Seeing double? No need to check your eyes. This week’s Manga Monday doubles your pleasure with two books from popular series. Special call out to Dr. STONE whose first two editions appear. The hero’s desire to use science to tackle his otherwise supernatural conundrum struck a cord with me. Definitely worth a try. Check it out!

|---|---|---|---|
| 1. |  | My Hero Academia: Vigilantes Issue 2 by Hideyuki Furuhashi This series is an interesting take on a different layer of quirk society - people not fortunate enough to attend hero high schools and thus become licensed to use their quirks. The main protagonist, Koichi, is reluctantly roped into becoming a vigilante, but now that he's actually developing his quirk and fighting crime, he kind of digs it. Second in this thoughtful, developing series. |  $6.99 |
| 2. |  | My Hero Academia: Vigilantes Issue 3 by Hideyuki Furuhashi Koichi continues on his development as an unlicensed hero. One of his classmates, Makoto, starts to help him out, becoming more confident as a result. Koichi's glad for the help but starting to feel a bit jealous of his friend. All of that goes by the wayside, though, once the bee user, Hachisuka, returns distributing her power enhancing bee venom ersatz villains. | $6.99 |
| 3. |  | Battle Angel Alita Vol 3 by Yukito Kishiro Stunned by the way her relationship with Yugo ended, Alita hurtles into the sport of motorball in search of a fresh start and new possibilities. She turns herself into a honed, unthinking blade and launches herself up the ranks. Little does she know that her ultimate foes will be Jasugun, the supreme champion of motorball, and Dr. Ido, her own father figure! | $6.89 |
| 4. |  | Dr. STONE, Vol. 1: Stone World by Riichiro Inagaki Didn't notice this series until Amazon flagged book 2 (also in the list this week). Looks interesting, so am definitely checking it out. Basically, everyone on Earth's been turned into statues. Years later, a teenager wakes up and after going "WTF?!" hatches a plan to cure everyone else--using science. Plays to the stuff we love here at Penny Candi. The first two books are here, priced the same, so really, give 'em a shot and let us know what you think! |  $6.29 |
| 5. |  | Dr. STONE, Vol. 2: Two Kingdoms Of The Stone World by Riichiro Inagaki Here's book 2 of the Dr. Stone series. Taiju and his buds discover gunpowder as well as other humans. The concept of needing to rebuild civilization after the adults are frozen is incredibly intriguing and I suspect a metaphor. Looking forward to seeing how this series develops. | $6.29 |

Now Jiro must enter a larger battle and become a soldier in a supernatural war. Where will it end. Book 1 is just the beginning. Another interesting story that caught our eye this week. Book 2 got pushed to us, but you really gotta start with Book 1. | $6.29 |

But when the rookie Reiji learns that Jiro is fused with a cat demon, he refuses to work with him. The new team has only just been brought together. Will it end before it begins? Book 2 of series follows the common pattern of doing character development of the main players now that they are gathered before actually starting the real story. | $6.29 |
| 8. |  | Battle Angel Alita Vol 2 by Yukito Kishiro Alita works as a bounty hunter in the hopes that she'll find her true self through the crucible of battle.
