WINNER OF THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD AND THE PRIX DU MEILLEUR LIVRE ÉTRANGER The Centaur is a modern retelling of the legend of Chiron, the noblest and wisest of the centaurs, who, painfully wounded yet unable to die, gave up his immortality on behalf of Prometheus. In the retelling, Olympus becomes small-town Olinger High School; Chiron is George Caldwell, a science teacher there; and Prometheus is Caldwell’s fifteen-year-old son, Peter. Brilliantly conflating the author’s remembered past with tales from Greek mythology, John Updike translates Chiron’s agonized search for relief into the incidents and accidents of three winter days spent in rural Pennsylvania in 1947. The result, said the judges of the National Book Award, is “a courageous and brilliant account of a conflict in gifts between an inarticulate American father and his highly articulate son.”

Himeno is a sweet, shy girl, who like many teens her age, struggles with the trials and tribulations of attending high school. The difference is she's a centaur; but she's not alone. In fact, all of her classmates are supernatural creatures, sporting either horns, wings, tails, halos, or some other unearthly body appendage. Yet despite their fantastical natures, Himeno and her best friends―the dragon-winged Nozomi, and Kyoko with her spiraled horns―are down-to-earth, fun-loving teenagers who grapple with issues of life and love in a mostly normal daily school setting.

LEARNING TO LIVE TOGETHER Himeno and her classmates return from their class trip and learn what their families were doing while they were gone. Meanwhile, a gang war heats up between the Amphibianfolk and the mammalian races, and the Chi-chans transform themselves into cats. Enjoy Volume 20 of this charming manga celebrating the daily lives of a host of non-human characters!

LET’S GET PHYSICAL Sports Day comes to Shin Kanata High School! Himeno’s centaur body offers both advantages and challenges, but Himeno is determined to succeed...even if it means wearing a boy’s uniform! The other students show off their own abilities as well. Meanwhile, the Tutulitele Universal Alliance Central Committee takes up a petition from the Meameateles for political rights—a move that could dramatically transform this entire society.
