Croquis Pop Vol. 1 GN (MAR08 4096, $10.99)
by SeoKwang Hyun & JinHo Ko
Welcome to the “Death Zone,” where only the dead can see! But there are only a few special people who can step into that zone and make the stories from the dead into art. They are called Croquers, and Da-Il is one of them — only he’s unaware of his power! As he starts his first day as an assistant manhwa artist, he has his first experience in the Death Zone!

Cynical Orange Vol. 4 GN (MAR08 4097, $10.99)
by Ji-Un Yoon
The life of the hottest girl in school is not easy. All the boys are in love with you and every girl in school is trying to destroy you. But Hye-min Hwang is not a delicate damsel in distress — she knows nothing is more satisfying than sweet revenge. Her first victim — MaHa, a playboy that’s been begging for her attention and dating her friend Bora at the same time!
