Magus of the Library is her latest series, now being released in English by Kodansha Comics.
Publisher Marketing: A story about a poor boy swept away by a kind library mage and the (literal) magic of reading, Magus of the Library is a beautifully-drawn, spirited fantasy adventure, like a Fullmetal Alchemist for all ages!
