H.P. Lovecraft's The Colour Out of Space (H.P. Lovecraft Manga)
Par Adaptation and Art by Gou Tanabe. 2015
H.P. Lovecraft's horror story, rendered in chilling detail by modern manga horror master Gou Tanabe! The complete story in one…
volume, featuring a tip-in title page in metallic gold ink and four pages in color. Even the folk of Arkham are frightened of a valley west of town…blighted and deformed by something that fell from space—a twisting, spectral hue.In 1927, a surveyor examining a site for a new reservoir arrives at the bottom of a desolate valley in rural Massachusetts…a place spoken of in fear, even by the inhabitants of witch-haunted Arkham—for in the past, they say, there were &“strange days&” there.The surrounding landscape is weirdly tangled and overgrown, but at the very center of the isolation are five acres where nothing lives and nothing remains, but a fine gray ash unstirred by the wind. What turned this farmland into a sterile, blasted heath? It happened long ago, the visitor learns from aged survivor Ammi Pierce, when in 1882 a visitor fell out of a clear blue sky, trailing smoke like a dragon.Soon scientists from Miskatonic University arrived at Nahum Gardner&’s farm, where the meteorite landed—if indeed it was a meteorite, for the strangely plastic object refused to cool after its descent, seemed to gradually shrink, and in the laboratory, samples of it faded away slowly into nothingness. But not before revealing under analysis strange, shining radiance, unlike any known element of the spectrum.What had been a mystery to the professors gradually becomes a horror for the Gardner family as first, bizarre lightning disintegrates what remains of the cosmic visitor, and then their crops begin to come in strangely—fruits big and bountiful, but bitter and repugnant to eat. Then the unnatural blight spreads to the animals…and finally, to the minds and bodies of the Gardners…twisted by the colour out of space.&“I love H.P. Lovecraft…It would be great to adapt him as a serialized manga, but I actually saw Gou Tanabe create a great adaption of H.P. Lovecraft&’s stories. Afterwards, I ended up not doing it because I thought I wouldn&’t be as good as Gou&’s version.&”—Junji Ito (Uzumaki, Black Paradox)

Par Kathy Wang. 2025
How do we live so that we are satisfied? How can people connect during moments of loneliness? This is the…
story of Joan Liang, a woman who moves across the world to America, and in trying to answer these questions builds a wildly original life.Joan&’s life is a series of unexpected events: she never thought she would live in California, nor did she expect her first marriage to implode—especially as quickly and spectacularly as it did. She definitely did not expect to fall in love with an older, wealthy American man and become his fourth wife and mother to his youngest children. Joan and her children grow older, and one day she makes a drastic change: she opens the Satisfaction Café, a place where customers can find connection through conversation. With humor and grace, Joan creates a space for meaningful relationships and constructs a lasting legacy. Vivid, comic, and profoundly moving, The Satisfaction Café is a novel about found family, the joy and loneliness that come with age, and how we can seek satisfaction at any stage of life. This is a novel of tremendous pleasures: sentences that teem with rich observations, wonderful plotting, and, in Joan, a protagonist for the ages.
