    Itoshi no Mirai-kun – Yoshida Yuuko

    The heartbreaking story of Mirai, a pushover type of guy, who is easly engaging in relationships with anyone who confessed to him to fall into dependency. Told from the POV of his childhood friend Hibira, who cares deeply for him.

    And because I’m a glass-half-empty person, I think he’s stupid.

    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.
