Un vampiro sanguinario di nome Migiri regna seminando il terrore nelle terre dell'antico Giappone, finché un giorno il giovane eroe Naonosuke Kobayashi riesce a decapitarlo, ponendo fine al suo sanguinario regime...

Nel 1997, quando Kiyosaki pubblicò il libro 'Padre ricco, padre povero', aveva fatto scalpore nel mondo finanziario. Diventò subito un bestseller internazionale, perché non è un libro sulle proprietà immobiliari, ma sull'importanza dell'educazione finanziaria. Nel 2007, quando il valore delle proprietà immobiliari è precipitato e ha scatenato una delle peggiori crisi finanziarie degli ultimi decenni, milioni di persone hanno dolorosamente scoperto la saggezza delle parole del padre ricco. Ecco perché l'intelligenza finanziaria è più importante oggi che mai.

'Sangue in eccesso, la vergogna della famiglia!'. La vita di Karin, pecora nera di una famiglia di vampiri, è radicalmente cambiata da quando Usui Kenta, uno studente trasferitosi da un'altra scuola, ha fatto la sua apparizione. Perché mai i battiti del suo cuore crescono fino a farle quasi scoppiare il petto?! Una romantica e delicata commedia scolastica di Kagesaki Yuna.

They were a typical American family except, of course, theirs was not a typical Hollywood American family, owing to their being of Japanese descent. Then came Pearl Harbor, and their nationality, was questioned by those around them. Eventually they split, fought for both the US and Japan, and their loyalty to themselves and each other was sorely tried. Novelist Yamasaki does a brilliant job of defining what three brothers had to do to survive World War II, poised as they were on the cliffs between the two cultures. This English-language translation, published 25 years after its original in Japanese, is still haunting, with the voices of the brothers, their family and those around them debating what it meant to love one country when one was expected to hate both cultures, hate both, love one or love both, and be condemned regardless.
