Momonaga used to have a boss…now he is the final boss in Yggdrasil—a game world made real—in the super popular light novel series Overlord!

But the players who stayed online past the moment the servers went quiet found themselves transported to a game world made real. Leading them is Momonga—whose love of games in the real world brought him only loneliness—now a skeletal sorcerer. The legends of Momonga and his guild begin here!

alice in murderland Volume 4Kaori Yuki

The Mad Tea Party continues in this deliciously violent, fast and loose romp through the pages of Alice in Wonderland from the one and only master of gothic horror Kaori Yuki!

Our real parents, yours and mine…

The death match with Maré leaves Stella drained. Slipping in and out of consciousness, she relives the traumatic events of the airline crash. Was Stella’s white-haired bully really on the same plane? And what was in the strange box she saw with him?

Did you and I meet a long time ago? Maybe on an airplane…?

Stella’s doubts about Tsukito, her white-haired bodyguard, resurface…Is her returning memory a Pandora’s box?

…and perhaps a hundred others have died at his hand.

Yen Press 45

The goal of the Yen Press rating system is to provide parents, librarians, and retailers with as much information about the contents of our books as simply and concisely as possible. Ultimately, opinions about appropriateness of content for a particular reader are a subjective matter and likely to vary from person to person. However, this is a useful tool to give readers some sense of what they may expect.

Yen’s ratings are structured in two tiers: age ratings (A, T, OT, M) and content indicators (L, V, S, N). Age ratings indicate a maturity threshold below which some parents or guardians may find the content unsuitable. Content indicators provide insight as to the material within the book that prompted a particular age rating. The frequency and/or severity of that material is reflected in the age rating.

AGE RATINGS

All Readers An “A” rating indicates that the material contained within the book has been deemed unlikely to be found inappropriate for any particular age group.

Teen A “T” rating indicates that there may be content within a book that some parents or guardians may consider inappropriate for children under the age of 13.

Older Teen An “OT” rated book contains material that some parents or guardians may consider inappropriate for readers under the age of 16.

Mature An “M” rated book is intended for a mature readership and may be considered inappropriate for readers under the age of 18.

CONTENT INDICATORS

= Language = Sexual Situations

= Violence = Nudity
