1st printing. Story and art by Julia Cejas. Translated by Holly Aitchison. Join couple Julia and Marc as they leave the comfort of home to live in a country whose culture and art has inspired them: Japan! When the economy takes a downturn and Marc loses his engineering job, the pair realize that their relative lack of ties means they can pool their savings and his severance to embark on a new adventure, and where better for a comic artist and aspirational video game musician to go than Japan? (Until the money runs out, anyway...). Julia documents the entire experience, how they move into a tiny apartment, enroll in a local Japanese school, and begin to acclimate to the local culture (Mysterious toilets! Inscrutable garbage rules! The local fire patrol!). Follow their heartfelt and hilarious adventures as they discover more about this incredible country and each other. Softcover, 6 1/2-in. x 8 1/2-in., 144 pages, PC. Cover price $24.99.

2nd Edition - 1st printing.

Story and art by Shigeru Mizuki. Introduction by Zack Davisson.

Kitaro seems just like any other boy. Of course, he isn't-what with his one eye and jet-powered geta sandals, and the fact that he can shape-shift like a chameleon. It's all a part of being a 350-year-old yokai, a Japanese spirit monster.

Against a backdrop of photorealistic landscapes, Kitaro and his otherworldly cartoon friends plunge into the depths of the Pacific Ocean and forge the oft-unseen wilds of Japan's countryside.

The twelve stories in this special collection include more works published in the golden age of GeGeGe no Kitaro between 1967 and 1969.

Softcover, 6 1/2-in. x 9-in., 432 pages, B&W.

Revised Edition - 1st printing.

By Kenneth G. Henshall and Tetsuo Takagaki.

Learning Hiragana and Katakana is a systematic and comprehensive Japanese workbook that is perfect for self-study or use in a classroom setting.

Written Japanese combines three different types of characters: the Chinese characters known as kanji, and two Japanese sets of phonetic letters, hiragana and katakana, known collectively as kana, that must be mastered before the Japanese kanji can be learned.

Learning Japanese Hiragana and Katakana provides beginning-level students of Japanese a thorough grounding in the basic hiragana and katakana phonetic symbols or syllabaries. A comprehensive introduction presents their primary function, origin, pronunciation and usage. The main body of the book is devoted to presenting the 92 hira and kata characters along with their variations, giving step-by-step guidelines on how to write each character neatly in the correct stroke order, with generous practice spaces provided for handwriting practice.

Softcover, 128 pages, B&W.

1st printing. Written by Ken Mochizuki. Art and cover by Kiku Hughes. Basketball-loving Sumiko Tanaka, then 11, narrates this graphic novel about the World War II incarceration of Japanese Americans. Through her eyes, we watch as her family is forced from their home and subjected to indiscriminate racism as they are shipped off to the concentration camp called Minidoka in Idaho. But Sumiko and her 17-year-old sister Yuri also see acts of charity and solidarity from their non-Japanese neighbors and friends in the Seattle area that make them hopeful for the future. As the young girls struggle with the horrors of being imprisoned in the dusty desert, they also find solace in the fact that some people chose to help. Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 160 pages, full color. Cover price $19.95.
