Chidori
Hana is at school when the devastating tsunami sweeps over Japan. But when the dark wave finally returns to the ocean, it has taken more than Hana could have ever imagined. Hana’s school sits on the side of a hill with a view of the ocean. One day, while in class, a tsunami drags the ocean across her village. Hana watches in horror as the dark water crashes into trees and tosses cars and boats around. When she is finally reunited with her family, she learns that the wave has taken more than she could have ever imagined. To cope with her grief, Hana begins to paint chidori (a thousand birds). Miki Sato’s collage art, which combines paper, textiles, and watercolor, creates a three-dimensional world that is rich in emotion, detail, and texture. Jennifer Maruno writes with compassion and heart, bringing life to this story inspired by true events.

A new paperback edition of The Strange Tale of Panorama Island, noir manga by Suehiro Maruo, based on the story by Edogawa Rampo. On a remote and mysterious island, one man builds a playground of hedonistic excess. His world is filled with splendor -- replete with waterfalls, grand palaces, and gardens -- a grand back-drop for decadent feasts, orgies, and dark secrets. Set in 1920s Japan, The Strange Tale of Panorama Island, follows the twisted path of failed novelist Hitomi, who bears an uncanny resemblance to the son and heir apparent of a rich industrialist family. Hitomi learns of the rich man's sudden passing and creates a desperate plan. He fakes his own death, digs up and hides the other man's body, and then washes himself up starving on a beach near the home of the dead man's family. After successfully impersonating the now-dead son, Hitomi takes over all aspects of the man's life, including his company, his fortune, and eventually his wife. The failed author soon redirects
