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?
