This is what tethysdust said this week:
Seems like lots of ecchi stories this week. In the non-ecchi, Kagerou Inazuma Mizu no Tsuki was a collection of interesting, but fairly tragic stories.
Here's what vyc had to say:
Un-Go-Inagoron - looks interesting and I like detective mystery series but I need to read more to see what the plot line is like.
My opinion:
Not much really piqued my interest except for Un-Go - Ingaron but there's an anime of this manga so I might check out that instead~
