This is what tethysdust said this week:
Despite its odd name, I thought that Front Misson- Dog Life & Dog Style was the most interesting of this week's manga. The art was impressive (I particularly liked the scenery), and the story (as far as I was able to read) was quite interesting. It has explicit violence and sexual content, though. Second most interesting would be RakuRaku. Most of the stories are about inexperienced romance, and common problems that people have. I labeled it as 'mature', but the focus of the stories are really the people and their relationships, not the nudity.
Here's a note from vyc:
Sorta liked 24 no Hitomi - a teacher who lies about everything and gets people frustrated. Great if you like dry humor. Miko to Kagaku - I liked the concept and the combination between mecha and comedy makes it great. The main character is fro the US so she swears in English and it's quite funny.
My opinion:
I read the first chapter of Kagami no Kuni no Harisugawa and it looks really cute, funny and a nice little romance manga. I'm definitely going to continue reading. :3 Another manga by Unita Yumi: Rakuraku. Maybe it'll get scanlated as well~ Nothing else really attracted my interest...
