Gol D. Roger was known as the Pirate King, the strongest and most infamous being to have sailed the Grand Line. The capture and death of Roger by the World Government brought a change throughout the world. His last words before his death revealed the location of the greatest treasure in the world, One Piece. It was this revelation that brought about the Grand Age of Pirates, men who dreamed of finding One Piece (which promises an unlimited amount of riches and fame), and quite possibly the most coveted of titles for the person who found it, the title of the Pirate King. Enter Monkey D. Luffy, a 17-year-old boy who defies the standard definition of a pirate. Rather than the popular persona of a wicked, hardened, toothless pirate who ransacks villages for fun, Luffy’s reason for being a pirate is one of pure wonder; the thought of an exciting adventure and meeting new and intriguing people, along with finding One Piece. Following in the footsteps of his childhood hero, Luffy and his crew travel across the Grand Line, experiencing crazy adventures, unveiling dark mysteries and battling strong enemies, all in order to reach One Piece.

Shinichi Kudo is a high-school student who, by using observation and deduction, is good at solving mysteries. While investigating one, he is caught by the criminals that he was watching and forced to take an experimental drug. Leaving him for dead, the criminals disappear. Instead of killing him, however, the drug turns Shinichi into a little kid. To preserve the illusion of his 'disappearance,' Shinichi adopts a new name based on his favorite author (Arthur Conan Doyle) and becomes Conan Edogawa. Ran, his (actually Shinichi's) childhood friend takes this little boy under her wing and brings him to her home. Conan now lives at a detective agency run by Ran's father, but his mind is as keen as ever and he continues to solve mysteries... always allowing Ran's father to take all the credit. As far as everyone's concerned, Conan is just a little kid anyway... even to Ran. This is *extremely* frustrating to Conan since nobody will listen to a 'little boy.' Despite this, Conan has a mission... to find the criminals who did this to him and get the antidote to that drug.

Noblesse 545
Parts I to V: (Volumes 001 to 063) An epic horror-action-adventure! Once there was a mighty bloodline of heroes: the Joestars. In the 1880s, Englishman Jonathan Joestar gave his life to defeat Dio, a megalomaniacal vampire. Now, 100 years later, Dio is back, and Jonathan’s descendants must travel to Egypt to destroy their ancestral enemy once and for all. On one side: Joseph Joestar and Jotaro Kujo (“JoJo” for short)…a globetrotting martial artist and his delinquent Japanese-English grandson. On the other side: a vampire and an army of murderers possessed by evil spirits, the monstrous “Stands”. But Jotaro and Joseph have “Stands” too…and the stage is set for a terrifying battle as the heroes fight their way around the world! Adapted into anime, action figures and video games, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is one of the weirdest, most influential Jump manga ever! Part VI: (Volumes 064 to 080) Time: Early 21st Century — Place: A Florida prison Set in and around the maximum-security Green Dolphin Street prison in Florida, surrounded by palm trees, swamps, and man-eating alligators, this storyline stars Jolyne Cujoh (Stand: Stone Free), the daughter of Jotaro Cujoh. After being falsely accused of a hit-and-run automobile accident, she is sentenced to 15 years in jail, a plot which may be orchestrated by some dark conspiracy, some unknown enemy. Series 6 is a weird prison story in which Jolyne discovers her own powers and other Stand Users while trying to escape the pen. Her dad Jotaro Cujoh returns for a cameo in the first few volumes, and Dio, the ultra-villain of the JoJo series, also shows up in several flashbacks, with a fragment of his corpse playing a major plot point. This series appears to be an attempt for Araki to relaunch the series for new readers (the graphic novels are numbered starting with “Vol. 1” with “JoJo Vol. 63”, and so forth, in small letters) by re-explaining the Stands and introducing a slinky, appealing female protagonist. And for the most part, it takes place within a literally confined environment — Araki had previously done some short manga stories set in jail, so maybe that’s where his current interests lie. Note also that Jolyne is the first American (specifically Japanese-American) JoJo protagonist. The sheer level of weirdness is also pretty mind-boggling, with all kinds of bizarre phenomena — rains of frogs, time distortion, and some extremely odd, conceptual Stands. And the ending is probably one of the strangest things ever to happen in the series. Part VII: (Volumes 081+) Going under the name Steel Ball Run it started out as a separate manga series but later became Part VII to JoJo, this installment takes place in the wild west in 1890 (about the same time period as the first arc of JoJo). Major noticeable difference’s from the previous 6 parts of JoJo is that the manga doesn’t bear the JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure title and the main character’s name cannot be shortened to JoJo but rather a supporting character’s name can.

Short manga serial of Hideo Azuma that features the first Neko-Mimi (cat-ears) in history, Sham Cat. (further details in the rest of the desc.) Serialized in Weekly Shonen Champion. Descriptions for each chapter: - Chapter 1 - **Sham Appears** An odd cat who can speak human language comes running into the apartment of a ronin student boy. The cat also turns into a bishojo! - Chapter 2 - **Cutting a Tail, and a Great Transformation...!?** Ban (The last name of this ronin student) goes to his part-time job, but Sham, wanting attention, follows him around after. - Chapter 3 - **Dig Up Shadows, Nyan Nyan!!** All living things have a great weakness. You\'ll know right away when you dig up their shadow... Sham displays her mysterious ESP, and an enemy bearing an existential crisis draws near. - Chapter 4 - **When You Want to be Popular, This Scent...** Ban falls in love with Ranko, the idol of Ajima Prep. He tearfully wishes, \"I want to be popular for once!!\" Sham easily succeeds in granting this. - Chapter 5 - **A Reassuring Ally Appears!!** Tomorrow is the entrance exams at last, yet Ban isn\'t doing well and becomes frantic. He is able to fall asleep from Sham\'s ESP, but Sham\'s fleas start to rampage... Sham Cat was collected into Azuma\'s **Absurdity Diary** (不条理日記, Fujouri Nikki), a compilation of short SF one-shots and serials which were parodies of popular SF works and it was released the same year. Absurdity Diary won the 10th Seiun Award for Best Comic also within the same year. Azuma mentions that Sham Cat is intended to be a parody of Shambleau by female American SF author C. L. Moore (part of the Northwest Smith series of short stories). But in addition to this, one could also observe two key influences in Sham Cat. Sham Cat, both the character and the manga, is Azuma\'s composite of two series, [Urusei Yatsura](https://mangadex.org/title/6b9206b3-5c0f-4cf8-a0cc-d2c9e1aa4df9/urusei-yatsura), and its female lead, Lum, and [The Star of Cottonland](https://mangadex.org/title/6bc9f38a-9a36-4a3f-9a70-4d465e9d597f/the-star-of-cottonland) with its lead, Chibi-Neko, both of which were being serialized around this time, and Azuma himself professed to very fond of Urusei Yatsura from its very first chapter (source: QuickJapan, issue 71). The compositions, tone, flow, plots, and characterization of Sham Cat parallels Lum and the early chapters of Urusei Yatsura, with additional elements being from Chibi-Neko. Hideo Azuma\'s lasting influence with Sham Cat can still be seen to this day. What frequently, and erroneously, is referred to as the \'Anime Cat Girl\' are all modern day Sham Cats. One could humorously say that we have many different breeds of Sham Cats today.
