From Ponent Mon: Seventeen authors (nine from France or French-speaking countries, eight from Japan) brought together in the same book, a succession of freely created short stories about the same universe: Japan. The French, of course, journeyed to Japan for the occasion. Each cartoonist was sent for two weeks to a different city in the archipelago (Joann Sfar in Tôkyô, Emmanuel Guibert in Kyôto, Nicolas de Crécy in Nagoya, etc.) to bring back an original creation. The Japanese tell us about their district, the city where they live or where they originally come from (Kazuichi Hanawa's story being about the northern island of Hokkaido, Jiro Taniguchi's about the town of Tottori, etc.) The result is often inspired, always surprising: Japan through new eyes. "Japan" will appear simultaneously in French, Japanese, Spanish, Italian and English. Along with "A Patch Of Dreams" by Hideji Oda, it is the first step in a series of international creations with left-to-right reading direction, created for us by some of the best European and Japanese comic book artists.

Every 666 years, the ruler of the demon world changes. All the children of the former ruler must battle to see who will ascend the throne. To do this, these 'Satans' will team up with the human sorcerer 'Solomons' and fight in pairs. The Solomon of the winning pair is granted one wish. This 4-koma follows the story of one of those Satans, called Aini. Unfortunately, the human who summons Aini is actually just an erotic doujinshi writer who was doodling. He seems really into Aini, and he makes it clear his wish is going to be something (probably perverted) involving her. Their first battle is against another doujinshi writer, a girl who's really into tentacle porn. Since none of the Solomons have any skill with magic, they're going to have to find a different way to battle it out... (Source: MangaHelpers)
