This left an odd gap between episodes seven and eight of that series—where we go from Ainz d...

Although nominally an artbook, this might be just as easily described as a collection of folklore. ― “Shigeru Mizuki,” translator and scholar Zack Davisson says in his introductory essay, “lived in a vibrant fantasy world where every tree, every blade of grass was infused with spiritual energy.” If any one thing comes through in this collection of Mizuki's artwork, it is this – there's a deeply roote...
