Want to know more? Azuki’s official synopses for all four new digital releases can be found below:
ALTERNATIVE[SELF LINER NOTE] by Chiaki Yagura, published by Manga Mavericks Books:
“The good die young.” There’s a whole movement of entertainers who by 27 years old had left their mark on the world, including my God. At 28, what have I done? Am I worthy to stand on the same stage? Why does my gospel stay unwritten? A story about music, creative slumps, and letting it all out.
BONDS by ZENZO, published by Manga Mavericks Books:
In an alternate take on “Journey to the West,” Son Goku and Sanzo have only just begun their long journey, and trust doesn’t come easily. Their already shaky bond is tested further when Sanzo’s misgivings lead to a rift between the two. Is the journey over before it even begins, or is it true that adversity is what forges unshakable bonds?
Zigoku’s Foreman by 9banta, published by Manga Mavericks Books:
Meet the literal boss from hell. Mizuchi, once a human, died, went to hell, and became an unruly demon. Though he’s not just any demon: he’s a foreman with underlings who make up a motley crew. With a magic sword and super strength, some hellish construction work should be a snap, but Mizuchi and his crew are hellbent on doing anything aside from their work.
Treime by Gamu-Chan, published by Star Fruit Books:
He glared into the darkness thinking he was prepared for what would stare back, however… There’s no one who hates Vampires more than Arglont Von Byron, a top caliber hunter of the bloodsucking breed, despite never personally being hurt by one. When the chance comes for him to eradicate Abraham, a vampire who has been a 500-year-old blight on his clan, he’s ready to do what comes naturally. However, upon reaching his target he quickly finds out why this kill has eluded defeat. Is he destined to be another casualty, or is their clash only the prelude to something more?
