Hyoudou Kaname and Shishido Makoto are two abnormally tall (over 180 cm!), sharp-eyed high school girls. That, in addition to Kaname's emotional instability and violent outbursts, has instilled a fear of the two girls in all their classmates. But, though they're bad at dealing with people, they are actually normal girls. They just want to hang out with friends, have boyfriends, and enjoy high school like other girls, but they fail whenever they try. If they don't get discouraged and continue to work at getting to know others, will a day come when they can smile and be happy? It's a high tension school comedy drawn with a unique style and tempo.

Here's what Tethysdust says about this week:
Definitely seems like a school life stories week. Out of those Inakano was probably my favorite, it was a pretty calm manga and very nostalgia invoking about adolescence. From the point of view of someone who loves cats, Mill was pretty interesting. I can't really tell if they're going to lean more towards the immortal cat - pet owner relationship or the magic girl - college student relationship, though. From what I've read, Nana to Kaoru is a pretty realistic depiction of a consensual BDSM relationship, so that one would probably be interesting to anyone into BDSM or curious about it. Machiwarashi is not for people who are easily disturbed by things like murdered children and innocent little demons playing with corpses.
I want to read Inakano and Negative Twin-Tower. There be yuri in Panikuru Iko-san. XD Also, I know Nana to Kaoru isn't really "new" (with 2 tanks out), but I just wanted to give it a shout out to let people who read the series know it's now in a new magazine and it's being renumbered as chapter 1.
