This is what tethysdust said this week:
The only one that really interested me this week was Kecchin. It seems to be a pretty neat coming-of-age type romance.
Here's a note from vyc:
Weiss no Sora - a short story that starts with a kid wanting to see the sky and ends up affecting the entire humanity. Everything from the drawings to the characters and moral is great. Shinjuku Swan - Amazing series. I literally read all 24 chapters even though I didnt have to because the storyline was sooooo compelling. I highly encourage everyone to read this. The content is very mature but I cant recommend this enough.
My opinion:
Kaminomi sounds fun, but the cover makes me doubt it's not much more than a ecchi-fest. Kecchin sounds like a cute coming of age story, like tethy said~
