March Comes in Like a Lion. Vol. 1

Rei Kiriyama is a child prodigy. Rei Kiriyama is also an orphan who lives alone in an empty apartment. Rei Kiriyama is a teen working in an adult’s world. Life is complicated for Rei. He’s an up-and-coming shogi (Japanese chess) player on the verge of turning pro but he has no home life or much of a life period outside his board game. But thankfully with the help of some life-long friends, he has an opportunity to start all over again.

Seven Minutes in Candyland

Sophomore Kalvin Shmelton has finally perfected his underground candy-selling hustle at school. He keeps his prices reasonable, his inventory fresh, and himself out of the drama. But when a heartbroken Sterling Glistern, Kal’s longtime crush, barges into the storage closet where he keeps his candy supply, a new source of income unexpectedly presents itself: relationship therapist. He only meant to help Sterling realize she’s dating a jerk, and maybe win her over, but news spreads fast that Kalvin’s not just the master of sweets—but of hearts, too.

Snowglobe

Enclosed under a vast dome, Snowglobe is the last place on Earth that’s warm. Outside Snowglobe is a frozen wasteland, and every day, citizens face the icy world. Their only solace comes in the form of 24-hour television programming streamed directly from the domed city. The residents of Snowglobe have everything: in exchange, their lives are broadcast to the less fortunate outside. Chobahm lives for the time she spends watching the shows produced inside Snowglobe. Only, life inside Snowglobe is nothing like what you see on television. Reality is a lie, and truth seems to be forever out of reach.
