Deep in a remote forest lies Hidewood. After ten grueling years working as a wallpaper installer, Paul is finally taking his first real break, alone, at a secluded mansion in the woods. But then… Turns out he’s not the only one in the house?! “…I’m Gerard Valk. I was wandering the forest and stumbled across this place.” “A wanted criminal?!” “No, nothing like that! I just… don’t like being around people, okay?” He’s broke, socially awkward, and... “I kinda need to eat something… a little special.” A self-proclaimed vampire, seriously? Paul’s peaceful getaway takes a wild turn when he suddenly ends up living with Gerard... …But isn’t this going way too far?!
Suddenly, in a split second, the once perfect circle of the moon is shattered, leaving it in a permanent crescent. Shockingly, a yellow tentacled creature claims responsibility for the explosion and warns that it will do the same to the Earth in a year's time. The creature demands a teaching position at a prestigious school, Kunugigaoka Junior High. To keep it in one place, the government obliges, leaving the students of Class 3-E with an overwhelming mission - assassinate the creature that destroyed the moon. Despite the daunting task of saving the world, the class endures additional challenges within their educational system. Discrimination from both fellow students and teachers hinders their potential for success. Without hope, they feel incapable of rising to the challenge of defeating the monster. However, Koro-sensei, the creature, takes on the role of a teacher and mentor, guiding his pupils through the dangerous world of assassination while also educating them in academia. With his guidance, the students gain the courage to take on their greatest challenge yet, their own greatest teacher. One additional story in the volume is Tokyo Department Sensou Taikenki (Tokyo Department Store War Chronicles).
This work is set in the Showa era during the mid-1960s and early '70s. Yukinojo, the protagonist, was abandoned on the grounds of a Tokyo temple soon after his birth. He meets and marries Asahi, the daughter of an Aomori apple farmer, and after being adopted into her family, moves to the deep, snow-covered apple country of northern Japan. Far from the social turmoil of the period, Yukinojo lives a quiet family life that warms his heart and fills the void of never having known his parents. But one winter everything changes when he brings his wife, who has fallen ill, a forbidden apple. Reviving a rite that should have died out some 60 years earlier, Asahi becomes the consort of a local deity known as Obosuna-sama. Delicately yet boldly, with richly expressive touches, this continuing series depicts villagers who hold fast to the traditional customs they have inherited, and the natural environment of a bygone Japan.
