   Hi readers and typers, principally Kenneth M. Lin,   
      
   	Kenneth raised the question so I will start with what I have loaded.   
   	Kakao 79% a romance I think between childhood friends behind on this.   
   	Otonari Complex a butch girl and a cross-dressing boy are childhood   
   friends and this is moving closer to confession time.   
   	Himegoto-Juukyuusai no Seifuku a bunch of college students and their   
   hangups sexual and otherwise.   
   	Sunu Sumu Muriku no Koibito a story orbiting around a TG and her   
   friends as they try to find ways to make her life more comfortable.   
   	Questionable Content - more students, college and post college, finding   
   their lives and loves.  I started reading it from the beginning   
   as I came in about 10 years after it started.   
   	Shinshuki Bitter Change - years ago in story time two kids accidentally   
   knocked their heads together and exchanged consciousnesses.   
   One is a boy and the other a girl and they have to exchange lives.   
   	 Watashi ga Motete Dousunda Manga aka Kiss Him Not Me about a fujoshi   
   who would rather yaoi her male admirers than have them crush   
   on her.   
   	Isobe Isobee Monogatari - Ukiyo wa Tsurai yo Manga In this ukiyoe-style   
   manga, Isobe Isobee is a lazy, slacker samurai with big dreams. Love the   
   art and only seems to be one chapter up.   
   	Bameur Geonneun Seonbi Manga Seong Yeol is a vampire scholar that has   
   been hiding from people for many years, letting them believe that he is   
   an old man with leprosy. The only person he lets enter his place is a   
   smart bookseller, Yang Sun. Together they will try to fight against a   
   conspiracy. Think this is either Korean or Chinese but seems   
   to be set in pre-modern Korea and the bookseller is a girl.   
   	Eagerly awaiting the next release of TOMO-CHAN WA ONNANOKO! Manga aka   
   Tomo chan is a girl, about a karateka and her boyfriend   
   and her friends.  4 coma strip with arcs, Tomo and her bf are of   
   course childhood friends.   
   	Also reading Hidamari no Ki which is now up to chapter 47   
   online.  That is a story from the era when the Tokugawa Shogunate   
   was weakened and a Samurai and a doctor of Western medicine are   
   the main characters, though important historical figures show up.   
   	HYOUGEMONO Manga  It was the Sengoku-era, when the warlords usurped   
   each other. There was a man whose soul was overtaken by the   
   ways of tea and material greed, as he worked his way up toward greater   
   power and status. His name was Sasuke Furuta and he is the hero as   
   he swanks it up with Nobunaga, Hideyoshi and I expect Tokugawa   
   and learns how hard it is to be an aesthete and accomplishes great   
   things for each in turn.  I saw this in the manga shop at the   
   Kinokuniya mall in Nihon Machi and knew I wanted to read it from   
   the Japanese version.   
      
   	Besides the manga I have from the SFPL:   
   	A Graphic Novel called Science Fiction about a middle-aged science   
   teacher who suddenly decides he has been an alien abductee.   
   	A Yasuhiro Tatsumi manga Fallen Words which seem to be   
   moral tales about the problems with cheating one way or another   
   	Strange Tides by Christopher Fowler a Bryant and Mayes   
   detective story featuring the Peculiar Crimes Unit.   
   	And a few Fantasy stories not really worth the mention   
   which I read on the bus.   
      
   	So what are the rest of you all reading?
