• Anime: All watching on CrunchyRoll
  
  1. My Love Story - Epi 7
     - Sumo wrestling!
  2. Rewatching Yona - Epi 1-2
     - Just because
• Manga: I am trying to go through my backlog.
  1. Rereading Kobato 1-6 by Clamp
     - Because I rewatched the anime last week, I wanted to reread the series!
  2. Il Gatto Sul G 3 - the end by Tooko Miyagi - pdf format
     - Mysteries revealed. The story ends satisfactorily and the characters do grow.
  3. Liselotte et la forêt des sorcières 3 by Natsuki Takaya - in French
     - Engetsu's story continues.
     - The household is increasing :)
     - Richard made his appearance.
  4. Le Chemin des Fleurs 11-12 by Ako Shimaki - in French
     - Hiroki's and Takeru's path to the top continue very differently.
     - Takeru is born to a family of prestige Kabuki so with hard work, he'll get there eventually. Now that he has the encouraging he needs and seeks, he's on the right path.
     - There's a 1 year time skip in book 11.
     - As for Hiroki, to get to the top he must marry into a prestige family, gives up his childhood love, and even plays dirty! 2 couples, 2 paths. One is full of thorns and mistakes, the other oh so innocent.
     - A secret is revealed at the end of book 12 I think that Hiroki's grandfather was a famous kabuki actor, and he's related to his other rival who's in love with his fiancee (whom he chose to neglect) I feel sorry for her! So lonely.
  5. Barakamon 4 by Satsuki Yoshino
     - I can sympathize with Handa on the chapter on cleaning fish. I was given fish to cook for dinner once, luckily, the fish was long dead and had stopped moving.
     - I love the chapter when Handa went around to give seaweeds as thanks and got lots of stuff in return. Great community. And the part when he mowed down the chief's bell pepper plants :)
  6. Not Love but delicious foods make me so happy! by Fumi Yoshinaga
     - Restaurant tour :) and Yoshinaga's almost daily life :)
  7. Takasugi-san's obento 1-2 by Nozomi Yanahara
     - Single man raising his niece, a middle-schooler.
     - Slice of live story.
     - I enjoy the story and the characters how they interact, change, and grow.
     - Too bad DMP cancelled the series. Looks like there are 9 volumes so far and MU says it ends in 10.
  8. eta Shall We Dance a Waltz? 1 by Natsumi Ando
     - I like Tango but I am a bit annoyed with him. I understand that he wanted to hide the ballroom dancing business, but ... Also, Hime is in the same class with Tango, so he must have seen her during class time, so her change should not be that shocking. For a guy who claims that he thinks about her and looks for her on the roof and ignored during class time, is a bit contradictory.
     - Over all, it's a fast read. I like Sumire and her muscle obsession. This is short series only 3 volumes. Cute art.
  9. Manga Dogs 1-2 by Ema Toyama
     - Fun fast read. The guys are hilarious.
     - I'm glad for the translator's notes on mangaka and references to them.
     - I should have taken notes, I can't remember where it was, one character said "wander" but however I look at the sentence, it should be "wonder."

I spotted some good news (for me at least:)) yesterday on amazon.fr - Baroque Knights 5 by Maki Fujita is listed to be out 8/26/15. Yes!!!!!! It's in my cart now for next order!!!!
