  • Nodame Cantabile 17 by Tomoko Ninomiya. Yes! Is the wait over?
  • etaa: Peach Heaven 1 by Mari Yoshino
    At first glance, Momoko Shina may appear to be nothing more than your average high school girl, but she has a secret identity as the famous erotica author George Aihara. After she witnesses an intimate moment between one of her teachers and the supermodel Ranmaru, she borrows a little too much from reality in an effort to beat the deadline on her latest story. When Ranmaru gets wind of this, he makes Momoko an offer she can't refuse… Watch the sparks fly as these two try to figure each other out in this high-tension romantic comedy!
    MU tags this smut, so I don't know, 13 vols complete
• I slowly made a dent in manga pile. I read vol 1 of 2 new Kodansha series and 4 chapters of Yen new series this week:
  • A Springtime with Ninjas 1 by Narumi Hasegaki, the drawing is cute. Story is predictable and a bit choppy. I may continue when there's sale
  • Tokyo Tarareba Girls 1 by Akiko Higashimura, author of Princess Jellyfish, which I collect but haven't read!
  • NE NE NE, Chapters 1-4 story by Shizuku Totono, art by Daisuke Hagiwara (who does art for Horimiya, also licensed by Yen, which I collect and read), very cute, both characters are clumsy and possibly charming (?)
  • eta: I also got Chihayafuru 1 by Yuki Suetsugu, which I haven't read but went to credit page and "Translation by Ko Randsom, Lettering by Hiroko Mizuno" I don't remember seeing these names before but I don't read all Kodansha series, so ...

Have a nice weekend.
