When Anviet saves a mysterious little girl named Surya, the last thing he expected was for her to call him “Papa.” He denies the existence of a daughter, but the news about the discovery of a secret illegitimate child is spreading like wildfire. In the middle of the commotion, Saika appears in black clothes before Mushiki-but isn’t she supposed to be fused with him?

Surrounded by Man-Eating Monsters...and Women!Mushiki Kuga, having missed the mage aptitude test while out saving the world as Saika, finds himself receiving a failing grade at Void’s Garden. His one chance at redemption lies in the hands of Erulka Flaera, who whisks him away to a deserted island crawling with annihilation factors for a one-week supplementary course. However, once he’s there, he encounters an altogether different threat...as an adult Erulka and the other members of the course try to seduce him!How will Mushiki escape with both his education and his chastity intact?!

After receiving word about her engagement which she knew nothing about, Ruri heads back home to the Fuyajoh household. Mushiki, who is worried about his sister, seeks out the Fuyajoh’s family head and discovers they are the principal of an all-girls’ mage training institute! Unfortunately, no boys are allowed so he infiltrates the school as Saika Kuozaki, adopting the role of a special lecturer. But will he be able to stop Ruri’s marriage in time?!

Two Bodies in One With looks to die for, Saika Kuozaki is the most powerful mage in existence and the only one who can thwart the annihilation factors that attempt to destroy the world once every three hundred hours. When Saika is mortally wounded, however, she bequeaths both her powers and body to the normal high school boy who happens to find her, Mushiki Kuga. Just because Mushiki inherits her abilities, though, doesn’t mean he can control them. To stand a chance of saving the world, Mushiki will have to attend an academy for mages as Saika—while trying to keep his true identity under wraps!

The royal capital is finally within reach—but to get to their destination, Mister Pig and Jess must cross their final hurdle, the Needle Woods. They enter the forest with the huntsman Naut, his trusty dog Rossi, and the once-captive Yethma Blaise. This final hurdle, however, turns out to be the most perilous, because the forest is a haven for Yethma hunters. Our party is forced to pay a steeper price than they ever imagined—will they arrive at the royal capital or die trying? And even if they do succeed, is it salvation or despair that awaits them in the elusive capital?

IT'S TIME FOR REST, RELAXATION...AND RELIGION?! Kazuma and crew have made it through the winter in one piece (for the most part), and they're in dire need of a break...and for stressed and tired adventurers, there's only one place to go-the hot springs! With open-air baths and beautiful mountain scenery, Arcanletia has everything they need for a relaxing vacation. Not only that, but rumor has it the Demon King's army is avoiding the place. The reports also say it's because Aqua's Axis Church scared them off, but her loyal followers can't be that bad, right...?

Stop looking for the Book of Mormon in Mesoamerica and start looking for Mesoamerica in the Book of Mormon! Second Witness, a new six-volume series from Greg Kofford Books, takes a detailed, verse-by-verse look at the Book of Mormon. It marshals the best of modern scholarship and new insights into a consistent picture of the Book of Mormon as a historical document. Taking a faithful but scholarly approach to the text and reading it through the insights of linguistics, anthropology, and ethnohistory, the commentary approaches the text from a variety of perspectives: how it was created, how it relates to history and culture, and what religious insights it provides. The commentary accepts the best modern scholarship, which focuses on a particular region of Mesoamerica as the most plausible location for the Book of Mormon’s setting. For the first time, that location—its peoples, cultures, and historical trends—are used as the backdrop for reading the text. The historical background is not presented as proof, but rather as an explanatory context. The commentary does not forget Mormon’s purpose in writing. It discusses the doctrinal and theological aspects of the text and highlights the way in which Mormon created it to meet his goal of “convincing . . . the Jew and Gentile that Jesus is the Christ, the Eternal God.”
