by Tiga Lancar Semesta/3L
Whoever observed that one should be careful of what one wishes for was really on to something. Because never would I have dreamed when I asked for 3L to license the prequel to Takada Rie's Doctor's Love that I would get it. (And within two months of the Doctor's Love premiere, too.) And now that it's supposed to be in stores, it would really test my GET! anything Takada Rie courage to walk up to a cashier carrying — Couple who Love Buttocks 1.
Because over and above the title's egregious singular/plural disagreement (Couple
is singular, d*mmit!), how can you keep a straight face whilst hanging on to a manga titled Couple who Love Buttocks
?? And for two more times after that at that? (The josei series spans three volumes.) Sure, the original 「ふたりはおしり愛」 does translate into some serious rear end love, butt! I mean, but!
ROTFLMAO over, here's the Futari wa Oshiri Ai synopsis:
Kuraku Budou. A ‘sinful’ man who makes flowers bloom in the hearts of his patients. But the genius colorectal surgeon turns out to be One Giant Ego, as Asako—living with, working for, and worshipping Kuraku-sensei—finds out to her mortification.
For once the biseinen doctor strips off his white coat, he transforms into one willful dude who upends Asako's life.
Only time will tell if Asako can withstand the doctor's overtures.
That there's a sequel implies...

Can I Hug You by Hanaya En
I'm afraid someone's going to take her away from me...
So goes honor student Ushio's predicament. Ushio's top-notch grades force him to choose between his girlfriend and studies at a Tokyo university. But he just can't help angsting over who might be putting the moves on his beloved Ruka—not known for her perspicacity when it comes to men (read: she's a little dumb)—while he's away.
Can Ushio's peace of mind, what little there is of it, endure a long-distance relationship?
Baka-Updates Manga points out in its Dakishimete Ii desu ka entry that this Hanaya En antho also contains shorts: Hitorijime Shitai,
Suki to Ienakute

Shinobi Girl by Kayono
By day I'm just a high school girl set apart from my classmates who, for various reasons, keep their distance; by night, however, I become one very popular host, mobbed by female guests. I am Shinobi Girl.
One day, Secretly a Woman
Yuuka meets Renka, a female patron, and loses both her heart and...body!?
A unique love story between two who conceal their true identities from each other
is how 3L hypes Shinobi Girl, known elsewhere as Secretly a Woman
(from ShoujoMagic's scanlation). Baka-Updates Manga has synopses for the other two stories in its Shinobi no Onna entry: Butterfly Night
with its the rogue who takes Princess Sheherazade's virginity for revenge premise and the Deal with a Devil Lovers in the Tower that Touches Heaven.
