Manga Haul 03: Drap and angsty manga combo

シロです。お久しぶり、皆!

I've been a little busy so I haven't had much time to update the blog, but here's my measly haul for the past few weeks. I've purchased (more or less) 20 manga in the time I haven't updated but I only have these to take photos of for now.


The two manga on the upper portion were purchased from CDJapan, and it took a while since our postal system's pretty slow. (Almost thought it got lost in the mail!) It took me a whole month for the package to arrive. Whew~

Now on to the titles!


カラスにダイヤモンド by 大槻ミゥ (Karasu ni Diamond by Ootsuki Miu) - I've read the manga and it is absolutely cute! Ootsuki Miu draws the cutest uke and even though Satori looks a little too girly for my taste, he's kind and caring. Otomura is the complete opposite of the timid Satori, but he's kind (in his own way) and he has a pet crow! How cool is that? I love how their meeting isn't really a coincidence (or is it?) and that it isn't just Otomura who's smitten by Satori, but the crow also likes him. Like master, like pet! This is adorable, and I love the backstory of how Otomura and Satori first met. A fluffy read and is one of my favorites from Ootsuki Miu!

ロナルドの野望 by 宝井さき (Ronald no Yabou by Takarai Saki) - I have also read this one and it's so funny! Poor Ronald. But is he really just enduring whatever his superior Captain Ashford dishes out on him? Ashford is such a tsundere, and has a twisted way of showing his love for the one important to him (Ronald!) where his parents are to blame! And he wouldn't change his ways easily. But more than that, Ronald (who was so smitten with Ashford) wants to be better to be worthy to stand beside Ashford. It's one part hilarious and one part sweet. The shenanigans that happens while Ronald and Ashford are both in character as soldiers up to Ashford's dazzling and weird family situation, Ronald no Yabou is a laugh out loud fun kind of read. ^^


クロネコ彼氏のあふれ方 by 右京あやね (Kuroneko Kareshi no Afurekata Vol. 1 by Sakyou Aya) -I absolutely love Sakyou Aya and her works! I've been reading her Kuroneko Kareshi series from the start and her latest spin-off just brings in so much feelings while I was reading it. Looks like Keiichi and Shingo's still got a long way to go, as doubts start to creep in and muddle the relationship between the two cat shifters that will bring them apart. So much heartache and angst for this installment in the series!

終わらない不幸についての話 by 緒川千世 (Owaranai Fukou ni Tsuite no Hanashi by Ogawa Chise) - A spin-off of the Gosan no Heart series, this tells the story of Udou's older brother, Takayuki. While I didn't like Takayuki that much in Gosan no Heart, his story is an absolute delight to read. This is a lot tamer than most of Ogawa Chise's works, but I appreciated Takayuki's character more in this book. He's a sensitive guy at heart, trapped by an unfulfilled love that he never thought will ever be reciprocated. I almost forgot that Ogawa Chise can write such a story but she just poured on the drama and romance in this, which admittedly, I loved more than the original series. I can totally see why Takayuki couldn't move on from his unrequited love, Kiyotake is such a caring, wonderful, and understanding guy.

And last but not the least!


Drap featuring Nekota Yonezou and Moegi Yuu -I unfortunately couldn't find a link for this but it contains extras for Nekota Yonezou and Moegi Yuu's manga, Elektel Delusion and Katekyo! I've read both stories and they're both sizzling hot. Though they're not my favorite works of both authors, they still pack quite a punch especially in the smut department.

Extra:


I've managed to get my hands on a 日高ショーコ (Hidaka Shoko) book cover featuring Tanabe and Haruyama from her story, 知らない顔 (Shiranai Kao)!

If you have any manga haul you'd like to share, give me a link to your post!
