Beauty makeover genius Kichijoji Misako appears on TV looking like she just rolled out of bed and didn't even bother splashing water on her face before going out? What's gives in To be Beautiful volume 6? Apparently, no longer content to just make others ecstatic, Misako now wants to snatch her own happiness. To this end she invents a machine—a mold, actually—that can churn out pretty girls and wants to market it.
Will this beauty shortcut actually gladden anyone? Find out for yourself in the To be Beautiful finale.
Speaking of finales, volume 12 of Inoue Kazurou's Love & Collage dumps Hachibe in hot water, after Sakurako, who takes it upon herself to clean out his room, discovers Hachibe's parts photo collection. This as Taniyama tells Hachibe that he and Sakurako have rekindled their relationship.
Will Sakurako really depart for England? And what will Yukari do to cheer up the despondent Hachibe? And will Hachibe ever end up regretting his love and lust for discrete female parts?
Now for a detour to ancient Greece. In volume 4 of Iwaaki Hitoshi's award-winning Historie, troops from Tios launch an assault upon Boa, the village where Eumenes lives. As the soldiers surround the village, Eumenes hatches up a surprising counterattack.
What has Eumenes planned for the Tios aggressors? Will it be enough to secure a victory for the Boa residents?
