Araizumi Rui

A hodge-podge of materials from Araizumi's files, along with short, silly comics from Slayers and a new project: The Butler, The Mazoku, and the Young Mistress.

Cancelled while on hiatus

After meeting the enigmatic woman Hureika in a sideside village during her travels, the beautiful genius sorceress Lina Inverse’s fate takes a dramatic turn. Separated from her partner Gourry, she finds herself swept ashore onto an unfamiliar land. Faced with violent monsters, she is suddenly unable to wield her magic…. But her grand adventures only begin once she is saved by Lyos, a boy who claims himself to be the “Knight of the Aqua Lord”…. An alternate retelling of the Slayers TRY anime.

Young sorceress Lina Inverse and her dim-witted sidekick Gourry Gabriev travel through a somewhat medieval setting, doing good and fighting evil. Well, by "doing good and fighting evil" I mean "stealing from corrupt rich people and blowing things up". The stories in this volume are occasional tie-ins to the novels and short stories.
