This thrilling YA retelling of Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai features a girl tasked with saving the world from eternal darkness. Perfect for fans of Six of Crows and Marie Lu. Seventeen-year-old Kira Fujikawa has never had it easy. She’s bullied by the popular girls in school. Her parents ignore her. And she’s also plagued with a secret: She can see yokai, the ghosts and demons that haunt the streets of Kyoto. But things accelerate from bad to worse when she learns that Shuten-doji, the demon king, will rise at the next blood moon to hunt down an ancient relic and bring the world to a catastrophic end. Not exactly skilled at fighting anything, much less the dead, Kira enlists the aid of seven powerful death gods to help her slay Shuten-doji. They include Shiro, a kitsune with boy-band looks who is more flirtatious than helpful, and O-bei, a regal demon courtier with reasons of her own for getting involved. As the confrontation with Shuten-doji draws nearer, the fate of Japan hangs in the balance. Can Kira save humankind? Or will the demon king succeed in bringing eternal darkness upon the world?

From the artist of Ayakashi Triangle, To Love Ru (both also from Seven Seas), and Black Cat! This provocative sci-fi tale is the manga version of the hit anime--but with a divergent storyline. In a devastated post-apocalyptic future, Earth is a desolate wasteland. Humanity’s only remaining strongholds are mobile fortress cities called Plantations, defended by giant robots known as FRANXX, who drive back the massive predatory Klaxosaurs that now roam the land. Failed pilot Hiro would be out there fighting them if he hadn’t screwed it all up. But a chance encounter with a mysterious horned girl is about to change the course of his life—and his destiny piloting the FRANXX.
