Ninkoi. Have you passed the Love Law!?

Sixteen y.o. ninja Kamui Shinobu is on her way to bodyguard famous actor Kitaoji Kou. Shinobu secretly admires Kou and this first mission is Bad for her (noisy) heart. Because a ninja AB-SO-LUTE-LY must not fall in love with her master.

Can Kou's selfishness and S-attitude prevent Shinobu from breaking the unbreakable rule? See Silent Love, one of two 3L shoujo manga debuts this release, for the has-to-be-negative answer :D (I lurved Hattori Miki's delish Heart, Body & XX even more than Not!Sibcest He Is More Than My Brother, so of course, I blurb Silent Love first. Additionally, ex-Sho-Comi Ninkoi is an "office romance" LOL.)

I preview 3L's newest Yokoyama Mayumi series—the Delinquents, Childhood Friends, Love Triangles, First Kiss, First Love, Otomental—after the two-point release list.

Other Hattori Miki manga
3L has published all to date—I already mentioned Heart, Body & XX (Kokoro mo Karada mo xx mo...) and He Is More Than My Brother (Sono Otoko, Oniichan Ijou)—so none remain after Rated For Teens Silent Love/Ninkoi's release. Unless you refer to one-shots. Hattori Miki has contributed one of seven pure love stories in Houkago, Kimi to Koi o Shite., the 2010.04-vintage Flower Comics anthology top-billed by Ikeyamada Go. (I think the one-shot is titled Kanpekina Kimi, Donkan'na Anata.) A couple more one-shots appear in May I Take Your Glasses Off? Megane - Hazushitemo Ii desu ka? (another antho led by Ikeyamada Go; Flower Comics: 2009.07; the Megane Danshi wo Hitorijime one-shot) and the Sho-Comi Girl's Collection Onnanoko wa Koi o Suru to Mousou Shichaun desu. headlined by Minase Ai (Flower Comics: 2010.12).
