Title: 16 Life Author: AIKAWA Saki ISBN# 4978-4-09-133226-4 Flower Comics, 2010 It’s time to venture back into the world of the Japanese entertainment industry as depicted in shoujo manga! I guess manga about idols are really popular, if publishers keep having authors churn out so many similar series. Here is AIKAWA Saki’s take on the [...]
Title: Berry Dynamite Author: NAKAHARA Aya ISBN# 978-4-08-846456-5 Japan: Margaret Comics, 2009 I am a big fan of NAKAHARA Aya’s works. I have discussed a few of them here before.

Title: Tokyo Rock Shounen Author: KIKUCHI Kamaro ISBN# 978-4-09-132719-2 Flower Comics, 2009 There is something I really enjoy about Kikuchi Kamaro’s works.

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!
