There is a mysterious man who appears to be a Buddhist monk, but he really follows a path outside of the Buddha's teachings. He wanders modern Japan, and helps those who ask. He gives more help than they expect, because he can see the past lives of people living now-- he can identify bad souls, and sentence them to death. Through the removal of the bad, he can change the fate of others for the better. The story begins with an adolescent girl seeking help for her mother, who is living with a man that horribly abuses both her and her daughter.

Amaguri Amami is like the world's granddaughter, mostly on account of having a perfect grandkid's face. Almost all of the elderly people she sees feel compelled to give her sweets and dote on her, and her charm extends to many others as well. Ikako-sensei, her teacher at the school she transfers into, takes an instant dislike to her. Ikako has a habit of charming men with sex acts, and she is shocked and dismayed that Amami can win over her staunchest allies simply by looking cute and childish. On top of that, Amami comes late to class every day, and she started off the first day by knocking out Ikako with a pressure point attack. Will Amami's cute brattiness and fondness for sweets truly win her the world?

Hanadera Keisuke is obsessed with yuri, and he's read all the Yuri Hime manga. However, he is sadly aware that there is one thing a lesbian romance absolutely does not need-- him. One day, a student named Akane transferred to his class from an all-girls school. She used to go to school with another classmate, Saori, and Akane immediately tried to pick up their friendship. However, her clinginess, desire for alone-time, and intensity all convinced Keisuke that he was finally seeing yuri in reality! Soon enough, Keisuke had stalked them enough to see a love triangle between Saori, newcomer Akane, and their standoffish classmate Matsuoka. Is there truth to his observations, or is he viewing the world through yuri-tinted glasses?

This is what tethysdust said this week:
Virgin House was my favorite out of this week's. It looks like it could be a really cool story of three women figuring out love and life. Gedoubou was interesting as well, but it was also quite graphic and the villains were a little too overly evil for me.
Here's what DrCoke had to say:
Kerberos looks to be action packed and well drawn. I'd like to see more of that one.

My opinion:
Not really interested in anything this week...
