A fateful visit to the school bathroom turns Kinjiro’s world upside down, as he discovers the dashing and popular Konoe Subaru is actually a girl?! What’s worse, the principal’s cruel and domineering daughter, Kanade Suzutsuki, has every reason to keep this secret from leaking out, and makes it her life’s work to torment Kinjiro, while attempting to cure his gynophobia. Is Kanade simply sadistic or does she really want to help Kinjiro overcome his fears? It makes no difference to poor Kinjiro, because his life has just become a living hell.

A masterpiece of horror manga, now available in a deluxe hardcover edition! Kurôzu-cho, a small fogbound town on the coast of Japan, is cursed. According to Shuichi Saito, the withdrawn boyfriend of teenager Kirie Goshima, their town is haunted not by a person or being but by a pattern: uzumaki, the spiral, the hypnotic secret shape of the world. It manifests itself in everything from seashells and whirlpools in water to the spiral marks on people's bodies, the insane obsessions of Shuichi's father and the voice from the cochlea in our inner ear. As the madness spreads, the inhabitants of Kurôzu-cho are pulled ever deeper into a whirlpool from which there is no return!

"Ever since our wild beach vacation, cross-dressing butler Konoe Subaru has been acting all awkward around me--which is really weird, given the promise we made. Why isn't she at least pretending she's happier?! Anyway, in these last few days of summer vacation, I get tricked by Suzutsuki's 'hiccups,' play video games that hit a little too close to home with my sister, listen to Nakuru's bizarre dating woes, and help Masamune at her part-time job in a maid cafe. The summer may be ending, but the sordid story of my life is just beginning..."

The school festival has arrived! In order to quell rumors that Kinjiro and Subaru are dating, Kinjiro has agreed to pretend to date Usami for the length of the festival. But nothing ever goes as planned for poor Kinjiro. Feeling spurned, Subaru crashes the mock date. This, in turn, creates problems with Subaru's rabid fan club, as Kinjiro finds himself hunted across the campus by raging fangirls!

The moment of truth! For a guy with girl phobia, Sakamachi Kinjiro sure gets his fears stoked on a regular basis! Not one, not two, but three beautiful girls have declared their love for him. But instead of squabbling over him, Subaru, Kanade, and Masamune have arranged to live with him until the new school term, and are growing closer by the day. Jiro values his friendships with all three girls, but his deadline for deciding which of them--if any-- he's in love with is closing in. He must make a choice, despite the potential consequences... and at least one option could result in a transformation he never imagined!

Haru is a beloved mainstay of the local shopping district, a second “big sister” to Yuu, and a friendly (?) acquaintance for Chiyo. But what relation does she have to Yuu’s uncle…and why does Yuu have faint memories of knowing someone just like her? The bonds of blood and affection run deep, and the truth about everyone’s shared past reveals the tragic consequences of forbidden connections…

THE LOST MASTERPIECE FROM ASTRID LINDGREN'S CHILDREN'S CLASSIC Pippi Moves In marks the first time that the legendary Pippi Longstocking comics by the famed children's author and creator Astrid Lindgren and Danish illustrator Ingrid Vang Nyman will be published outside of Scandinavia in thirty years, as well as their first ever publication in English. The outspoken strong-girl with the carrot-colored pigtails and the mismatched socks has enthralled generations of children the world over with her fabulous exploits at Villa Villekulla, where she lives with her horse and monkey. Countless translations of the chapter books are available in more than sixty languages. Pippi is Sweden's best-known children's export, making it all the more remarkable that D+Q has discovered what will be a three-volume series. The comics are re-imaginings of the classic chapter book stories and were originally published in the Swedish magazine Humpty Dumpty in 1957–1959, a decade after the original books. The comics spotlight both Lindgren's brilliant writing and Vang Nyman's bold bright colors that seem presciently and eerily modern. The original illustrator for the chapter books, Vang Nyman was an avant-garde champion of the importance of children's literature who insisted that art in children's books needed to meet the same esthetic standards as art in any other medium. Sadly Vang Nyman never achieved international success, and tragically committed suicide in 1959 due to mental health issues, while Lindgren went on to become one of the world's best-loved writers with more than 145 million books sold worldwide. Similar to D+Q's 2005 unearthing of the Tove Jansson's Moomin comic strip, which has more than 100,000 units in print, these mid-century classics are waiting to be discovered and enjoyed by the world's legions of Pippi fans, both young and old.
