When it comes to idol group Cham Jam, Eripiyo is the oldest -- and perhaps only -- fan of Maina Ichii. Through thick and thin, the dead heat of summer, torrential rain, and freezing snow, Eripiyo has been there to show her love for Maina. But when Maina gets injured during a concert, her determination to push through for the sake of her group both inspires and worries Eripiyo. How can she support her favorite idol while encouraging her to rest for her own sake? Meanwhile, Cham Jam is putting their all into growing their fanbase -- between collab events and breaking into videoblogging, the behind-the-scenes peek into their lives inspires a trip down memory lane. Yumeri considers how her feelings toward her idol career have grown and changed, while Maki worries that people from her past will come back to haunt her. A chance encounter between Maina and another fan results in a new realization that she needs to speak up more for herself. But maintaining the fine balance of their private lives and idol personas is harder than it seems...

The future has grown into a decadent, overcrowded gang-ridden cesspool. If you're not living uptown, you might as well be dead. Such is the case of Darius Smith, an artistic youth living in the hood, doing his best to avoid trouble and live life. Unfortunately, Darius has a hidden talent -- he's an explosive fighter! This makes him the target of several gangs and pits him in many brawls, landing him in the sight of the honorable Timothy Mustafa, a powerful prince. XOGENASYS is a successful gladiator sport fought with powered exoskeletons, and as the owner of one of the most successful teams in the country, Mustafa wants Darius to become his newest fighter. Can Darius become the next champion? Or will he fall like so many before him? "This is an underdog tale, and one that is effectively told; it feels reminiscent of a sports biopic with narrative. Something about the execution of this story feels raw and relatable. It might be the expressiveness in the art, or the way the dialogue matches how real people speak to each other. Regardless, XOGENASYS Volume 1 is a rousingly successful debut for Noir Caesar-I am fully invested for the ride and eagerly awaiting more." -- Marion Pena, The Comics Beat "Draper-Ivey's artwork gears toward gritty black-and-white with striking action scenes. It's a slow burn, but readers will easily root for the underdog protagonist as he battles his way out of poverty. Fans of shonen manga will line up for the next volume [of XOGENASYS]." -- Publishers Weekly
