Akatsuki; a powerful demon of illness which spreads into the victim, turning their eyes red while slowly killing them. Usually, they take form of a strong monster connected to the victim's body. The only way to cure the victims infected with Akatsuki is to slash the victim body with special anti-Akatsuki weapons known as "Crave." The group of people who possess and use these weapons are called "Kiri-Isha" (Slash Doctor).

Hibiki, the protagonist of this story, is a Kiri-isha. He partners with Kirisa, another Kiri-Isha. Their mission is to cure people infected with Akatsuki, but what could possibly lie ahead of them?

A mysterious, busty, strong, beautiful, and mature high school girl... What more can a guy ask for? Apparently, Kouta, 13 years old, doesn’t want that. After giving a high school girl some ice cream, she returns the favor by promising to take care of Kouta while his father has gone on a business trip. However, Kouta dislikes the idea because the girl, Natsuki, treats him like a little child. Despite the one-way tension, Natsuki tells Kouta to become an adult that doesn’t run away from what he wants to do if he wants to become an adult. With her words in mind, Kouta finds the courage to rescue the idol of his school, Kanae, from three punks who try to harass her. Natsuki appears in time to beat up the three punks after a few punches have been thrown at Kouta. Kouta sees that she isn’t a bad person, and decides to accept her into his home. A new release brought to you by the author of Ichigo 100%, Hatsukoi Limited, Lilim Kiss, and Sonezaki Shinju; the funny and slightly ecchi love comedy between a high school girl and a middle school boy!

I'm interested in seeing how the new series by Mizuki Kawashita, which'll appeal to the romantic, ecchi, comedy crowd, will go. I wonder how the Kagijin one-shot will change since it'll be serialized later this month and I didn't find it particularly interesting enough to be serialized. I'm also looking forward to seeing if someone will translate/scanlate the one-shot, Loop, done by Kanou Yasuhiro (mx0).　What series are you looking forward to reading?
