Title: Kimi ga Suki to ka Arienai! Author: AOI Mitsu ISBN# 978-4-06-364367-1 KC Nakayoshi Comics, 2012 This is definitely one of those series where my main reaction while reading it is, “Hahah only in shoujo manga!” This series is so silly and cracktastic, I kind of wonder what was going through the author’s mind while [...]

RANDOM OBSERVATIONS

I love shoujo anime, too. I especially love Magical Girl shoujo anime. We don’t get much licensed magical girl anime in the US, so when a new license is announced, I’m extremely happy. A new company, AnimeSols, has licensed one of my favorite magical girl series, Creamy Mami for legal streaming English subtitled release. They are also holding a Kickstarter-like fundraiser for a legal DVD release of the series. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to have a DVD copy of this series! I have contributed to this fundraiser, and I want to encourage others out there to do so as well! Please help Creamy Mami get a release in the US! If it does well, then maybe they will release other magical girl series! Go to AnimeSols and join the fundraiser today. Pretty please?

Sensei ni Ageru, by YAMADA Daisy

Title: Sensei ni, Ageru. Author: YAMADA Daisy ISBN# 978-4-06-364288-9 Kodansha Comics, 2010 Because I obviously don't talk about enough teacher x student manga on this site, here is yet another one :) I picked this one up not just because of the teacher-student theme, which is a guilty pleasure of mine, but also because this book is by YAMADA[...]

Kimi no Neiro, by FUKUSHIMA Haruka

Title: Kimi no Neiro (Your Melody) Author: FUKUSHIMA Haruka ISBN# 978-4-06-364291-9 Kodansha Comics, 2010 Along with teacher-student manga, one of my other favorite shoujo manga plot devices is cross-dressing. This is the first volume of a series that looks like it will prove to be highly entertaining as it progresses. The storyline involves some gender confusion and cross-dressing, and is[...]

Title: line Author: TSUKISHIMA Sango ISBN# 978-4-08-846663-7 Margaret Comics, 2011 After a bit of a break, I'm back! With more teacher-student manga, even! Hurray! I picked this one up entirely based on the cover, which makes it fairly obvious that there is some teacher-student fun going on here. That class attendance book is a dead giveaway. This book is[...]

Futari no Himitsu, by MORO Orie

Title: Futari no Himitsu Author: MORO Orie ISBN# 978-4-06-364319-0 Kodansha Comics, 2011 I was kind of hypnotized by the eyes of the girl on this cover into buying it. Look at those yes, all big and blue and unblinking. @_@ I was also attracted by the title. Their Secret? Ooh, I like secrets! There is an English blurb on[...]

Title: Hakushaku-sama wa Yokujou suru Author: AMANE Yuko ISBN# 978-4-09-133477-0 Flower Comics, 2010 It wasn't really the cover that convinced me to buy this book, though it certainly is very cute and very different from a typical shoujo manga. It's the fact that it is set in England that intrigued me. I have been reading a lot of Japanese[...]

Kyou Otoko to Isourou, by Ishiko

Title: Kyou Otoko to Isourou Author: Ishiko ISBN# 978-4-06-341782-1 Kodansha Comics, 2012 I picked up this series because it looked like it might be a bit more ecchi than it turned out to be ^_^; Alas, no smut here, but the story is cute, and, at 2-volumes long, it's a fast read. I don't know much about this author.[...]
