He dreams of being a second Philip Marlowe, but still has ways to go. His agency called Shark resides in the adjoining room of a dentist's office, and Joutaro's most fearsome weapon is the use of the strongest human muscle: his jaw.

**In a world of alchemy and chaos, one group will do whatever it takes to make their own paradise.** In nineteenth century London, deep in the East End, there live the Hooligans: a band of miscreants led by alchemist Lee Heartrib, the current head of the Antilia Family mafia. Entrusted with guardianship of the city by his predecessor, Lee uses his alchemy to keep the junkies happy—but his true aim is creating a “paradise” for the good of the people. And sometimes, that involves getting his hands dirty, especially when he’s pitted against the other mafia heads, or shadowy beings who want to eliminate human life on earth. A new world order is on the horizon, with the Hooligans leading the way! *Source: Seven Seas Entertainment, Vol. 1*

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.
