   	Dave you might regret that request. ;^)   
   	Some of these I have not gotten that far with due to   
   the slowness of releases   
      
   	Well Dave I am reading Mochi Au Lait's Short One-Shots Collection which   
   is all light yuri.   
      
   	Useless Ponko which is a about a housekeeping robot on its final   
   assignment before it is recycled into 500 yen coins, humorous largely   
   but with moments of tension.  She is serving as companion to an elderly   
   widower who accepts her more fully after he learns that his wife wrote   
   the contract.   
      
   	Onnanoko Gare! which is about a young JK being helped to be more   
   feminine by a person who is rather ambivalent in deportment.   
      
   	Joshi Daisei ga Goukon de Onee-san ni Mochikaerareru which seem to be   
   about a lesbian (sexual)wolf.   
      
   	Her Elder Sister Has a Crush on Her, But She Doesn't Mind about an   
   older sister who is apparently interested in HS girls.   
      
   	The Fallen TS Girl which seems to be an unwilling person moved to a   
   female body.   
      
   	Ryunen! Todome Senpai about a sempai-san held back a grade in HS   
   and her way of getting help from a kouhai she knows.   
      
   	Dodoma about a supernatural being of ambiguious gender in a European   
   mythic background seems to be helping people.  I don't much   
   like this one but it might be a more interesting story than I find it.   
      
   	Hibari ga Naitara Tsukamaete about the reunion in college, one is a   
   student, the other a dropout, of HS pals. Shounen ai overtones.   
      
   	Chitchai Kanojo Senpai ga Kawai Sugiru. which might be about a   
   relatively normal boy/girl relationship.   
      
   	Today, We Continue Our Lives Together Under the Same Roof which is   
   about a happy pair of Lesbians much in love.   
      
   	Yotsuya Kaidan! about a boy who is in love with a girl who disappeared   
   seems to be a ghost is only hanging around with the boy   
   who loves her because he can tell her great passion that she is   
   in love with him.  The boy she is crazy about is one of those who gets   
   hives when he talks to other boys.   
      
   	Fukakai na Boku no Subete o Well a girlish boy was always alone   
   and was offered a job at at maid cafe where nearly everyone is transgender.   
      
   	Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun the ghost haunting the toilet is a boy! Still   
   he will help lovers.   
      
   	The Two of Them Are Pretty Much Like This another tale of girls   
   who love girls.   
      
   	Oshikake Twin Tail is about a hikkomori who happens to be a trader   
   working from home online.  He lives by himself until the   
   JK in the title and her mother move in with him.  She of the twintails   
   is an omni-competent housekeeper and cook.   
      
   	Comic Girls possibly future mangka in a dormitory working to   
   learn their craft.   
      
   	Hoshiakari Graphics seems to be about problems of college girls in   
   shoujo ai relationship.   
      
   	Ore ga Watashi ni Naru made (Pre-serialization) about a boy whose body   
   changes sex and his difficulties in adjusting.   
      
   	Ohayou Toka Oyasumi Toka salary man selfishly, living independently,   
   who through family complications acquires a family of 4 girls the one   
   named above who is omni-competent at home, her older   
   sister and two young twins who are really selfish and centered on   
   their own relationship.  He begins to gain some maturity in caring   
   for the children.   
      
   	Dioti Manual ~Kamisamatachi no Ren'ai Daikou~ two supernatural   
   forces embody themselves and try to learn about humanity.   
      
   	Momoiro Ome-chen a gender swap and the girl in the Boy's body is   
   rather agressive and her body does not remember the skills she gained   
   as a girl.  The boy in the Girl's body is rather worried about this.   
      
   	Trap Heroine which may be complete in 13 chapters but I hope not as it   
   was rather interesting.  Reminders of Hourou Mousoko   
      
   	Kyou mo Onnanoko wo Kouryaku shita. shoujo ai comedy   
      
   	Orient a perversion of the tale of Musashi.  I call it that   
   because it totally negates the true story which is far more interesting   
   than this far-fetched story.  I will drop this as soon as I make though   
   the first chapter,   
      
   	Fudanshi Kazoku - is a story about a family of men, two or three   
   boys and a father who are all boys love fans and one is a author/artist   
   who publishes online.   
      
   	Dosanko Gyaru Is Mega Cutei is about a Southerner who moves to Hokkaido   
   and encounters a gyaru (mega cutie) who is very helpful.   
      
   	Onii-chan wa Oshimai One morning, an older brother wakes up to find   
   that he has turned into a girl from his genius younger sister’s drugs.   
   Then Onii-chan has to adjust to her new situation.   
      
   	MOMO: The Blood Taker a vampire versus detective story.   
   Seems solid but we will see,   
      
   	Gal and Otaku can't understand each other Saotome secretly loves Moe   
   idols even though she is a Gal (Japanese term for popular girls).   
   Otonashi is what you would consider Otaku (nerd), though she also has a   
   secret.   
      
   	After Reincarnation, My Party Was Full Of Traps, But I'm Not A   
   Shotacon! It’s a reincarnation (temporary) Shota Harem manga.
