an outbreak of vampirism – and he may have bitten off more than
he can chew!

Art and cover by Aoike
CMX. FROM EROICA
WITH LOVE is the masterwork manga of Aoike Yasuko, serialized in
Akita Shoten’s Princess magazine since 1976! Set in Continental
Europe, it depicts the adventures of British aristocrat Dorian Red
Gloria and his alter ego Eroica, Europe’s most wanted international
art thief. His nemesis — Major Klaus Heinz von dem Eberbach, a German
NATO intelligence officer — has tried for years to catch the man
who claims each crime scene with a card signed “From Eroica with
Love.”
Things are
just getting started when a trio of telepathically linked teenagers
becomes aware of Dorian’s identity and plans to capture him. But
their plot goes awry as the master thief branches out — no longer
content with stealing great art, he’s moving on. Now the trio must
foil his attempts to kidnap their leader, Caesar, as they try to
save the great art treasures of Europe!

 MADARA
VOL. 1
Art and cover by Tajima Sho-u
Written by Otsuka Eiji
CMX. DC’s new
line of manga debuts with the high-action MADARA, a popular sword-and-sorcery
series that mixes Japanese mythology with futuristic themes! Originally
serialized in Kadokawa’s Marukatsu Famicon, the 5-volume MADARA
represents the first collaboration between artist Tajima and writer
Otsuka. Tajima recently garnered notoriety for his character design
work on the animated segments of Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill Vol.
1.
MADARA tells
the story of an apprentice blacksmith in a rural village who gets
by using artificial limbs created by his adoptive father. But when
a chance encounter with the demon Moki reveals Madara’s true destiny,
he’s catapulted into a mythic quest!
His real father,
the evil despot Miroku, feared long ago that Madara was destined
to kill him and rule in his place. After Madara was born with tremendous
powers, his body was cut up, and the parts divided amongst eight
evil generals. Now Madara, with the help of a band of freedom fighters
and a magical sword, sets out to retrieve his body parts and defeat
his brothers, who covet the throne. As he fights his way across
the world, he contemplates the prophecy: How will he wrest control
of the kingdom from his father and win the people their freedom?

 LAND
OF THE BLINDFOLDED VOL. 1
Written by Tsukuba Sakura
Art and cover by Tsukuba
CMX. Get ready
for Tsukuba Sakura’s symbolic tale LAND OF THE BLINDFOLDED, in which
one character can only see the past, and another can only see the
future! Originally presented in LaLa DX magazine from Hakusensha
between 1998 to 2004, the 9-volume LAND OF THE BLINDFOLDED is the
story of high school student Outsuka Kanade who can sometimes see
a person’s future with a touch, and transfer student Naitou Arou,
whose ESP is limited to past events.
When Kanade
glimpses an unfortunate incident coming, can she change it? She
soon befriends Arou, who’s no novice — he can turn his ability on
or off at will, even using it to see an object’s “memories.”
Are these teenaged
seers of the past and future made for each other? And who’s right:
Arou with his “hands off” policy about meddling in people’s lives,
or Kanade whose more proactive stance has already had unhappy consequences?
