Title: Liar x Liar Author: KINDAICHI Renjuro ISBN# 978-4-06-365629-9 Kodansha Comics, 2010 I was surprised when I saw this book in the shounen manga section of my local Japanese bookstore. This cover didn’t really look shounen, and sure enough, after I examined it more closely, I could see that this manga contains an ongoing story [...]
Title: Tsuugaku Densha Author: TSUKUSHIMA Sango ISBN# 978-4-08-846549-4 Margaret Comics, 2010 I generally don’t buy manga volumes or manga magazines that have pictures of models/actors/real-people on the cover. I’m not sure why, but they usually annoy me. There are lots of random manga out there with photos of whoever the current popular idol singers are. [...]
Title: Ookami Shounen Author: MIZUKAMI Wataru ISBN# 978-4-06-364257-5 Kodansha Comics, 2010 The colorful cover drew me to this book, that and the fact that it has a boy with cute wolf ears!

I love how Shueisha will post the the first chapter (in Japanese) of so many of their new releases for free! This practice has [...]
Title: Boy & Cool Author: HARUKI Saki ISBN# 978-4-06-341703-6 Kodansha Comics, 2010 I picked up this cute oneshot volume because of the boy on the cover (oooh big surprise there!). I liked his mischievous expression. There is something about him that reminds me of Kikuchi Kamaro’s Rock Shounen works. All he needs is the tongue [...]
NOTE: I do NOT offer or link to manga downloads or scans on this site. PLEASE don't ask me where you can read this stuff online. Almost all of my summaries are based on actual books I buy and read in Japanese. I have no idea if any of this is online, and would encourage people to purchase the actual books.
New summaries should appear (hopefully =_=;) on Tuesday or Thursday evenings, but I occasionally get delayed... Thanks!
