Volume 1: The Mundane Revolution

"If you were reincarnated into a magical world, what kind of life would you lead?"

Upon reaching the age of nine, dozens of children across the Growing World regain the memories of their previous lives on Earth and try to come to terms with their new situations. Met with a strange and magical world, finding a practicable answer to this question became an urgent matter for many.

Discovering his new world's access to magic had stunted the development of Empyrical Science, Doro's answer is to recruit older crafters and researchers to start an industrial revolution while remaining under the radar by letting others take credit.

Being reborn alone, in a strange forest, and in the body of an owl, Emi found herself with a different set of priorities. Somehow recovering a pair of arms, reuniting with her old friends, and funding her endeavors by taking credit for Earth's music.

They are not alone in this, as the natural disaster behind their death claimed a great number of their former fellow university students, all with their own personal dreams and hangups.

Although their first lives were cut short, a new beginning awaits all of them in the Growing World. Watch their first steps as they settle into their new lives and start gradually changing the world as it changes them in return, and see whether their decisions get them branded as trailblazers, or as lunatics.

Walking Your Octopus: A Guidebook to the Domesticated Cephalopod

★ 4.54

Brian Kesinger

A beautifully produced and richly illustrated book that showcases the day-to-day adventures of independent girl-about-town Victoria Prismall and her pet land octopus Otto. Thirty panoramic, full-page illustrations humorously chronicle the duo's home and social activities that include (among other things) bathing, biking, dating, cooking, playing croquet, and pumpkin carving. Accompanying text explains the "do"s and "don't"s of living with a large land octopus. The book's art is extremely detailed, and each illustration tells its own visual story. The Victorian era characters and period-influenced design elements combine to create a wonderful, collectible art-object for those who still value the classic elegance of ink-on-paper. The hardcover binding is plussed with two-layer embossing and spot varnish, and the interior is printed on extra heavy paper. An exquisite volume for lovers of books, art and pets.

Isa McQuiston is caught between two worlds

Strange creatures are attacking her people, the injuries inflicted beyond her medical expertise. Men tossed ashore by the waves, drained of blood, a severed tentacle piercing their flesh. Any hope of finding answers involves forging a cautious alliance with a handsome outsider.
