January 28, 2013 at 10:07 pmI also enjoyed this edition of “My Week in Manga”.
Sometimes, saying that you hate an artistic work is a much higher compliment than saying that an artistic work is boring. I think this is one of those cases.
I’ve read Happy Mania all the way through, I’ve read part of Flowers and Bees, and I think (though I am not completely sure) that I’ve read the beginning of Sugar Sugar Rune.
