Boom!
A loud explosion echoed through the air.
Deep in the Death Forest, on a wide-open clearing, the outermost petals of a crimson lotus got smashed to bits by a massive gray-white snake.

After getting a solid grasp on the skills he was about to train, Seimei didn’t stick around the house. He grabbed his gear real quick and headed out to the Uchiha clan’s training grounds.
But when he got there? Ugh, it was already packed. Seimei wasn’t exactly afraid of people—he’s not some social hermit—but with all the secrets he’s lugging around, an...

About this project on Monroe, Dunn gave it the green light. Not right now, though—maybe in the future when the timing’s better, we can get it rolling.
Manola Dagis was pumped. She felt like she’d finally met a boss who got her. “There’s also this one called Girl, Interrupted. It’s by Susanna Kaysen, her autobiography. I think it’s got real potential for an ad...
