Nekogahara
MEWSHIDO In medieval Japan, it’s a hard life for a stray cat. Every day is filled with struggles and prejudice, from oppression by fellow cats working for cruel masters to extortion by catnip druglords. But being a stray also means incredible pride and independence. The wandering samurai Norachiyo has no master, though he still wears the telltale bell of a cat who has a “person.” This rogue warrior travels across Japan, protecting the weak and cutting down those who have forgotten the virtues of being a stray – all with unrivaled swordsmanship. Although Norachiyo leaves little trace but his fearsome reputation, this enigmatic warrior has made plenty of enemies who are more than willing to get their claws on his head. Will Norachiyo’s past catch up with him, or can he spend his nine lives in freedom?

NOiSE
What starts as a routine investigation into a series of child kidnappings turns personal when a fanatical cult viciously murders Detective Musubi Susono's partner. Stymied by her superiors and armed only with a mysterious sword, Susono must descend into the depths of her decaying city in search of answers- and what she finds will remake the world as she knows it. Set 3,000 years before the events of BLAME!, this dark, action-packed prequel from sci-fi visionary Tsutomu Nihei (Knights of Sidonia, Aposimz) provides a glimpse into the origins of the Safeguards and the NetSphere while standing alone as a gritty masterpiece of cyberpunk noir. Finally, back in print, NOiSE also includes Nihei's prize-winning debut story, an early version of BLAME!
