Ramen and manga are two Japanese things that people love everywhere around the world. But no one's ever brought them together before--until now! Let cool, mysterious high school student Ms. Koizumi and her girlfriends show you around the authentic ramen culture of everyday Japan in this fun food manga. The noodles, the toppings, the broth--the street stalls, restaurants, and home cooking...and yes, cup ramen too! You'll slurp down a whole new knowledge of Japan's greatest fast food that even many Japanese don't know...but Ms. Koizumi does!

Ms. Koizumi has taken planes and trains in search of noodles...but never before a mountain pilgrimage, as she ascends the granite slopes of Mt. Tsukuba in search of the ramen restaurant at the summit! And that's only her first culinary adventure in the tasty volume three, as she guards the secret of her beauty from the jealous Misa (could it be the backfat in her broth?), dodges pick-up artists in Osaka, and meets a mysterious older woman who reminds her strangely of a certain obsessive classmate...!

Through frank discussion and a heavy flow of humor, this collection follows Little Miss P as she calls on women from all walks of life. No pop star, action hero, or office worker is exempt from Little Miss P's formidable PERIOD PUNCH!

Yuu's worried about whether Ms. Koizumi might have a boyfriend...but as usual, the only thing Ms. Koizumi's worried about is missing all the tastes to try in ramen! How about butter ramen with a sweet pepper accent, from Japan's dairy region in Hokkaido? Chashumen--stewed and smoky pork belly ramen? Fukuoka's famous red spicy miso akamaru ramen? Do you have the special fork for eating ramen? Know the German style of slurping noodles? Better save room for more--because this is only a few pages in the delicious volume two!

The latest book of the final season of the best-selling MONOGATARI series. Before we witness the series’ climactic showdown in the third volume of the "End Tale"—each part of which forms its own cohesive whole—narrator Araragi wrestles with a crucial bit of history that had turned him into the loner we met at the very beginning, who opined that friendships only lowered his intensity as a human. What initiates his pilgrim’s progress of a reckoning is his first encounter, at school, with the mysterious freshman Ogi Oshino, self-described niece of the equally enigmatic aberration expert Mèmè, and the book’s opening chapter is a harrowing standalone novella of a whodunnit involving a locked room of sorts. Our increasingly well-adjusted hero kept on being decent at one thing even when he was just hanging on, but this forte, an unlikely aptitude for math, of all things, becomes the focus of a cheating scandal and a web of recollections that forces him to come to terms with, what do you know, his capacity to connect to people.
