Story and art by Ken Akamatsu.

Keitaro's triumphant return isn't going smoothly, and Kanako's devious impersonations of Naru hardly help matters. Hinata House isn't the only thing that's changed over the months, as Keitaro seems like a new man, and theories about a blonde-haired American girl, named 'Julie' abound. When Keitaro laughingly informs the girls that Julie was a gorilla, Naru and Kanako resume their competition for Keitaro's attention. It's going to be an uphill battle for Kanako, since Keitaro has no memory of his promise to run Hinata House as an inn with her. Desperate to win Keitaro, Kanako tricks him into making a promise to go to Tokyo U. with her in a cursed room of Hinata, no less. What ensues is a wild ride of deception and seduction, complete with marauding monkeys, a railway chase, and a battle royal with the police, all culminating with an epic climax on the rugged cliffs of Northern Japan!

Softcover, 5-in. x 7-in., 200 pages, B&W. Rated: T+

But as her robotic dog, Tink, reveals she's much more. Alyssa just wants to blend into a small college town in the Midwest, but certain powers of the Realm want her back. Fortunately, this so- called normal girl will find she has the ability to not only save herself, but stop the Realm entirely, and finally get back to a life of rock shows, parties and her comic shop job. THIS ISSUE: It appears that people Alyssa thought were friends were nothing more than assigned guardians. Or at least that's the hint she gets when three of them try to KILL her. A high paced chase away from the bloodthirsty servants of the Elders leaves Alyssa no options but to take a head first dive into the mouth of a portal whale - a risky move that lands her straight in the middle of the Midwestern United States. She's taken in by the rockabilly greaser who owns the comic shop she wakes up in front of, but his intentions are questionable. Meanwhile, the whereabouts of Alyssa's Robo-dog, Tink, and the guardian who follows her through the portal, are still unknown. Cover price $2.95.
