by all… A brand-new adventure from the creator of <em>Blood Lad</em>!
