Hito wa naze hataraka nakerebanaranai no ka by Yamada Yugi is a collection of short stories that I'd bought a while back but hadn't bothered to read it for a while.

In any case, it has one of my favorite set-ups...A ( Read more... )

I hadn't realized that the shoujo manga Moonchild by Shimizu Reiko had been licensed. I vaguely remember attempting to read this a LOOONG time ago and failing. I think I was confused and slightly traumatized. In any case, enthusiastic pimp posts do make me want to try it again...

Speaking of shoujo, I realized that I have a bunch of Rose of ( Read more... )
