Start with a Happy Ending GN 1Start With a Happy Ending is a charmingly bittersweet collection that presents snippets of people's lives and tells a variety of complete stories. This book is not meant to be read in one sitting – but it is worth picking up again and again.
The Limit GN 1Treating high school social issues with the harshness they merit, Keiko Suenobu fuses bullying with a survival story, and if the result isn't perfect, then it still manages to be an engrossing read.
So, I Can't Play H! episodes 7-
Wolf ChildrenA story of parenthood and childhood, of a boy and girl who can become wolves in a blink, and of the “ordinary” woman, no less amazing, who bears and raises them. It's wonderful.
Bleach GN 48-

Moyashimon Episodes 1-11 Streaming
Moyashimon's strength is in capturing the feel of college: the freedom, the newness, the adventure; the bad roommates, the bizarre school activities, the drunken sexual experimentation. Good times.
Bleach DVD 30Ichigo visits the Visoreds to learn how to control his Hollow side, and the ultimate goal of Aizen's grand plot gets revealed, in this latest Bleach installment. While it does have some interesting developments, it does not do anything excitingly different or break any new ground.
