New Releases
Burst Angel Volume One by Minoru Murao
Takeru is just a culinary student, but he wants more than that out of life — maybe something more like what Jo and Meg, who make their living by making other people’s lives safer, have. To do that, however, Takeru will first have to overcome his fears and all of the other things that are holding him back!
The Pale Queen by Ethan M. Aldridge
Agatha has grand ambitions: she wants to be an astronomer. But her obsession with the sky might be distracting her from the danger closer to home. The Lady of the Hills offers Agatha tantalizing information and assistance, but she is nothing like what she seems to be. Agatha will have to figure out what the Lady really wants before she can pursue her own dreams.

Riot Recommendations

Parenthesis by Élodie Durand
Judith developed a brain tumor as a teenager. This caused seizures and left her with memory loss that she is still grappling with years later. Because the tumor occurred during her formative developmental years, Judith missed a lot of the milestones that her peers got to experience, and she now has to find a different way to grow up and move on.
