Love Affair 6 of 10 by Miyasaka Kaho
Kotori's Hikaru fangirl mode »ON! is really going to be the death of her and Yukito's love affair. Fresh from talking out one problem (the rumor that Yukito is only going steady with Kotori for kicks), our pair faces the greatest danger ever, and from a most unexpected source: Yukito's own brother — who could well be Dokimemo Hikaru's incarnation!
NEW TITLES: The Duke & I by Hara Chieko
This Wednesday, Level also launches a So old school, it's practically cobwebby regency romance, The Duke & I.
Alice works as a governess in the home of Duke Elgar, the hikikomori aristocrat who sports a scar on his face from the accident that killed his wife. Having unearthed the distant Duke's marshmallow side, Alice promises to bring back smiles to the Duke's (we assume handsome) face. Will she succeed?
Of course, and they will live Happily Even After, The End.
