EDITOR'S NOTE: Just as renowned novelists are often skilled at crafting short stories, skilled mangakas can excel at creating one-shots. (It’s a pity that once serialization begins they often lack the time to dedicate to one-shots!) Jonathan, in particular, is a master of one-shots. The protagonist of his latest creation is Ivan, a mage on an exhilarating quest to fulfill his desires—all while paying a steep price for extraordinary ability to manipulate time.
