  3. Publishing Status (+ Number of Volumes/Chapters)

This is what tethysdust said this week:
Quote:
Not much really interested me this week. Armor-Amour was pretty cute. It was neat that she wasn't a crazy-violent girlfriend, just very unemotional. I actually found Shin Cosume no Mahou interesting, but they were really into cosmetics. They even have little tutorials for parts of it. I never knew putting on eyeshadow could be so dramatic!
Here's a note from vyc:
Quote:
Loved Hanasaku Iroha from this week. Sorta a shoujo series but the meta comedy along with the main character's personality really got me into the series. Worth reading at least 1 volume for sure. Fuon Connect - 4koma series about a trio of sisters and their lives with each other. The clashing personalities makes it an easy and fun read for anyone.
My opinion:
Not much really interested me although both Armor Amour and Hanasaku Iroha sound really cute.



Translated items that need some love/scanlation:
sonsofloki - Young Shima Kousaku: Chapter 1
