An alien parasite living inside of Minoru Utsugi gives him the power of Isolation—an unbreakable shield that surrounds his body. With this power, he’s managed to defeat an evil Ruby Eye. Having done so, he’s invited by the Accelerator—a girl named Yumiko—to join a mysterious organization whose goal is to defend humanity from the threat of the Ruby Eyes. Minoru agrees to join, with one condition: Once he has fulfilled his duty, the Syndicate will erase all memory of his existence from the world—for Minoru seeks a world without any knowledge of him, a world of total and perfect isolation.

But his next enemy is cunning and deadly, with the ability to manipulate oxygen itself: the Igniter. In the face of this all-consuming inferno, what will become of the Isolator?

The goal of the Yen Press rating system is to provide parents, librarians, and retailers with as much information about the contents of our books as simply and concisely as possible. Ultimately, opinions about appropriateness of content for a particular reader are a subjective matter and likely to vary from person to person. However, this is a useful tool to give readers some sense of what they may expect.

Yen’s ratings are structured in two tiers: age ratings (A, T, OT, M) and content indicators (L, V, S, N). Age ratings indicate a maturity threshold below which some parents or guardians may find the content unsuitable. Content indicators provide insight as to the material within the book that prompted a particular age rating. The frequency and/or severity of that material is reflected in the age rating.

AGE RATINGS

All Readers An “A” rating indicates that the material contained within the book has been deemed unlikely to be found inappropriate for any particular age group.

Teen A “T” rating indicates that there may be content within a book that some parents or guardians may consider inappropriate for children under the age of 13.

Older Teen An “OT” rated book contains material that some parents or guardians may consider inappropriate for readers under the age of 16.

Mature An “M” rated book is intended for a mature readership and may be considered inappropriate for readers under the age of 18.

CONTENT INDICATORS

= Language = Sexual Situations

= Violence = Nudity
