Hakuouki Junrenka

Hakuouki Junrenka by Ruru 1 volume-complete This is an alternate story of the otome 'Hakuouki Shinsegumi Kitan'. A girl in search of her father while living with the Shinsengumis. I have a hunch that the currently airing anime will end up like this super condensed manga. Don't read this for possible major spoilers!

Kiss Me Host Gumi

Kiss me Host Gumi by Yuuki Nachi 3 volumes-complete Anzai Mako transfers to an ex all-girl school with one class full of hosts I mean boys. One chapter scanlated so far. Thanks for the anonymous tip via skribit for reminding me of this. It's been on my list too. You may want to try Gakuen Ouji for the same set up.

Gekkou Teien

Gekkou Teien ("Moonlight Garden") by Kazumi Ooya 2 volumes-complete Yuuki enrolls to Getsuryou, an all-boy's academy at the pretense that all the boys in their family studied there, but all she really want is to join the theatre department. This is from the same mangaka of Yume Chu and Give Me Love/ Ai Wo Chodai!. Only one chapter scanlated so far. Another manga to be added on the all boy school and gender bender tags lol.

Happy Earth Day

Please don't make our Leafe Knights cry T.T Please save Mother Earth.

Strobe Edge

Strobe Edge 8 volumes-ongoing by Io Sakisaka Ninako is just one of the many girls who are head over heels in love with Ren. But she can't help herself to just admire from afar. Or is she really just one of the girls? The mangaka succeeded in making the story seem naturally simple but it's actually filled with tension and dramatic touches in all the smallest details. I really can't wait for the story to reach its turning point! Her art style is lovely and very expressive. Must read! It's actually on my list because of that wallpaper above and also there was also an anonymous tip via Skribit. Thanks! UPDATE: 5/4 Just finished it. I can really feel in my bones that this is going to be animated. It's not a full-blown harem. It's kinda harem just at the start. I wished it didn't end there but at least the mangaka didn't torture as that much. Think Bokuara Ga Ita!

Stardust Wink

Stardust Wink by Nana Haruta 3 Volumes-ongoing Anna grew up with her two best friends/ neighbors / coolest boys in school. Not too sure if it's a reverse harem but there's two minor/supporting characters guys too. Thanks to Kezzlex3 and anonymous for the tips. I haven't read typical highschool shoujo manga for months now and I find this one refreshing.

Upcoming: Starrry Sky

Otome 'Starry Sky' will be animated. More info from ANN . I've read this from way back I thought it's just going to be another Hetalia Axis or Miracle Train.

Freshest News: X-Men Misfits Manga Axed

Despite being a bestseller the 2nd volume of the supposed to be 2-part story was canceled due to licensing costs. More info from ANN .

A Kiss to My Prince

A Kiss to My Prince by Kim Hee Eun 5 volumes-completed Sei-Ann dreams of marrying a prince. She finds her ticket to her dreams through a letter of recommendation to work as a maid in the royal castle. I'll just be vague because one it's a must read and two it's disappointingly short. After reading it I have to read the first couple of chapters again to laugh at her stupidity. I love mangas wherein I get caught off guard by the twist and the characters are unpredictable. There is something more beneath the shallow first impressions to the characters. Beautiful art too. This is the second manhwa that I've really enjoyed reading after 100% Perfect Girl. Thanks to Tartza, VonAwesome and anonymous for the tips!

Happy Easter!

Glittering Christmas Story : Anyways Happy Holidays!

Anyways Happy Holidays! by Iyo Takarada It's the first part of twinbill stories in Glittering Christmas Story 2003 and I think an extra or a special for Dakedo Happy Paradise. It's Christmas again and Ruu is used to spending it alone. But this Christmas it's going to be different. Thank you for the anonymous tip via skribit!

Harukanaru Toki ni Naka de 3 ~Owarinaki Unmei~

Harukanaru Toki ni Naka de 3 ~Owarinaki Unmei~ ('In a Distant Time 3: Neverending Destiny') The war preparations between Genji and Heiki ensues. Amidst the plans a mysterious assassin is after Kurou. This anime special commemorates the 10th anniversary of the HaruToki franchise and just an excuse for fangirls to ogle at by far most colorful and most outlandish character designs in Neoromance. So distracting!

Happy April Fool's Day

Clown Drop! from Shugo Chara

Polls: Saimono Couple

The winner for your favorite couple in Saiunkoku Monogatari are Ryuki and Shuurei! If the previous polls had the two candidates this poll is the opposite of it. Technically it should only be 10 because Shuei Ran didn't show any interest in her and Reishin Hing is her uncle (but he wants to marry her *sweatdrops*). But I was too lazy to edit the pic for the 12th day of reverse harem christmas. I had to add the two so to complete the 12 bishies. XD Here are the results out of 244 votes. Ryuki Shi 102 (41%) Seiran Si 62 (25%) Sakujun Sa 18 (7%) Koyu Ri 16 (6%) Kijin Ko 12 (4%) Ryuren Ran 6 (2%) Shin Suou or Tan-tan 6 (2%) Riku Seiga 6 (2%) Eigetsu/Yogetsu To 8 (3%) Shuei Ran 5 (2%) Ensei Rō 2 (0%) Reishin Hong 1 (0%)
