Recently graduated Suzumura Rikako was still jobless when her older sister insisted that she apply to the company that she was working for. It sounds really great except for the part where that company is an erotic game developer. Rikako has yet to embrace her sexuality and add to that her shy personality and you have a recipe for disaster. But with all the employees, from the designers to programmers to advertising, being cute females, maybe Rikako won’t have such a hard time making this her career, or maybe it just might make it even more awkward.

Fushimi Inari has a hopeless crush on her classmate Tanbabashi. One day, while trying to interact with him, she accidentally humiliates him in front of the whole class. He refuses to accept her apologies, and, to make matters worse, she discovers that he probably has a crush on their incredibly cute classmate Sumizome.

She has all these things in mind when she is summoned by Uka-no-Mitama-no-kami, a pale fox goddess. In return for rescuing a little fox-spirit creature before school that day, the goddess offers to grant a single wish of Inari's. Without thinking, she blurts out that she wants to be Sumizome. As one might expect, this wish does not go nearly as well as Inari had hoped, and the kindly goddess breaks a goddess-rule to give Inari the ability to change herself back. Now, Inari can change her own shape at will, and using her new skill is very tempting as she keeps trying to win Tanbabashi's heart. But if Inari flaunts her ability, both she and the goddess might end up in trouble with Amaterasu!

This is what tethysdust said this week:
Not much that interested me this week. Hakui no Kanojo was probably the most interesting one. The manga is a lot more subdued and serious than it may sound from the description.
Here's what vyc had to say:
Senran Kagura Spark - If you like ninjas, cute girls and comedy, this is for you. Very easy and sit down to read kind of storyline.

Hime Wrestling - straight shooting young teacher trying to get misguided kids to focus on something more positive. I liked it so far and is probably the favorite for me this week.
My opinion:
I'm not particularly interested in any of the manga this week. I guess if I had to choose one to check out, I'd be the most interested in Deathless since it'd be interesting to see how these deathless beings consume people...
