Collection of several short stories, including omake (extra) koma stories, published as an anthology. The stories are often very slapstick.
April 10th. Yesterday was the last day of spring vacation, so starting this morning it was a school day. After being woken up by his cute little sister, Itsuka Shidou believed that it would be the start of another normal day. As for predicting the chance meeting with the girl who called herself a spirit...... Along with a sudden shockwave, the townscape vanished without a trace. In a corner of the street which had now become a crater, the girl was there. "�”You, have you come to kill me too?" She is the disaster that will destroy humanity, a monster of unknown origin, and a being rejected by the world. There are only two ways to stop this girl: annihilation, and conversation. His little sister Kotori, wrapped in a military uniform, thus said to Shidou: "Since it's like this, just go date her, and make the spirit fall for you!" "Wh.. whaaaaaaaat!?" Enter a new age of boy meets girl!!
From MangaHelpers: This manga is related to the "Date A Live" novel and anime. It features members of the AST (AntiSpirit Team), a special squad devoted to fighting spirits. Okamine Mikie idolizes her superior AST member, Tobiichi Origami, and may be in love with her as well. Unfortunately, Origami seems to want nothing to do with her. One day, they end up heading toward an explosion that wasn't caused by a spirit. Instead, it was caused by a girl named Ashley Sinclair, who transfers to their school shortly after the incident!
A seminal history of Date Masamune. Yokoyama has a plain and matter of fact style for history without really trying to dramatize it.
The 13th year of the Tenshou Era (1573.7.28 - 1592.12.8), young "One-Eyed Dragon" Date Masamune is the head of the powerful Date family. Masamune is very vain, self-centered, and reckless, and has started attacking and conquering all of the regions around his lands. The purpose of his campaign appears to be the acquisition of the treasures these nations possess. Katakura Kojuro, his trusted retainer and friend, does his best to keep Masamune from getting himself killed by his rash and dangerous plans.
Date Bashira is a series of stories about the Sengoku era in Japan. However, unlike most textbooks and historical mangas, Date Bashira does not focus on the Shogun or famous figures in history. Instead, it brings to light the untold stories of the things surrounding these famous figures. For example, one story tells about the role of how beautiful young men were always accompanying the shoguns into battle. As women were not allowed into a battle zone, the warlords would use these teenage boys to satisfy their sexual urges. A different chapter tells the history of the wives of the Shoguns and focuses on the female role in the Sengoku era. As young women were forced into arranged marriages, usually as peace offerings or spies, their husbands usually die in battle at a very early age, as it was the era of war. Date Bashira discusses the idea of remarriage for these women and if they were really in love or were playing the role of a wife. Date Bashira takes a different perspective at one of Japan’s most talked about era and even though it is informative, you never get the feeling of a lecture. The beautiful artwork, splash of comedy and the untold, yet interesting historical information really keeps the reader glued onto the pages. [vyc, mangahelpers]
