Note to all scanlators: If you recently started scanlating a new manga series (with about 5 or less chapters released) and would like your manga to be shouted out in the next New Manga Shout Out, then please PM me. Please include:

My opinion:
Kyouka Ayakashi Hichou - If you're a fan of the supernatural, historical setting manga and mysterious abilities, then you should check this out.
Okitegami Kyouko no Bibouroku - Fans of NISHIO Ishin will make this manga a must read - plus seeing how the detective can solve a case so quickly should be interesting.
Tsukuroi Tatsu Hito - Another manga that has been turned into a drama, if you like dramas and slice of life manga or have seen the live action drama and liked that, then you should probably take a look at this manga.
