The quest for a magic sword continues! Gourry and I try our luck in Solaria, where an innocent bit of weapons-based extortion leads to a full-on cloak-and-dagger conspiracy. Hoo boy. Next up, we hit the lake town of Crimson after the council puts out an all call for available sorcerers. See, they quietly want to quash a little insurrection that a local sorcerers' council leader started. (It's bad for business and all.) But when Gourry and I arrive on the scene, the true tragedy afoot isn't quite what we were led to believe. Needless to say, I've just about had it with all this shadowy intrigue. Frankly, I could go the rest of my life without ever seeing another demon again too. So, wait... what the heck are we doing back in Gyria City now?!

After all, this one turns out to be personal…

Proven appeal of subject: The anime has been in print in English almost non-stop for 20 years across multiple formats. The novel series has seen a revival in Japan, with three new novels being added in the recent years including a 30th anniversary edition. Genre staying power: A fantasy series steeped in humor and sword-and-sorcery tradition, Slayers combines action with classic character sand goofy gags to keep the reader coming back for more. The serialised storytelling also encourages returning for the next volume! Artwork: Multiple full-page illustrations (4 color and approx. 10 black-and-white per volume) add extra value and provide crossover appeal with the manga buying audience.
