{ "item_title" : "Half of the Crown", "item_author" : [" Ro Higashi "], "item_description" : "When Penny Chiu, a girl haunted by the unseen world, is invited to a new school, she didn't expect to be sharing a space with the standoffish yet kind Issei Akuzawa, much less her soul; however, their bond might be the deciding factor in an ancient conflict as it finally comes to a head. With nearly 17k readers on Webtoon, Ro Higashi's Half of the Crown is well established, and CLP is proud to bring you the first ever print edition. As Ro observes, this new version has some enhancements: As a kid, I wanted to be a writer. I had no idea I was dyslexic, and a 3rd grade teacher told me I was a bad writer. So in a fit of ODD, I decided from then on, I would draw my stories instead, dyslexia be damned. Some of the speech in the book is refined from the webtoon panels. Since I wrote those parts when I wasn't managing my dyslexia well, the printed comic is more concise and easier to follow, in my opinion, although the story remains the same. Half of the Crown is a deeply personal work for Ro. The older I get, the more vulnerability scares me, she says. My comic and my work mirrors a lot of the things I am afraid of. Reading my comic is like getting to know me. On the surface, my comic appears harmless, sweet, and maybe 'adorkable.' As you read a lot more into it and invest time, you may realize there is this huge mess that totally changes your view about what you thought you were agreeing to read. My hope is that you stick around, and stay invested in the story and characters along with all its changes, twists and turns. Similar to how I hope people still stay friends with me even after they find out more about me.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers1.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/898/710/9798987108352_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "15.00", "online_price" : "15.00", "our_price" : "15.00", "club_price" : "15.00", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
