(W) Tonchi Kataoka (A) Tonchi Kataoka (CA) Tonchi Kataoka

In a magical world where demons threaten humankind, a young woman with a magic sword rises up to be their champion!

Even if this domineering demon baby has crass tastes and evil DNA, she believes he can be turned to the side of good with the right influence. Unfortunately, she's forced to test the theory when a contract binds her to the baby demon lord as his surrogate parent until he performs enough good deeds to prove his worth. What kind of role is that for a mighty hero?

DRAWN & QUARTERLY

I WANT YOU GN

(W) Lisa Hanawalt (A) Lisa Hanawalt (CA) Lisa Hanawalt

Before the critically acclaimed animated shows, the bestselling graphic novel Coyote Doggirl, or the humor collections Hot Dog Taste Test and My Dirty Dumb Eyes, cartoonist Lisa Hanawalt was a comic book industry sensation with her Ignatz Award-winning minicomic series I Want You. Hanawalt's outlandish humor and ingenious formalism are evident in the comics collected here. Her love of anthropomorphism and scatology are on full display, all lovingly and grotesquely drawn by Hanawalt in obsessive, unnerving detail. A master humorist and cartoonist, Hanawalt strikes the perfect balance of drawing the gorgeous and the repugnant, the fantastical and the lifelike, the bizarre and the hilarious-creating a deeply human experience that everyone can relate to.

Then slowly she starts to face the fact of losing this energetic woman. After years marked by difficult communication, will they now manage to overcome their conflicts and say what's truly in their hearts before it's too late?
