I'd be       interested in seeing what you are reading. I'm following a couple of dozen and       I'm interested to see if we have any of them in common.       >       > Thanks =       >       > Dave Baranyi               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.                     [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
