In The Drops of God volume 7, Shizuku's work is far, far from over. Sure, it's one Apostle down, but there's still 11 to go. Instead of diving straight into looking for the 2nd Apostle, however, Shizuku is roped into finding a wine that can beat those of the top five chateaux. If he fails, Miyabi has to transfer to her friend Takasugi's company. Can Shizuku produce a wine that can delight Takasugi?

Level releases the next Rumic World collection of Takahashi Rumiko classic short stories: the 1 or W (“1 or double”) anthology.

The 1 or W omnibus actually contains nine shorts, including the titular 1orW(ワン・オア・ダブル), but I still don't know to which story the blurb below alludes:

Miyamoto ditches kendo practice and with Ichiyanagi, flees from Wakatabe, the kendo coach in hot pursuit. But when the brakes on Wakatabe's bike fail, the trio plunges from a cliff and drowns in the river below. Miyamoto and Ichiyanagi are rescued, but Wakatabe can't be found. What's more, since the accident, Ichiyanagi's personality seems to have undergone a sea change. What really happened? And can they still find and save Wakatabe?

A Hint of Purple 2 of 3 by Saito Chiho

Methinks we need a refresher. Here's the blurb I wrote for the premiere:

Shino and Akio accidentally meet in the legendary Manyo library in Doumeikan University, where first time encounters between couples lead to love. Auspicious encounter aside, the two later discover they are actually step-siblings and have to live under one roof. Despite initial awkwardness, their love does deepen, but can this romance amount to anything? Or will their newly-wed parents have something to say about it?

K, now that we have the backstory —

Shino's father suspects Shino and Akio's relationship is the farthest from platonic and sends Akio to study in the U.S. for a year. Shino and Akio acquiesce to dad's demand, to give their newly-wed parents' marriage a chance. The year passes and Akio returns. But what is he doing, bringing with him a girl named Akiko and her father?
