    Irony Dress ni Sayonara – Miyoshi Ayato

    A shriek was heard as a sailor uniform skirt fluttered, and Meguru thought himself a lucky perv till he caught a glimpse of… a guy’s boxer shorts? “Quit staring, old fart!“ By chance, he ended up inviting the high school boy in a girl’s uniform, Keiichi, to his place with the mystery of why he wears that uniform still unsolved. Unwittingly, however, Meguru discovered the reason behind Keiichi’s uniform… Two hearts entwined and a tale of first love, to reach out to get closer to your heart. “That uniform, are you wearing it ‘cause you really want to?”

    Incidentally, in my country, people expect you to wear a dress and be swishy if you are gay. They can’t seem to understand that being gay just means men liking men and the person doesn’t necessarily want to be a woman.

    Good manga though…

    Party7 -Atsuki Kamata

    Demoted from the Prince’s Guard and dumped in favor of a foreign princess, Lance is the Prince’s dirty secret and the laughingstock of the Seventh Corps. It’s no wonder that no one will believe him when he uncovers a plot to assassinate the Prince. With the help of the rest of the Seventh Corps and his new partner, resident smart-aleck Sid, Lance has to figure out how to save the life of the man who gave him everything only to take it all away.

    Vapid and shallow.

    Madman – 

    Cangjiuguiyi

    A spy, a madman, a promise.
    “When the peach flowers in our garden bloom, I will return.”
    It was not a happy-ending story, but it was theirs.

    Endless World – Jaryuu Dokuro

    Ikki, an optimist who isn’t afraid of anything, begins working at a small restaurant when he finds himself charmed by the owner. It’s there that he runs into Ryuu, and from Ryuu, he hears Toshimitsu’s name, one that’s oddly familiar.
    Neither Ikki nor Ryuu can seem to get away from Toshimitsu, and now their mysterious shared past will lead to an unknown future.

    An NSFW manga with drugs and abuse but somehow managed to be evocative, intense and emotional.

    Harenochi Shikibu – Hinota

    Haruno witnesses a mysterious guy crying under the sakura trees. He thought it strange, but who would have thought the guy turns out to be his classmate, Hitose?! Hitose declares that he’s going to establish the “Four Seasons Club”, with details of club activities being very unclear. But swept up in Hitose’s vigor, Haruno joins the club by announcing, “I will be with you”

    Lesson learned: subtle nuances in the Japanese language = sticky situations. Lovely spring-themed manga though…
