This is what tethysdust said this week:
Quote:
Furansu Nikki was the most memorable of this week's manga. It seems so strange to have a Japanese manga about the perspective of French girls on Japanese otaku culture. Mangakko was very short; it's basically a single joke. Junai Junkies would be for people who want lots of sex and nudity in their manga.
My opinion:
Furansu Nikki - If you're interested in seeing people from other countries interested in manga, then you should check out this manga.
Junai Junkies - If you're in the mood for an ecchi comedy, then you should check out this manga instead.
Mangakko - On the other hand, if you're in the mood for reading something short (a one-shot, perhaps) about, you guessed it - manga again, then you should go for this manga instead.
