”Wolf Girl And Black Prince, Vol 1” by Ayuko Hatta is a hilarious romantic comedy about Erika (The wolf girl) who cried too many times that she has a boyfriend – when she actually doesn't. Her friends think she's a liar, and scared of being left out in the cold, Erika takes a picture of a random hot guy in the street. If only she had known that they know him already because he goes to her school! The disaster feeling is strong when Erika is almost caught in her lies, but Sata, the guy, listens to her pleas about him becoming her fake boyfriend. He's a nice guy and agrees - all she has to do is be at his beck and call. His own personal slave dog. Turns out he's a wolf in sheep's clothing! Now, now, before anyone goes complaining that this guy is evil and mistreating her, just remember that Erika could stop this farce at any time by telling the truth to her friends. She doesn't and I think for sure there's going to be an important lesson to be learned he...

”Love, that's an understatement Vol 1” by Fujimomo is like a semi-mafia romance set in a school environment. I loved how the worlds of smart girl, Risa, and Zen and his group of delinquents mix. To some is Risa a very responsible person. To her classmates, she's robotic and cold. Of course, she doesn't like their view of her, but she is this way to not cause worries. But it has the effect that Risa is alone and doesn't know how to ask for help. I liked the mental picture the mangaka draw with Risa's heavy bag. Risa's bag is full of things that can help her in any given situation, so she doesn't have to rely on others. It becomes clear that it's a heavy burden if you can't get help when you need it. Risa is by no means a damsel in distress. She's more than capable of taking care of herself. We see it again and again in the story. There are scenes where most people would panic, but where she stands up for herself, and I screamed in delight! ...

"Nighttime for Just Us Two" Volume 1 by Maki Miyoshi is a story about a girl, Nikaido, who feel she is an outsider at school. No one remembers her name and she's invisible to everyone. On a night walk, she meets the popular guy from her class, Koga-kun, but he presents himself as someone else... an alien that is exploring human life on earth. o.0 The first time I read the synopsis for this story I burst out laughing because... a shojo manga with an alien?! Never heard about it before and sounds crazy enough that it's hard to not check it out! I think this first volume was awesome! It was punchy and fast-paced and managed to show both Nikaido's loneliness, Koga's desperation, and Chiro-chan's happy attitude about living the human life. It was so funny! I love how Chiro-chan (the alien) and Koga (the human) come across as two different people. Chiro-chan is bright, happy and an airhead and Koga is... well, right now he is scared and is convinced he i...
