23:45 – Ohana
Two months after coming to Tokyo, Iku is enjoying otaku life, but something mysterious is happening to him: He’s started to see ghosts! One particular ghost – who’s always standing on top of the pedestrian bridge at night – catches his interest, but he studiously ignores it… Until one day the guy turns up at his apartment holding a doujin Iku had dropped. He says his name is Seo Mimori, and seeing as he’s a lost soul with nowhere to go, Iku doesn’t really resist when he “moves in.” But then a shocking secret about Mimori’s death is revealed…
I’m sorry. The cover and blurb promised good things but I found it long drawn-out and boring.

Houkago Edge – Muno
Tobari’s always loved cute and feminine things. Which sparks his eventual venture into drag. One day, while he was out in public dressed as a high school girl, he bumps into fellow classmate, Inui. It’s annoying to Tobari how amusing Inui finds it, but at least he’s promised not to tell anyone. But with no plans of letting him off for this hobby, Inui proposes something outrageous. He is twisted and unstable, but for some reason, his words are reassuring. A story of a secret love woven with something unnerving.
I thought it was going to be a bullying then falling in love kind of story. I’m so glad I was wrong.

Umibe no Etranger – Kii Kanna
Three years ago, Hashimoto Shun, a gay novelist in the making, met Chibana Mio, a very quiet high school student, in Okinawa. Mio had lost both of his two parents and was often seen sitting on a bench until very late, watching the sea, near Shun’s house. They slowly grew closer to one another, but Mio suddenly had to leave the island, to pursue his studies… Three years later, Mio returns to Okinawa: “I’ve been thinking a lot these last three years… Even if he’s a man too, I love Shun.” Will these two finally be able to take a step forward together?
My second Kii Kanna manga. I’m still trying to get use to her writing syle. I like the artwork but the story is unnecessarily complicated.
