1st printing. By Yoshihiro Tatsumi. In Fallen Words, Yoshihiro Tatsumi takes up the oral tradition of rakugo and breathes new life into it by shifting the format from spoken word to manga. Each of the eight stories in the collection is lifted from the Edo-era Japanese storytelling form. As Tatsumi notes in the afterword, the world of rakugo, filled with mystery, emotion, revenge, hope, and of course, love, overlaps perfectly with the world of gekiga that he has spent the better part of his life developing. These stories resonate with modern readers thanks to their comedic elements and familiarity with human idiosyncrasies. Tatsumi's love of wordplay shines through in the telling of these whimsical stories, and yet he still offers timeless insight into human nature. Softcover, 264 pages, B&W.

As the sole survivor of a vampire attack, En wakes up to find that his hair has gone white as snow... and, worse, that he's developed a craving of his own for blood. Fortunately, the vampire health and welfare organization FANGS is there to help with the transition, and the handsome Ichii steps up as his guardian and mentor. Swept up into a confusing and lonely new world where everyone seems to be hankering for a taste of his "virgin" blood, En must navigate the FANGS pairing system, an arrangement that sets up compatible vampires as mutual feeding partners... and partners in all other ways as well. But what happens when En panics and declares that he'll be paired with Ichii? And what does brooding, rough-around-the-edges Ichii make of his spunky, outgoing new charge?

As the sole survivor of a vampire attack, En wakes up to find that his hair has gone white as snow... and, worse, that he's developed a craving of his own for blood. Since then, he's been living with Ichii, his handsome guardian and mentor, who works with the vampire health and welfare organization FANGS. Life is good... except En can't quite figure out what to make of his relationship with Ichii. There's certainly mutual attraction, devotion, playful teasing, and yet — he can't shake the sense that Ichii is hiding something from him. The more the naïve and outgoing En learns about the lonely reality of his new existence, the more isolated he feels among his fellow jaded vampires. Without knowing the secrets of Ichii's dark past, can En trust in him enough for the two of them to become paired partners? Softcover, 5-in. x 7 1/2-in., 240 pages, B&W. MATURE READERS.

Volume 1 - 1st printing. "The Boy in the City of the Dead!"

Written by Kanata Yanagino. Art and cover by Kususaga Rin. Translated by James Rushton.

In a city of the dead, long since ruined and far from human civilization, lives a single human child. His name is Will, and he's being raised by three undead: the hearty skeletal warrior, Blood; the graceful mummified priestess, Mary; and the crotchety spectral sorcerer, Gus.

The three pour love into the boy, and teach him all they know. But one day, Will starts to wonder: "Who am I?" Will must unravel the mysteries of this faraway dead man's land, and unearth the secret pasts of the undead. He must learn the love and mercy of the good gods, and the bigotry and madness of the bad.

And when he knows it all, the boy will take his first step on the path to becoming a Paladin.

Written by Kanata Yanagino. Art and cover by Kususaga Rin. Translated by James Rushton.

Though wary, Will and his allies at last set upon the forbidding Rust Mountains where the foul dragon Valacirca awaits.

A bloody battle is all but certain, and words of warning come from every direction imaginable-including from the god of undeath. Yet not even a nostalgic reunion can deter Will. He means to stay his course and fight. Thus the curtain rises on a tense clash in the lost underground kingdom.

Is Will strong enough to hold his own against a dragon feared by even the gods, or will this be the Faraway Paladin's last stand?

After returning from the battle at the Rust Mountains, what awaited Will was not a fairytale ending or another terrifying threat, but the commonplace events of his everyday life.

His friendship and a fierce battle with his dependable ally, the swordsman Reystov. An adventure in a snow-filled forest with the troubadour Bee. A battle with an ancient indomitable giant. And prayers and conversation with the god of the flame.

Penned by the Paladin, these are the stories of a single winter.
