Falling back to the Japanese cover. Level did it, too, so... :P (See Komikologi July's Perfect Girl Evolution 25 pix.) »Update: Replaced with Level's cover (not just PGE but also ARMS, Gurren Lagann and The Drops of God). And yes, the Fair Bishounen's and Sunako's faces are that yellow on my copy >.<

Sunako rawrs!
Or rather, curses. Thinking that Kyouhei kissed her at the party to harass her, Sunako places a curse on Kyouhei, summoning the vengeful spirits of Kyouhei's fangirls. Worn down, his very life threatened, Kyouhei can only survive if... Sunako kisses him back?!
Will Sunako do it? See for yourself in Perfect Girl Evolution 25, which not only compiles chapter 100, Sunako's Curse,
but also collects chapters 101 through 103: Go Go ☆ Miss Sunako,
Let's Hunt Mushrooms
and Present For You!
PGE 25 actually tied with The Drops of God 6 for top manga DO WANT!
The Drops of God 6 of 29+ by Agi Tadashi & Okimoto Shu
The long-awaited hour has arrived and the tension is palpable. Gathered in the Kanzaki mansion, Shizuku and Issei must disclose the wine they chose as the First Apostle. Issei who hears that Shizuku is not even tasting his First Apostle contender also opts not to try out his choice, 99% confident that he has correctly identified the wine described in Yutaka's will.
Who will win the first round? Whose conviction is right?
DON'T gugel and look at Wiki's Les Gouttes de Dieu page, unless you want SPOILAGE. (Seven Apostles have already been ID'd.)
From Glénat's Les Gouttes de Dieu, Tome 6 blurb, I can add that this tank also reveals the reasons that made Chosuke an avid lover of Italian wine, to the detriment of French wine. And per usual for The Drops of God, fine wines still masterfully described!
Moar previews after the release list.
