On Shadow Moses Island, a black-ops mission unfolds again, but this time in fourteen-line bursts. Metal Gear Sonnets replays the iconic 1998 game as a formally inventive sequence that moves through codec calls, boss battles, hostage scenes and end credits, letting lyric tenderness and brutal comedy share the same frame. Laurie Eaves writes with the precision of a speedrunner and the ear of a poet, turning stealth mechanics into meditation, nuclear threat into contemporary dread, and pixel snow into something that can still cut skin.

These poems break and remake the sonnet again and again: concrete text, glitch-speech, footnotes, and sudden turns into the real world (Chornobyl, Stuxnet, Hiroshima) as the book asks what we save, what we repeat, and what we call heroism when the controller is in our hands.

Frequently asked questions

You’ve asked, we answered.

Visit FAQ Page

Do you offer free shipping?

We offer free shipping on all orders over $75.

As a small, growing shop, we partner with trusted distributors to ship books directly to you. This allows us to offer a much wider selection while we build toward our first physical space.

We also use tiered shipping, which means the more you add to your cart, the lower the shipping cost per book becomes. So that means, even if you’re not quite at $75 yet, it often makes sense to grab one more volume and save overall.

Why shop with you instead of big retailers?

Every order supports a small, Latina-owned manga shop built by real fans who care deeply about the stories, the art, and the culture around it.

We curate with intention, not algorithms, and we’re building something bigger than a storefront: a space for collectors, readers, and fans to connect.

What is your return policy?

Because of how we currently fulfill orders, we’re not able to accept general returns at this time.

The only exception is if your order arrives damaged or incorrect. If you experience either, please reach out to us at casitademanga@gmail.com
and we’ll be more than happy to personally help you with a damage/error return.

Can I cancel or change my order?

We move quickly to get your order on its way.

If you need to make a change, contact us as soon as possible and we’ll do our best to catch it before it ships. Once it’s on the way, we’re unable to modify the order.
