**A KIND OF MAGIC** Parallel to our dimension is a world filled with magic, home to a host of mystical beings and fantastical powers. Humanity has learned to harness these forces and bring forth that world’s entities to do their bidding through the power of “summoners.” Our world has never been the same. Fifteen years later, Kazuki Hayashizaki is chosen as the first male summoner.

As Kazuki is torn between the way of the sword and the world of summoning, can he overcome adversity and learn to harness his new powers? *Source: Seven Seas Entertainment, Vol. 1*

Nawoki Karasawa is one of the longer-active and more prestigious names in the typically small time, lesser-known world of gag manga. In a genre where art skill is second to just about everything else, Karasawa's dialogue is hilariously sharp and witty. A gag parody of Shinji Mizushima's immortal "Mangaka Zankoku Monogatari" (Karasawa's title only differs by adding "cho" \[super\] to "zankoku"), a manga about the dreams, ambitions and suffering of a group of bright young mangaka, Karasawa brilliantly takes the piss out of just about everything involved with being a mangaka. It's lewd, raunchy, endlessly cynical and laugh-out-loud funny. (Source: One Manga) *This entry includes the extra chapters published in the new edition.*
