What could possibly connect two solitary beings-a former Opéra de Paris dancer and an elusive man whom everyone fears? New York, 1954. On the roof of an apartment building, a young woman patiently tends to her beehives and seems to be longing for someone or something. In the building across the street lives a kingpin of crime, isolated from the world, except for one mysterious weekly outing. They don't know each other, but they can see one another. Between them, the void, a police car, and a private fenced-in park under lock and key. Gramercy Park is one of those rare graphic novels that defies the obvious and clichéd, allowing the reader the freedom to wander in this mysterious adventure and get lost in the poetic script of Timothée de Fombelle and embrace the delicate drawings and muted colors of Christian Cailleaux.

To truly be considered a butler of the highest caliber, Hayate needs more than just punctuality, an unwavering sense of loyalty, and the ability to keep his mistress out of tight situations. He'll also need to develop the ultimate fighting technique! Despite his best efforts, though, the butler-in-debt seems incapable of keeping out of duels. Thankfully, this time it's a non-life-threatening kendo match. Rating: T+
For reasons of no major concern or importance, butler-in-debt Hayate has to leave the Sanzenin mansion for a three-day, two-night trip. Though he has no particular place to go or reason to be there, Hayate does have one thing that's rarely in his possession - money, one million yen from Maria, to be exact. Well, he thought he had some money. Steering clear of gambling should be easy enough, but will cash-strapped classmates and impromptu medical bills leave Hayate's billfold as bleak and barren as his future? Rating: T+
Hayate owes a debt of gratitude to Hinagiku--the cute, sporty, and all around perfect-in-every-conceivable-way student body president--and as her March 3rd birthday draws near, the bankrupt butler tries hard to come up with an appropriate present. But with final exams on the horizon, will he have time to prepare Hinagiku a heartfelt gift and pass his classes? Later, an ancient curse makes Hayate appear as if he's wearing women's clothing--and if it isn't broken, Hayate will be doomed to live out the rest of his days in drag! But, seeing as he looks really cute in a maid's uniform, maybe that isn't a bad thing...

But things aren't any easier for the girls without crushes on him, as Saki accidentally reveals her feelings for Wataru, and Chiharu accidentally reveals her double life as a maid. Plus, and the Movie Study Club deliberately exposes the world to the greatest cat video ever made.
