And May ushers in two -- Lunar Legend Tsukihime #1 and Raxephon Novel #1 ? With Lunar Legend Tsukihime, A childhood accident has left young Shiki Tohno with a very special ability. He can now see the hidden lines or weak points in all things -- be they organic or inanimate. By striking or cutting along these lines Shiki can slice through virtually anything like a hot knife through butter. Unfortunately the gift comes packaged with a nearly irresistible urge to kill using his new ability. A young girl falls victim to Shiki's killing lust. Yet she is apparently reborn unharmed and demanding Shiki's aid. Who is she and what could she want?

Our final Springtime heavy hitter also released in May is the Raxephon Novel #1. More action and giant robots await in the Rahxephon novel. Relive events from the anime plus untold stories from a 1st person perspective, seen through the eyes of the various characters in the Raxephon mythos. Tokyo has been quarantined off from the rest of the world in every way, by the mysterious otherworldly "Mu". As a result, a new liberation force rises from the confusion to free Tokyo from their alien captors. As you can see, 2005 is an exciting new year for this newly forged publishing marvel.
