I Want to Do Bad Things With You Volume One by Yutaka
Mamori loves fictional villains, so when she gets the chance to team up with her high school’s own “villain” — a rebellious and insecure boy named Fuji — she can’t resist jumping at the chance. As they embark on a mission to bring Fuji’s goody-two-shoes brother down a peg, how will their relationship evolve?
Navigating with You by Jeremy Whitley and Cassio Ribeiro
On the surface, it seems like Gabby and Neesha have little in common, but there is one thing they share: a love of a particular manga series that neither of them has finished. Their quest to find the remaining volumes will bring the two closer together and allow them to find belonging in an environment where neither of them quite fits in.

Demon Comics and Graphic Novels
Today’s comic recommendation theme is: demons! It’s still devilishly hot outside my window, so let’s go with the flow by looking at some equally demonic comics.
Blue Exorcist Volume One by Kazue Kato
Rin’s adopted father is an exorcist. His biological father is literally Satan. The last thing Rin wants is to follow in his bio dad’s footsteps, so he starts training to be an exorcist himself, all while keeping the truth of his heritage a secret from his classmates. But with a secret this big, it — and Rin’s latent demonic powers — are bound to get out eventually…
Let Me Out by Emmett Nahil and George Williams
During the Satanic Panic of the 1970s, a group of small-town misfits finds themselves the target of a political and religious witch hunt following a woman’s murder. Aside from the fact that they make obvious targets, why are they being persecuted? Could it be that the very authority figures who seek to slander them are, in fact, guilty of a far worse crime?
And on that ominous note, I leave you for two more days. Don’t talk to any weird strangers with glowing eyes in the meantime, okay?
