Every autumn, the royal family sponsors a candy-crafting competition in the capital, and - following in her late mother's foot-steps - Anne's got her eyes on the prize. To that end, she sets off with her bodyguard and two companions in tow, but her plans go awry when the silver sugar she refined to present at the event suddenly goes missing...

In a world where fairies are caught and sold to the highest bidder, human aren't exactly on friendly terms with the fae folk. But friendship is exactly what Anne Halford seeks with Challe, her new fairy bodyguard, though he's not so keen on the idea. As his master, Anne tasks him with escorting her through a particularly dangerous area, but with a reluctant fairy bodyguard eager to escape a life of servitude, she'll have to deal with a lot more than she bargained for...

Honda-san is stuck: It's hard to keep drawing about your bookstore job after you've quit! But being a full-time manga artist opens new doors-stories from the publishers' perspectives, to the nitty-gritty of e-books, and even to Taiwan's book industry. It's the final volume of Skill-face Bookseller Honda-san, but the joys and agonies of bookselling last forever!

When you work in a Japanese bookstore like Honda-san, there are a million and one things to keep track of. Managing new releases, accounting for the revival of titles from the grave, understanding the unique(ly maddening) quirks of each manga publisher - it's enough to leave anyone bone-tired!

Whether it's foreigners asking for "JAPANESE EROTIC MANGA", navigating the tricky government definition of "morally harmful material", or helping a customer who's awfully "criminally organized", there's rarely a dull moment for Honda-san. The true stories of a Japanese bookstore employee can be stranger than fiction!

Ever wonder what it's like to sell comics at a Japanese bookstore? Honda provides a hilarious firsthand account from the frontlines! Whether it's handling the store, out-of-print books, or enthusiastic manga fans, Honda takes on every challenge!
