Victoria Ying - City of Secrets OUT NOW!
Hey all, I got a new e-reader specifically for reading MANGA. I'm looking for recommendations for new books! I have a lot of them on kindle so I would rather not repurchase old books. I have all of the Witch Hat Atelier books, Fullmetal, and Scott Pilgrim.

The Girl From the Other Side
by Nagabe
In a land far away, there were two kingdoms: the Outside, where twisted beasts roamed that could curse with a touch, and the Inside, where humans lived in safety and peace. The girl and the beast should never have met, but when they do, a quiet fairytale begins. This is a story of two people--one human, one inhuman--who linger in the hazy twilight that separates night from day.Land of the Lustrous 1
by Haruko Ichikawa
An elegant new action manga, Land of the Lustrous is set in a far future Earth, where humanity's distant descendants live on in a small group of sexless crystalline beings who must fight off an invasion from the Moon. The young gem Phosphorite can't seem to do anything right. "Phos" has nothing but a big mouth and guts. Cinnabar, a classmate, is a loner, shunned by the other gems because of the toxins emitted from their body. But when they get together, they will learn that they both have an essential role to play in the fight against the Moonfolk, who are intent on coming to Earth to abduct the gem folk and destroy their world. A beautifully-drawn new action manga from Haruko Ichikawa, winner of the Osamu Tezuka Cultural Prize.Votes: 4
