This is what tethysdust said this week:
Quote:
Yomei Demo Otaku Desu appears to be an autobiographical comedy about the author's marriage. It was funny, and complete at 10 chapters. Shounen Princess combines gender-bender romance with action. Princess Biyori was pretty cute and innocent, as far I as read.
Here's what Kamas had to say:
Quote:
For Brave Star Romantics: Modern day superheroes are not a new concept, but I like the mystery that surrounds the origin story behind the superpowers and the idea behind it. It has a lot of potential to make for an interesting story.
Now for Niffer's take on her manga:
Quote:
Youkai Hyakki-tan! is a fun manga with lots of short stories based on the mobile game Youkai Hyakki-tan!
My opinion:
Brave Star Romantics - This comes from the mangaka who made Sekirei, so if you like more action/ecchi series, then this would be right up your alley.
Shounen Princess - An interesting idea of having a trap and a reverse trap in the story, so if you like gender benders, then this manga is for you...
Princess Biyori - If you're in the mood for fantasy and magic, then you should check this manga out.
Yomei Demo Otaku Desu. - If you want to know what it's like to be a mangaka and be married to another mangaka, with little romantic experience, then this short one volume manga may pique your interest.
Youkai Hyakki-tan! - If you like ecchi situations with supernatural elements, then you should take a look at this manga.
