     - There are also shorts, about 1 or 2 pages long story of side characters: cat or boarders.
     - I meant to say last week that the art is very pretty, similar style as that of Kaoru Mori, the author of Emma.
  3. Baroque Knights 2 by Maki Fujita - in French.
     - Now that 4 of them moved to the special department but their uniforms hadn't been ready so they all stuck out like sore thumbs with their old uniforms.
     - Is Miyako a target of bullying? Bad things keep happening to her, books missing from her locker, water bucket falling on her...
     - It turned out that a jealous school mate wanted to find out her specialty which even she didn't know.
     - Katsuragi continued to pay special attention to Miyako and told her not to come back if she was allowed to have an outing. Miyako had a feeling that she had met Katsuragi before but couldn't remember when so she asked her mother about it on her trip. When she was little, she was lost for a couple days and a young boy brought her to a police station.
     - Chisako overheard Katsugari's telling Miyako to escape from school and worried. The cliffhanger was when Tachibana waited for Katsuragi.
  4. Seule la fleur sait 2-3 - The end by Rihito Takarai - in French.
     - Volume 1 (Only the flower knows) was released by DMP and I got the pdf. I'm curious on what happens to Misaki and Arikawa
     - Misaki's backstory his loneliness and insecurity.
  5. Shirayuki aux cheveux rouges 1 by Sorata Akiduki - in French.
     - a box from amazon.fr arrived last friday hence the onslaught of manga translated in French.
     - The French says the author's last name is Akiduki instead of Akizuki. I wonder why.
     - I was surprised that Shirayuki continued to be informal with Zen even after she found out that he was the second heir to the throne. I guess since he's the prince from a different country so she didn't have to show too much respect or they had been friends so she didn't need to change her way of speaking to him?
     - Zen's show up out of nowhere to rescue Shirayuki was a bit random. He just happened to be at the critical moment. True, Shirayuki was trying to escape by herself but wasn't successful ...
     - Some people aren't happy about Shirayuki's coming and going freely in the castle.
     - Shirayuki took exam to be a royal pharmacist to work in the place.
     - Onward to 2
     - The font used for 1/4 column is pretty but hard to read. So far I skipped them because it took effort and I want to move on with the story first. I will come back and read them later.
     - There's a cute short story about summer friendship and possibly love with an unexpected happy ending, all the tears and frets are for nothing :)
