This is what tethysdust said this week:
Sachiare doesn't look like anything new, but the Kinoko Ningen story was pretty bizarre. The Concierge Platinum one is a spin-off of Concierge, so I imagine it will have similar fans.
Here's what DrCoke had to say:
This week's mangas didn't interest me much.

My opinion:
√3 = (Hitonami ni Ogoreya Onago) - good for those wanting a supernatural mixed with some mystery. Kind of sounds like a supernatural version of Sket Dance.
Concierge Platinum - Since it's a spin-off of Concierge, then if you liked Concierge, then expect the same stuff, but with hotels...
Flagger no Houteishiki - sounds perfect for those that are into galges I would think. Maybe they'll incorporate flags into the system?
Fujiyama-san wa Shishunki - good for those into ecchi maybe since it sounds like it's all about the MC peeking at his girlfriend... Well, we'll see how the romance goes, but at least there's no waiting before he confesses since they get together so soon...
Kinoko Ningen no Kekkon - looks good for those wanting something slice-of-life-ish...
Sachiare! - This manga looks like it'd be perfect for those wanting to read about an "awwwww so cute and innocent wife" type. I'm curious to find out why she would marry a high school boy though...
