Love in the Palm of His Hand by Rinteku - Vol. 1

“To think that just what I’ve always wanted to hear would come from someone I just met.”
Fujinaga is a university student who dreams of becoming an actor so he can do what he loves
best—conveying emotion and story through physical expression. But after failing multiple
auditions, his hopes are dashed and his confidence crushed. When he meets Keito, a fellow
student with congenital hearing loss, Fujinaga is suddenly introduced to the world of sign
language. Although clumsy at first, Fujinaga quickly picks up signing and surprises Keito with his
astonishing talent of expressing emotions through action.

Is it that only in a place beyond all verbal limitations can two people, both yearning to be
understood, forge a bond they never expected?

Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint (novel), Vol. 1. 

The global hit fantasy novel finally coming to print in English! 

Struggling office worker Dokja Kim’s sole joy in life is an online novel so obscure that he’s its only reader. Then one day the story comes to an end...and so does the world. Horrific monsters prowling the streets, ordinary people forced to kill or be killed, and Goblins gleefully streaming all this carnage to a celestial audience—with the apocalypse straight out of his favorite novel unfolding around him, Dokja is the only one who can see this story to the finale!
