It’s hard to believe we’re hurtling toward the end of summer. Don’t worry – we have great finds to brighten your day! We’re celebrating one of the most popular manga series of the last decade, Demon Slayer; the epic franchise that is Star Wars; the stunning art of Elden Ring; Ridley Scott’s genre-defining movie, Alien; and the boy who wants to be the strongest man on Earth, Hanma Yujiri. Let’s get into it.
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Complete Manga Box Set by Koyoharu Gotouge
One of the most popular and best-selling Shueisha manga of all time, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba tells the story of Tanjiro Kamado, a teenager who becomes a Demon Slayer after his family is slaughtered and his sister, Nezuko, is turned into a demon. Mangaka Koyoharu Gotouge is known for their distinctive art style and emotive work. The manga does not shy away from difficult topics, confronting its readers with themes of love, loss, grief, and despair. Throughout it all, however, Tanjiro remains empathetic, good-hearted, and hopeful. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is a beautiful story with all the elements of a great manga: action, humor, and compelling characters you will remember forever.

Star Wars: Complete Movie Collection, Movies 1-9
The Star Wars franchise has been featured in our Finds of the Week articles a number of times and with good reason. This epic franchise has thrived for 45 years, ever since the release of Episode IV: A New Hope in 1979. To date, there are nine movies detailing the main storyline – the rise and fall of Jedi masters, the efforts of the Rebel Alliance against the Galactic Empire, and the Jedi who must choose the light side of the Force to protect the galaxy. The nine movies tell a fascinating tale that spans multiple generations and explores the fight between good and evil from different perspectives. Whether you choose to watch them in chronological order or the order in which they are released, filling in the background of some of the most pivotal characters in a heart-wrenching series of events, every Star Wars fan should own the complete collection. Get it now on Amazon.
