Fuwa Wataru is a high school age boy who loves cute stuff like stuffed animals. He's at an arcade one day, trying to win a cute new stuffed bear, when bullies show up to torment him. In fleeing from them, he happens across a very special toy-catching game---one that has a naked man in it. The man calls himself "Mofu-tarou" (after the name of the stuffed bear) and insists that he is a stuffed animal. He does seem to have genuine stuffed animal ears and a tail, at least. He follows Wataru home, determined to be his new stuffed animal. Wataru's life gets even weirder as his Mumu-tan stuffed bear starts talking, and he has to figure out how to hide his new Mofu-tarou "stuffed animal."

This is what tethysdust said this week:
Surprisingly, Koi no Cupid was probably my favorite of the week. The premise is ridiculous, and that pretty much tells you what to expect, but I thought the execution of it was very cute. Material Polka and Nuigurumi Kurasshu were both extremely strange--a little too weird for me. Shuukan Shounen Girl seems kind of like each chapter will be like a short story (though slightly connected to the previous chapters). I'm not sure how long they can keep up having a new girl featured every week, though.
Here's what DrCoke had to say:
If you like sports mangas that rely on a ratio of about 7:3 for sports and comedy, "Hello" might fit your needs. It starts out a bit slow, but stick with it for at least 3 or 4 chapters to get to the good bits.

My opinion:
I hope those who celebrated Thanksgiving had a good one and didn't eat too much. As for the manga,
Erashiko - seems like it'd be a light hearted slice of life comedy; perfect for those wanting something light to read.
Hello!! - looks good for those into sports and competition.
Koi no Cupid Yakenohara Jin - this one sounds the most interesting yet silly. However, since it's in Jump, it'll probably get cancelled soon...
Material Polka - sounds like another school survival manga, although with just girls and very strict rules... But it's weird that the killed girl explodes with candy...
Nuigurumi Kurasshu - Why would you allow a naked man go to your house?! And why would the parents allow him to stay?! This manga is perfect for those who like silly manga.
Ore ga Abnormal kamo Shirenai Ken ni Tsuite - perfect for those into ecchi manga, but maybe it'll be educational and explain the porno business instead of just showing the guy doing girls with lots of boob shots, etc...
