Why this caught my eye:
This gives me a Delicious In Dungeon vibe, and a communication based fantasy story sounds like it could be exceedingly charming.

A deluxe box set of exclusive hardcover editions. Contains all five best-selling volumes of the The Legend of Zelda: Legendary Edition series. The battle for Hyrule and the Sacred Realm has begun!

Why this caught my eye:
I'm just a sucker for a cleverly designed box set of books. The softcovers were $17.99 a pop, so that set would normally cost you $90. The $125 for this package is decent considering these are an exclusive HC set, so you're only paying $35 for the format upgrade and a nice case.
RAINBOW & BLACK GN VOL 01
(W) Eri Takenashi (A/CA) Eri Takenashi
A charming slice-of-life manga about a girl and the strange creature in her home. College student Shirahoshi Kuroe feels like she's living in black and white, and she longs for more excitement... until a small, rainbow, incredibly weird bird-thing brings color to her life. Now they live together. Is this creature just a pet, or is it more like a roommate? Penned by Eri Takenashi, a prolific Japanese artist best known for the manga (and anime) Kannagi, Kanpachi, and Take-Moon/Carnival Phantasm, this unique manga series is sure to move right into your heart.

Why this caught my eye:
Look, considering all of 2020, I need all the charming and heartwarming stories I can find. Do yourself a favor as well and when a manga looks this cute just go for it.
That does it for this batch! I'll aim for some more horror for the next installment!
