This is what tethysdust said this week:
I think my favorite this week would be Pro Chichi. I like the examination of gender roles. Centaur no Nayami was kind of cute, as well.
Here's a note from vyc:
I loved Golden Age from this week's pick. It was so interesting I took the time to read 10 volumes without missing a beat. I guess the kid in me cant put down a good sports series. Lots of soccer detail but also lots of human drama which keeps the reader drawn. Highly recommend. Maro Maro is also a new kind of comedy series. Goody two shoes kid who really is sadistic in the inside gets to explore his demons with a hot goddess as his test subject. Surprisingly not an adult content book and good laugh for everyone.
My opinion:
Harvest December sounds like an interesting love triangle and reminds me a bit of Kannagi... Maro Maro sounds like it'll be fun and fans of pretty boys will like Yongokushi.
