Title: Cherries Fight Author: Yasuko ISBN# 978-4-09-132233-3 Flower Comics, 2009 As if the cover of this volume wasn’t eye-catching enough, with this cute girl looking omg-so-serious in her bathrobe and guns, it was really the back cover that had me laughing and picking this one up off the shelf. If you judge the book by [...]

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 and Thursday evenings, but I occasionally get delayed... Thanks!
