This month we had a huge celebration of love & romance, and to fit that theme we’re spotlighting one of the darkest (and scariest) romances from the master mangaka of psychological thrillers, Shuzo Oshimi, by featuring Happiness as the focus of our Throwback Thursday sale!

Learn about Happiness: Nothing interesting in happening in Makoto Ozaki’s first year of high school. HIs life is a series of quiet humiliations: low-grade bullies, unreliable friends, and the constant frustration of his adolescent lust. But one night, a pale, thin girl knocks him to the ground in an alley and offers him a choice. Now everything is different. Daylight is searingly bright. Food tastes awful. And worse than anything is the terrible, consuming thirst. The tiny shames of his old life have been replaced by two towering horrors: the truth of what will slake his awful craving and high school itself.

To save big during the Happiness Throwback Thursday spotlight sale just visit one of our participating digital vendors: Bookwalker, Kindle, Google Play, Nook, Kobo, izneo, MyAnimeList and more!
