Gyakusatsu Mahou Shoujo Belial☆Strawberry

Action Demons Fantasy

In the past, the three realms of the Underworld, the Earth, and the Heavens were separate. Demons lived in the Underworld, humans lived on Earth, and the fairies lived in the Heavens. However, ten years ago, the demons invaded the Earth. Now they rule the Earth, and all of humanity are their slaves. They still have jobs, attend school, and so forth, but they all live in fear. If a human offends a demon, even by accident or by doing nothing at all, they can't stop the demon from killing them. One special human girl, Osoreyama Miyako, sees the state of the world, sees the path her pitiful life will follow, and decides to end it all. The humans aren't the only ones concerned with the demon takeover. The fairy Jin has been sent to right the balance of the three realms. However, by old treaty, she can't fight demons directly. She must make some human into a magic girl to fight in the defense of humanity. The naive, idealistic fairy chooses Miyako to be her magic girl. On the very night Miyako plans to take her own life, Jin forms the contract and dubs her "Belial Strawberry." To Jin's horror, though, Miyako does not have a heart full of the love of justice. Her heart is full of anger, bitterness, and despair. When Jin makes her a magic girl, all Miyako hears is that now she will have the power to slaughter her oppressors. After she brutally murders a demon in public, in the defense of a helpless cat, the newspapers name her "Slaughter Magic Girl Belial Strawberry," and her story begins! (Source: MangaHelpers)

Historical Slice of Life

They are burning Japanese cars in Detroit. The top management at Toyosan Motors must decide whether to begin offshore production of its cars in the U.S. But our hero Mr. Kudo fears that offshore production will devastate the numerous local subcontractors of Toyosan, leading to a hollowing out of the auto industry in Japan, leaving only a financial shell. The American color TV industry has already suffered such a fate. The villain, Mr. Tsugawa, calls Kudo a wimp and sees a splendid opportunity for union busting. Will our hero prevail? Thus begins the first episode of this rollicking yet incisive introduction to the world economy from the Japanese point of view. Other episodes treat the appreciation of the yen, the impact of the 1970s oil shocks, deficit financing, the internationalization of business and banking, and the post-industrial future of Japan and the Pacific Rim. The book is an English edition of volume 1 of Manga Nihon Keizai Nyumon, originally published in 1986 by Nihon Keizai Shimbun, the Japanese equivalent of the Wall Street Journal. It is based on a serious introductory text put out by the newspaper and is packed with informative charts and facts. When the comic book was first published in Japan, it was an immediate best-seller, selling over 550,000 copies in less than a year. The stories in the book reflect Japan's national mood during the "Japanese miracle" and into the 1980s economic bubble: apprehension and optimism jostle one another, and there is a sense of national self-pity. The book also reflects a deep suspicion of politics and bureaucrats. The prime minister appears more worried about his government's popularity than about taking the right economic course. Ultimately, the employees at Toyosan Motors demonstrate that the success of the Japanese economy will not depend on natural resources or politics but on business practices that are ethical, socially responsible, and forward-looking (Source: University of California Press)
