Part two of this week, although there were still too many series uploaded, so check out next week's article for a few of the mangas from this week. :P

Out of part two's mangas, I am definitely looking forward to reading another one of Inoue Kazurou's manga, Ane Comi, mangaka of the newly started Mahou no Iroha and of course Ai Kora. I also do sort of want to see how Satan will return the human sacrifice back to her village in Kyou no Maou-sama. The idea behind Ability Shop also seems interesting: exchanging the years of your life for ablities - how many guys would exchange a couple years of their life in order to have x-ray vision. :P What series do you find interesting?
