My Rating:
Short Summary: Adrian, a teacher with a bad past, seeks male prostitutes and kills them until he falls in love with one named Lawrence.

Volumes: 1-2
My Rating:
Short Summary: Persocoms are computers with human form, and the story begins when Hideki finds one in the trash and takes it home with.
My Comments: I actually liked the first volume. I thought it was cute and funny, but then the second volume was a disappointment, so I stopped there. It just became too emo all of a sudden.

My Rating:

Name: Confidential Confessions
Mangaka: Momochi Reiko
Language: English
Volumes: 1
My Rating:
Short Summary: This manga is filled with short stories about issues concerning teen such as suicide, rape, prostitution, etc.
My Comments: I thought it was cool to have a series focused on real life issues, but because there aren't recurring characters or a continuous story, it didn't really hold my interest.
Short Summary: Teito is a former slave and amnesiac who was at a military academy until an incident put him in prison, and he escaped to a the church in the 7th District. While he quests for knowledge of his past, he becomes involved with the Gods, Verloren, and the 7 Ghosts.
My Comments: For some reason, the first volume felt hard to keep track of, not just the events but characters too. It doesn't make me want to read any more of it.
