When the powers of a Corn Farmer from Iowa are revealed, the global stage is his to shine on as the world wonders how far he will go.

¡Manshiown! Cinco amigos de la infancia, separados con el tiempo por razones que no recuerdan -o tal vez simplemente olvidaron-, vuelven a reencontrarse uno por uno, gracias a los curiosos azares del destino. Tras reunirse, quedan en una mansión que los recibe: amable, curiosa, casi humana. Pero pronto entenderán que no es un lugar, sino un ser que busca buenas interpretaciones... y que los necesita para saciar su curiosidad o simplemente entretenerse. Cada capítulo los arrastra a un nuevo escenario, un lugar distinto donde deberán actuar, sobrevivir... y, en teoría, no fallar o morir mientras protagonizan un espectáculo. A veces es un mundo donde todos tienen orejas y cola de caballo sin motivo, basicamente se vuelven kemonomimis; otras, un desierto cubierto por un silencio espeso y una oscuridad que borra el horizonte y solo ves gasolineras, minimarkets y faros en la nada, sirviendo de islas en medio de la oscuridad. En otra ocasión aparecen vestidos de payasos en un circo, donde deben generar risas de cualquier forma posible, para ganar la quincena y poder pagar la renta. Y, en otra, son reducidos a seres computarizados dentro de un mundo ilógico donde 5+5 = "patata", lo cual es algo que tu ira desata y nada parece responder a regla alguna. Y otras veces... son simples estudiantes de academia. No hay meta ni guion a seguir: al final, todo es un guion en blanco, y la única regla parece ser continuar con la obra, sin importar a dónde los lleve... aunque nadie les asegura que Manshiown quede satisfecho con el resultado, y cuando no lo está, impone castigos lo bastante efectivos como para recordarles lo que significa fracasar. Nadie sabe capítulo vendrá ni qué escenario, acompañado de sus extras, será el siguiente. Manshiown tiene su propio sentido del humor: reparte papeles, guiones en blanco y una producción digna de un director con problemas mentales. Porque en Manshiown, cada capítulo es un mundo, y cada mundo, una obra con su propio público y extras... que aplauden incluso cuando alguien casi muere (o se tropieza con su propio talón).

MEET ELLIS KADE (The Cleanser): Ellis Kade, 32, is one of the most sought-after cleansers in the city. Tall, gaunt, with silver-streaked dark hair and eyes that seem perpetually bruised, she moves through the world like a ghost. She's been cleansing for fifteen years, ever since her own mother's grief-rot claimed her when Ellis was seventeen. Ellis discovered her ability by accident—consuming her mother's decay in a desperate attempt to save her. She failed. Her mother died anyway, but Ellis survived, forever changed. Now Ellis operates from a converted brownstone on the city's edge, taking clients by referral only. She's meticulous, professional, distant. She cleanses with clinical precision, never taking more than she can handle, never forming attachments. She's learned that grief is contagious in more ways than one—absorb too much of someone's sorrow, and you start to live their life in your dreams, feel their losses as your own. Ellis has rules: No repeat clients (addiction risk), no children (their grief tastes like battery acid), and never, ever cleanse someone you know personally (the psychic contamination is too severe).

Inside the Endless Abyss, multiple realms existed. Between these realms, a peak Supreme God once fought with multiple Eternal Gods. Overwhelmed, the Supreme God sacrificed its life in order to pass on the power of the legendary Superior. In the process, powerful waves struck the Eternal Gods, gravely injuring them. Enraged, they placed a Cursed Rift on the realm of Salvador, home of the once alive Supreme God. Cursed by the Eternal Gods, a time rip opened inside the realm, pouring out a large amount of Cursed Beings. This event was widely known as the Cursed Awakening. In the realm of Salvador, magic was common-place. In order to fend off Cursed Beings, magic became essential. Although it was a extremely minuscule chance, one could be born without magic powers. Ever since Aaron was born, he had never had a link with magic. However, only two people in history had been born without magic, including Aaron. The first non-magic user was a man named Arthur, who was also worshipped as a Supreme Being, the top of the existence rating. The reason for this was because although Arthur had been born without magic, he suddenly awakened an unknown power after being appraised by the Magic Association. The association was famously known for its appraisal abilities. If one had no magic, the appraisal would only display "None". However, when Arthur was appraised, it displayed as Unknown. This power was actually known as the legendary Superior. It was just that the appraisers were too weak to see the ability name. The power of Superior allowed Arthur to ascend to Supreme rating. Arthur was also the one who caused the Cursed Rift. On the other hand, Aaron, the second person known without a magic ability, was entirely different. For his whole life, he had never awakened. The people of Salvador therefore branded Aaron useless. However, from that point on, everything changed. [Ding! Arthur the Supreme Being has granted you his power. Are you willing to accept it?]

My name is Max of course no one knows that anymore as it's been 30 years since I was killed for reasons I didn't even do or know. My story begins with me being pushed of a cliff. It's a rather unpleasant feeling knowing you're going to die, being able to feel your body become paste as you hit the ground. Of course, that would have been the end of me had it not been for 'him'. A being who gave me power and a mission that to this day I don't know what it's for. The cover is not mine and I am unaware of who the author is.
