Princess Princess © Tsuda Mikiyo/Shinshokan The only manga I'm NOT getting from the Wednesday m&c! list is the shounen Junkyard Magnetic by Murayama Wataru-sensei, popular though it is. Can you blame me? Aside from the volumes you see in the post title—the penultimate Princess Princess, Crossroad 3, Special A 12, and Rasetsu's Flower 4 (You see why this release list is seemingly designed with me

Tail of the Moon (Tsuki no Shippo) © Ueda Rinko/ShueishaJust as I thought. The second installment of 2009 manga buys dropped from the previous week's.

Yeah, it's bit late since last episode aired months ago. I'm not sure yet if I do series review, but this particular episode is too awesome not to blog.

I guess I follow the order in episode, first
