Kira's new stepfather has four gorgeous sons: adult Mutsuki, tech school student Kanna, high schooler Hadzuki, and 6th year elementary student Satsuki. Kira's mother and stepfather head out to travel together, leaving Kira to live with her four new brothers. At first they all seem really nice, except for the rough, wolfish Hadzuki. Then she finds that they're not really as nice as they seem, as each of them tries to get her naked and one even steals her first kiss. She is scared, feeling like she has no safe place to live, when Hadzuki shows his softer side, comforting and protecting her.

Himeji Wakaba is a 5th year elementary school student, and she has the ability to see things that others can't. They are mostly frightening evil spirits, and they tend to do bad things to people who are close to her. As a result, Wakaba has no friends and rarely smiles. On a couple of occasions, she brings home stray animals, but her parents won't let her keep them. However, they're worried about their sad, creepy daughter, so one day they decide that whatever Wakaba brings home next, they'll let her keep.

The next thing she brings home is a pink monster called "Pupipo," but her parents stand by their decision and let her keep it. No one is quite sure what Pupipo is, but it protects Wakaba from the other things she sees. Pupipo also helps Wakaba make friends with an occult-obsessed transfer student and solve problems with bullying. Wakaba's life is a much better place with her pet pink monster!

This is what tethysdust said this week:
From the first chapter of Gringo, it looks like it could be really brutal, but creative. Pupipo was a pretty cute story, as well.
Here's what DrCoke had to say:
No comments this week.

My opinion:
Gringo 2061 probably sounds the most interesting with a very post-apocalyptic vibe~
