Manga:

1. Haruka: Beyond the Stream of Time 17 (the end): Adapted and Art by Toko Mizuno:
   - Borrowed from ILL and read the last volume since I wanted to know the ending and couldn't reserve 15 and 16! Will read them later.
   - Despite missing 2 volumes, I was able to pick up and continue the story without difficulty.
   - The scenes between Yorihisa and Akane are sweet.
   - Fun, lovely, and forgetful read. Pretty art.
   - On a shallower note, I prefer Yorihisa with pony tail, though.
2. Bakuman 12-15: Story by Tsugumi Ohba and Art by Takeshi Obata
   - borrowed from BPL
   - The battle continues. There are progresses getting drama cd and light novel and setbacks no anime for PCP.
   - It's mean of me, but I'm glad the new guy - Nanamine - was put in his place! Since this new guy appear, Mashiro becomes less annoying to me :)
   - Nagai is back which leads to a very funny chapter in Vol 15. It's my favorite.
   - Trouble ahead for the team.
3. Dangereuse Attraction 1 (真神様の言うとおり! - Makamisama no Iutoori! - As Makami-sama says!): by Takako Shigematsu (in French)
   - I like the author's art and was curious about this series.
   - Master seemed to be creepy and powerful.
   - I'm rooting for the other guy!
   - The heroine is too naive and idolizes Master! I'm on the fence about this series.
4. Skip Beat! 29 by Yoshiki Nakamura.
   - Lory Takarada is so cool.
   - Ren starts to annoy me He doesn't feel that he deserves to confess to Kyoko, but he's jealous when other guys get close to her. Isn't that possessive of him? His fashion is similar to that of Luca's from The Betrayal knows my name.
   - I appreciate what Viz did in this volume after read this post by slr2moons
   - Btw, Tokyo Crazy Paradise is currently published in Aizoban in Japan, currently up to volume 4. Maybe it'll get licensed :)
5. Hotaru 11-12 by Satoru Hiura (in French).
   - Vol 11 deals with Feudal Lord's story. The cliff hanger on volume 10 was bad for my heart!
   - Vol 12: Hotaru doesn't have time to breathe. The boss's deceased friend's young widower showed up with a daughter in other words, Hotaru has a rival :)
   - I'm waiting for all 3 last volumes to published and get them at the same time to read. I don't want another cliffhanger.
