• Anime:
  
  1. Cardcaptor Sakura episodes 17-46
     - Rewatch marathon.
     - What a fun series.
     - Sakura is just too cute so are her friends. The characters are just so great.
• Manga:
  
  1. Shirayuki aux cheveux rouges 6-8 by Sorata Akiduki - in French
     - Continue with kidnapped/pirate arc.
     - Prince Raji seems to get more and more mature unlike the spoiled prince of the first volume. He has such adorable siblings.
     - Zen!
     - I like Prince Izana more and more. He's capable and his character isn't fully revealed yet. Maybe he has a brother complex. He seems to know Zen well and protective of him, too.
     - The series switched from LalaDX to Lala with the new arc. The characters are introduced again. The play is fun :)
     - New arc begins mid volume 8, Ryu and Shirayuki were sent to a mission up north.
  2. Gisele Alain 4 by Sui Kasai - in French
     - Eric continued to be a ghost writer.
     - Gisele sent Eric a letter, but she hasn't gotten any reply from him, so she hasn't sent more letters even though she didn't stop writing them.
     - A circus came to town, she and Guy were helping out with a circus. She was in charge of taking care of the children of the circus lady boss who wanted to stop the nomad life and settled down so her 3 children could live a normal life. However, her first born wanted to perform in the circus much to her disagreement. Conflicts arose. Gisele then followed the circus to the next town where Eric lived.
     - She went to visit him, but he hid from her. In the end since this is Gisele, he failed :) and it was a cliff hanger!!!!!

• Via Manga Conseil, Akata licenses Daisy by Reiko Momochi, the author of Confidential Confessions.
• At ANN, House of 1000 Manga featured From Far Away by Kyoko Hikawa. It's still one of my favorite series and she's one of my favorite mangaka, if only other series of her gets licensed.
