Boku kara Kimi ga Kienai © Aikawa Saki/Shogakukan (First serialized in Sho-Comi)
Published in Indonesia as You Can't Disappear From Me by Gramedia/m&c!
Hotaru's unease over Yukako and Kousuke ending up partners mutates into outright fear after finding Kousuke bleeding from a escapee robber's stab wound —
—and we all know that DAL (Deep And Abiding Love), no matter how unwilling, turns non-negotiable stubborn in the face of a soulmate endangered. So, looking forward to official Kousuke x Hotaru coupleship in You Can't Disappear From Me 3.
Ya, ya, I know the newsworthy releases are Alive 19, Shinobi Life 8, .hack//G.U.+ 4, The Minami Family 6 and the award-winning Aoizaka Baseball Club 15, series MIA for at least half a year, if not longer. But as the latest Shinobi Life busies itself with ninja power struggles (to KageBeni WAFF detriment)—or more to the point, because this is MY blog and I'm a self-professed shoujo fangirl—I choose to lead with You Can't Disappear From Me for the second week in a row. Deal, k(udasai).
Ongoing manga and manhwa previewing resumes momentarily.

romance comedy originally serialized in LaLa DX:
Uehara Kobato leaves New York City and returns to Japan to search for her older brother, reportedly working in showbiz.

In such intimacy, it's only a matter of time before Takeru discovers Kobato's secret.
Most of Tsukimiya An-sensei's works appear to be one-shots, but she also created the eight tankou shoujo fantasy Rakuen Route.
