The Faerie Path, which started out as a novel series, is now incarnated in the form of a Western manga. Both series follow the same premise: 16-year-old Tania originally believes herself to be a normal British teen, only to discover she is in fact a missing faerie princess. She goes back and forth between her world and the Faerie Realm, with evil forces following her no matter where she goes. This manga starts out after Tania has already learned her true identity, setting the stage with a one-page introduction. From there, it launches into a tale where a wicked queen kidnaps Tania’s mortal parents. As the story cuts off in the middle of this adventure, invested readers will clamor for the next volume or make the leap to the original books. Likewise, fans of the prose novels ought to enjoy seeing their favorite characters brought to visual life in this illustrated version. As a fun extra, detailed drawings of the characters are included in the back, as well as an excerpt from the first novel. Grades 8-11. --Danica Davidson

The main character is a 36-year-old female section manager at a general trading company, who in her 20s was called an "oyaji gyaru," but is now a middle manager who understands both her boss's position and the arguments of younger employees. The book is written from the perspective of how the Japanese economy and corporate society are viewed by these women, who are in a position to see the corporate organization from the angle of a clear observer. For example, she points out that the popular phrase "global standards" is often trivialized to mean that one must be proficient in English and information technology, and that many people use this phrase as a shield to try to impose their own standards on others. This book shows how to relax one's shoulders and laugh at the ridiculousness of Japanese corporate society. (Source: Nikkei BP, translated and edited)
