Kmi Wa Petto, got me really hard, when i first bought the first volume... and I was like waiting like creazy for the next volumes, that were 14 in all. I'm totaly in love with Momo and Sumire... it's actualy fun to se what situations happen between then with their Master-Pet relationship... this manga is a must if you like comedy and romance. The story concerns Sumire Iwaya, a journalist at a major newspaper. A career woman in a society that does not handle successful women well, Sumire suffers from depression and anxiety. She also has hobbies that are very un-feminine, such as being a fan of pro wrestling, K-1, and shŨnen anime. After her fiancé leaves her for his mistress and Sumire is demoted at work, she stumbles across a young injured homeless man in a box outside her condominium. She takes him in and becomes attached to him. As a joke, she says she wants to keep him as a pet. To her surprise, the young man agrees. She names him Momo, after her beloved dog from childhood. Sumire provides room and board, and Momo provides unconditional love and loyalty. Sumire says there is no sex in their relationship, and she will only sleep with men who have the "three highs": higher pay, higher education and higher height (i.e. taller than her 170 cm.) Despite this, there is definite sexual tension in their relationship. Sumire later learns that Momo's real name is Takeshi Gouda, and that he is a dance prodigy who studied classical ballet but was too short to take the lead roles. He switched to modern dance, and lived a semi-homeless life before meeting Sumire. When it is revealed that he and Sumire know one another, Momo passes himself off as Sumire's second cousin. Complications arise when Sumire is reunited with the man with whom she was infatuated during her time at Tokyo University, Shigehito Hasumi. Hasumi meets all of Sumire's requirements. However, Sumire cannot quite open up to Hasumi-senpai, or give up her attachment to Momo. For example, Sumire lets Momo call her by her personal name, while she struggles to let Hasumi call her "Iwaya" instead of "Iwaya-san." Takeshi (a.k.a. Momo) starts to have feelings for Sumire-chan (Iwaya), as well and they began to have feelings that go way beyond those of a pet and its Master. When Hasumi meets Momo, he recognizes Momo's face but can't put a name to him. When Hasumi does some research on Iwaya-san's so-called cousin, he discovers that Takeshi was a child ballet prodigy and becomes friends with him. Takeshi, of course, has to keep the fact that he is also "Momo" to himself, even when Hasumi repeatedly brings the topic of Sumire's pet up in their conversations. |

I was quite sceptic about this manga in the begining, but then, I decided to read it, when I begun I only found scans online, now I can buy it in Italian. It's actualy the story of Sena - a boy that in his life knows only how to run and hide behind a friend, but then he gets an ocasion to make himself someone playing as a running back for the Devil Bats Team and under the not really normal training of Hiruma. Along his way he'll become stronger meeting a lot of strange people. |

I'm a big fan of the CLAMP, so I had to read this one too, I think this one is my favourite manga made by the CLAMP. I just simply love how they make they characters, and the moment you meet Watanuki, you can't do other then fall in love with him... and his disadventures. Anyway, you have to follow also Tsubasa Reservoir cronicle, because the two are crossovers with each others (but in xxxholic you can also meet Kazahaya and Rikuo from Lawful Drug)... it's a good reading material Watanuki Kimihiro is haunted by visions of ghosts and spirits. Seemingly by chance, he encounters a mysterious witch named Yuuko, who claims she can help. In desperation, he accepts, but realizes that he's just been tricked into working for Yuuko in order to pay off the cost of her services. Soon he's employed in her little shop, a job which turns out to be nothing like his previous work experience! Most of Yuuko's customers live in Japan, but there are times that costumers arrive from other demensions. . . . |

As a work signed by Yaya it already gives the idea that is something really good if you like her style. I find really great how she makes her character to grow up in the manga slowly from an idiot to a more selfonscious idiot (because Madoka-chuu will always be an idiot uke). It's one of her longer series, and I really like how she makes the stories - making me feel I'm there too. (From blu) Get ready for hot tea and hotter action in this tale of opposites attracting on the tatami mats. Poor Tokumaru Madoka is just a regular energetic guy that can't seem to go even five minutes without breaking something. One day his hapless sister has had enough, and she forces him to join their high school's Tea Ceremony Club, hoping to instill a little discipline in her hopeless klutz of a brother. Tea Ceremony Club president Hasune Kazuma is Tokumaru's complete opposite. The tall, dark president is the pinnacle of restraint, having been taught from a young age how to uphold his family's traditions. The sophisticated president and his awkward pupil conceal a brewing attraction, but they can't avoid steaming each other up. But even full to the brim with passion, will the two of them be able to bridge their differences and get along with each other? |

This is one of the manga I prefere, Junjou holds my heart, and I live with them. There are all upsanddowns but you feel with every couple and their love problems...

At first, Misaki is disgusted by Akihiko, but slowly, Misaki realizes he may be developing feelings for the older man. And so begins the bumpy relationship of this odd couple, filled with comedy and pure romance... |
