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.

I can see ghosts, but there is one I cannot forget... [Original Webtoon](https://m.webtoons.com/id/drama/blue/list?title_no=1423) [Official English](https://www.webtoons.com/en/drama/blue/list?title_no=3477) As a bridge between the living and the dead, Juni is an outcast at her new school. One peculiar ghost may be able to change her bleak school life, however. He may be a ghost, but Jimmy seems to understand Juni better than any of her classmates. Juni tries her best to ignore him, but when Jimmy suddenly disappears, Juni finds herself longing for the ghost she once took for granted.

There was once a man who effortlessly brandished a colossal blade, cutting down one enemy after the other. He was feared as a war demon, a warrior on the same level of the Hero, the mightiest there was... But that was in the past. Now the middle aged man Vald is scorned as a coward who hesitated before the Demon King, and he was given nothing but a remote territory for his past glory. Due to a powerful curse cast on Vald by the Demon King's army at its last moments, his body became incapable of fighting. Even the territory he was given is in ruins was torn apart by monsters... And on the very day he arrived to take up his land, monsters launched an attack on his territory right before his eyes. "I'd convinced myself I didn't care anymore..." So, even with his cursed body weighing him down, Vald draws his beloved sword once more to protect the people. Can he protect his territory from the grasp of evil? Marked by a curse, the strongest middle-aged man's battle begins once more. https://www.manga-up.com/titles/1681
