One day, as he was being threatened by a group of gangsters, supermodel Takami Ukon sees him and is impressed by Shin's superiority in fighting against the gangsters. As fate would have it, Ukon discovers how Shin's bad luck has landed him in a huge debt involving an imported car. Shin's only option is to repay the money via monthly installments by finding a part-time job. Ukon meets Shin at school the following day and proceeds to explain that he saw the whole incident by accident, but promises not to tell anyone. He then offers Shin a job as his bodyguard. The initially skeptical Shin is later enticed by the high wages and signs a contract with Ukon.Ukon transfers to Meikyo High School ends up in the same class as Shin. Whenever both of them are together, they become involved in more trouble than either would have been in if he were alone. Eventually Shin confesses to Ukon that he seems to 'attract disaster and bad luck'. To his amazement, Ukon admits that he has the same problem.Predictably, the duo become quite popular at school; beautiful but wild Shin and handsome supermodel Ukon. Even so, no one knows about the fact that Shin is Ukon's bodyguard, as it was agreed that the matter should be kept confidential because Shin could not bear to let Houshou senpai (his benefactor) worry about his huge debt.

Many new characters appear as the story progresses, and the ensuing drama and hilarity make this manga well worth a read for any BL fan.

Canadian comics publisher Drawn & Quarterly has distinguished itself during its four years of publishing by releasing a wonderfully idiosyncratic series of comic book serials notable for an emphasis on autobiographical stories, loose expressive drawing styles and characters either stuck on or passing through the social margins. This beautifully produced trade paperback collects work from D&Q's equally quirky, eponymous quarterly anthology and presents shorter pieces by some of the best young comic artists of the moment. Michael Dougan ( I Can't Tell You Anything ) contributes ``Black Cherry,'' another of his ``dumb job'' stories that recreates the parade of oddballs and crazies that frequent an ice cream parlour where he used to work. Maurice Vellekoops (who contributed the richly colored, ``scandalously'' funny cover art) presents ``The 8 pillars of Gay Culture'' and ``Homoman,'' both of which happily exploit gay sterotypes (`` `did you hire a decorator?' `Of course not; I'm a homosexual.' '') with mischievous, politically incorrect wit. Also note Debbie Drechsler's disturbing (and nicely drawn) ``Visitors in the Night'' on child sexual exploitation; and Joe Matt, Mr. Peep Show himself, who would like to share his darkest secret with us--it's crude and very funny--whether we want to know it or not. Also includes Carol Tyler, Roberta Gregory, David Mazzucchelli, Mary Fleener and others.

Ragnarok...the Twilight of the Gods in Norse mythology...the destruction of the Nine Worlds. And now, three hundred years later, the birth of vengeance. Ragnarök, the doom of the gods, has finally occurred. But the long-held belief that evil would be destroyed along with the gods in that final conflagration proved false. Only the gods died. The Nine Worlds collapsed and became the Dusk Lands, a vast twilight realm inhabited by men, trolls, demons, and shattered kingdoms, under the tyranny of the Great Enemies. After hundreds of years, a single god emerged into the post-Ragnarök world, Thor, the God of Thunder. But Angantyr, the Lord of the Dead, has discovered his reappearance, and unleashes his draugar, the undead walkers, against the Thunder God, seeking to destroy the last vestige of the former worlds, and the only hope for the present one.
