This is a story about Hayashida Megumi (known as Lindaman), from the manga Crows, set in his middle school years. Hayashida is an incredibly strong, ridiculously large and very taciturn 'yankee' type middle schooler. Yoshidome Keiichi, a much smaller, weaker, and very talkative classmate starts to hang out with him, and slowly they become friends. All the while, large groups of people keep coming to attack 'Lindaman', due to grudges they have against him or even simply because of his reputation as being very strong.

Are there gods in Japan? In a very literal sense, that's what Ichiyou and Tenkou want to know. Collecting gods and taking them home to their own country is actually their job. While in modern Japan, they bump into the school girl Nozomu, who is an aspiring writer. She is completely stunned by their matter-of-fact explanation of their mission, but also excited that such a novel-like event is happening to her in real life. Will Ichiyou and Tenkou be able to find the gods in Japan, or have they all vanished?

Satou Makoto is a new male teacher at an all-girls high school. He wants to be a good teacher, but he can't help having detailed sexual fantasies about his students.

None of the mangas are exactly jumping at me, but I guess if I had to pick one, I'd try and check out the josei manga Haigakura. I'm curious to see how you can catch gods. I'm sure ecchi lovers would really like Sense and Maid in Japan and Crow and Worst fans can take a look and hopefully look forward to reading Lindaman and Harumichi. Action lovers should check out Sanjin Sadou while shoujo readers can check out Ai Kara Hajimaru.

I'd like to thank tethysdust for reading so many mangas so fast and making so many summaries. It's too bad one manga snuck up on the last day so we can't have them all with summaries. Once again, if you'd like to help out and make summaries for the site, be sure to PM me.
