Synopsis
The year is 1924, the place, Sauville, a small European country neatly tucked beside the Alps...
Kazuya Kujo has been studying abroad at the prestigious Saint Marguerite Academy, where urban legends and horror stories are all the rage. Most Kazuya ignores but the story of the Queen Berry, a mysterious ghost ship, really gets to him. Of course, his brainy friend Victorique is much more intrigued by true stories, and she uses her unrivaled logic to solve mysteries even the town's famous detective can't. Ironically, it is Victorique's inquisitive nature that leads the duo to board a ship that matches the Queen Berry's description to a tee, a ship that might just hold the key to solving a sinister mystery...

Alice the 101st
manga 1
Short, cute and prone to outburst, Alistair (or Alice as he comes to be dubbed by his peers) is the story's go-get-em lead with a hazy past and an unsure future as he aims to fulfill his Grandfather's wishes. Conveniently, and expectantly, Alistair also seems to be a natural when it comes to the violin – whether he's a natural prodigy or a natural disaster amidst his peers however remains to be seen. His basic skills at playing are non-existent, his patience for it fleeting and his experience minimal. But, get him to play a song he likes from memory and he can play with the best of them. Those of any creative background should find the showcased difference of raw ability and hard-earned skill to be relatable, both in how a teacher struggles to teach Alistair the methods he's so sorely lacking and in turn Alistair's dislike of being forced through the tedious memorization and repetition of the most basic proficiency.
