    19 Days – Old Xian

    The cute and funny adventures of a boy and his best friend.

    With all the cliffhangers, feels and tension so thick you could cut it with a knife, I seriously think this manghua is not for the faint-hearted.

    Mic and Neo – Aniya Yuiji

    [Volume 1] A story about the impermanence of worldly things, containing domesticity, romance, and mystery. This is the volume on desire and earthly temptations.

    A young man attempts suicide and loses his memories. Mic (borrowed name) is found by the caretaker of the Buddhist temple, Neo, who takes him under his wing. Upon doing so, Neo discovers that Miku was carrying a kiddie bag packed with… huge rolls of money?! Mic becomes a freeloader at the temple, living his days worry-free while waiting for his memory to return. But then Neo comes to discover Mic’s dark past… Aniya Yuiji’s new series! A Boy’s Love tale filled with Buddhism and mystery!

    [Volume 2] An unusual domestic love mystery. This is the purification and rebirth edition.

    Mic (borrowed name) is a young man who attempted suicide and then lost his memory. Neo is the temple worker who found Mic and took him in. Mic enjoys a carefree lifestyle at the temple at first, but his memory starts to trickle back before long. Separately, Neo begins to uncover Mic’s past and is slowly crushed beneath the weight of the knowledge. “I’ll never fall in love with Mic” he promises. Does his heart agree…? As we put an end to the tale, this is where Mic and Neo’s story begins.

    At it’s core, this is a simple love story of the paranormal kind that fortunately ended happily. The rest are just there to make things convoluted.

    Sensei! Koi No Shitsumon Desu! – Tomoe Fumi

    Sensei steals glances at me. I think it’s cute because I want to make him mine. A sweet high school love story.

    For me, this is less of a love story and more of a teacher’s worst nightmare.

    Caramel Honey – Takuhei

    Ayato transfers into a new school, hoping for a fresh start. Sadly for him, the school turns up to be filled with deliquents, and the most feared of them all has his eye set on him. And it doesn’t help, that whenever Ayato accidentally takes off his glasses, everyone around him suddenly becomes completely smitten by him.

    I would have liked this more had Ayato been less weepy and had more backbone.
