Master manipulator Megumi Hino-Hano-chan is enraged by her failure to bring down timid Yaya Higuchi - and her alter ego, the confident and boisterous Nana. Using the singing contract that Yaya desperately wishes to null and void as a means to her mean-spirited ends, Hano-chan makes Yaya an offer. So Hano-chan decides to take the ultimate revenge. She will rip it up . . if Yaya agrees to play a little game with her. If Yaya can catch Hano-chan and steal the contract, Hano will cancel the agreement and return the application fee. Sounds simple, right? But there's a little hitch. Yaya must chase Hano while they're skydiving!

Prefabricated and modular homes are essentially buildings whose components are built at a factory, then shipped and assembled on site on a foundation that has been constructed in advance. These homes were once viewed as nothing more than modest, inexpensive shelters, lacking in any design aesthetic and offering only the basics required for habitation. This is no longer the case. Prefab design has emerged as a way for the design - and cost - conscious generation to achieve the dream of home ownership. Today, prefab houses are manufactured to the highest standards of construction and aesthetics. Repetitive, linear configurations once made a prefabricated house easy to spot. Architects are using new construction technologies and materials to create complex designs that make every prefabricated home look custom-designed. Clients are able to choose among a variety of modules to arrive at a home that is uniquely their own. And thanks to the internet, these houses can be ordered from all over the world. European architects have long embraced the notion that prefab design has merits, and many of their designs have inspired many U.S. architectural firms to create distinct lines of modular and prefab housing. Today, new models and designs, like cars, are being introduced on an almost annual basis. Elaborate plans and drawings accompany each project, and the book offers a broad geographical range of homes from the U.S., Europe, Asia and Australia.

Japanese edition of the best grahic novel of all times. Part one of three.

"Forbidden Lego" deals with computers/software. It just may be impossible to exhaust the creative potential of LEGO® bricks. With an active imagination as your guide, there are endless possibilities-provided you follow the LEGO Company's official (and sensible) rules. This means no cutting or tampering with bricks, creating models that shoot unapproved projectiles, or using non-standard parts with any LEGO product. After all, those little precision-moulded ABS bricks can be dangerous on the wrong hands! Well, toss those rules out the window. Forbidden LEGO introduces you to the type of free-style building that LEGO's master builders do for fun in the back room. Using LEGO bricks in combination with common household materials (from rubber bands and glue to plastic spoons and ping-pong balls) along with some very unorthodox building techniques, you'll learn to create working models that LEGO would never endorse. Try your hand at a toy gun that shoots LEGO plates, a candy catapult, a high voltage LEGO vehicle, a continuous-fire ping-pong ball launcher, and other useless but incredibly fun inventions. Once you get into the spirit, you'll want to try inventing your own rule-breaking models. Forbidden Lego's authors share tips and tricks that will inspire you and help you turn your visions into reality. Nothing's against the rules in this book!
