The author of the LOST YEARS OF MERLIN series begins another epic fantasy of the King Arthur era. The great tree of Avalon stands as a bridge between Earth and heaven, mortal and immortal and sprouted from a seed won by Merlin on his journey through a magical mirror. The tree's seven roots comprise seven worlds with different populations and appearances: Shadowroot, Fireroot, Woodroot, Stoneroot, Airroot, Waterroot, and Mudroot. The story focuses on Tamwyn (Dark Flame), who believes that he's the prophesied Dark Child, born in the year of darkness, who will eventually destroy his own adored Avalon, and he desperately wants to escape this fate. He's accompanied by Scree, an eagleboy kidnapped as a child and raised with Tamwyn, and Elli, a priestess's apprentice intently seeking Merlin's heir in order to prevent the foretold cataclysm. A fantastical cast of fairies, sprites, and shape-shifters appear in this witty and violent flight of imagination.

A split personality leads to double trouble in this shojo manga (female-oriented graphic novel) series. Yaya Higuchi is a sweet, shy 16-year-old aspiring singer who is constantly teased and bullied by her father and her so-called friends Seri and Moe. The only person who honestly seems to care for her is Moriyama, a male classmate who heads up a rock band. However, there is someone willing to come to Yaya's defense: aggressive, confident Nana, who plans to exact swift and brutal revenge for every single slight suffered by Yaya. Unfortunately, Nana is actually Yaya's alternate personality, and every time Nana surfaces, Yaya can't remember what Nana does! The black-and-white art, as is typical for shojo, focuses tightly on the excessively pretty, big-eyed characters. The artist effectively depicts the shift in personality from self-effacing, childish Yaya to confident, sexy Nana, while still clearly indicating that these two egos inhabit the same body. Reproducing the original Japanese right-to-left orientation, the book also contains guides to Japanese honorifics and the cultural references used in the text.
