This is quite a late entry (as other entries), but I gave myself a shot at going to Kissa10 just to see what they are up to and for those who have been monitoring what’s new and what’s not at Kissa10, I’m sure most of you guys would be interested on what else you can read there. <\/p>\n

There is still no sign of Kissa10 grabbing english titles. I can understand it on their part since English titles are rather pricey, but Filipinos can all hope for it. In the meantime, just enjoy the latest manga zasshis. <\/p>\n

What is interesting is the line of shoujo mangas available in Kissa10. They have added Nana in their roster, along with other oneshot shoujo titles that I really didn’t bother to read with because they were shoujo smut, as a friend puts it. ^^;; Not that I’m being a manga elitist or something, but I did say the last time that I was planning to finish some titles. And so I did! I read Happy!<\/a> and more! <\/p>\n

I had 3 hours to try to get to read some more mangas from their shelves (which is at its 65% capacity), so naturally, I caught on Happy! which ended up having a very nice ending. I would still recommend it for the same reason. And no, I don’t hate Oohtori anymore and he has his saving grace in the series. It was a little dramatic, especially towards the latter part where scenes seem to have been ripped from a Yakuza soap opera, nonetheless, the series ends happy! <\/p>\n

I also managed to catch newer volumes of Ciguatera by Minoru Furuya<\/a>. Mangascreener has this as one of its projects and I suggest you guys give this a look as it is funny. There are some issues in the manga that was highly exploited, however one of the main issues remain unresolved (in fact, I was left hanging by volume 6 on what happened with the new bully issue. ^^;; So yes, 3 volumes just about him and his girlfriend. ;A; Great.) This is one of the few series that are okay to keep track of. But I can at least sleep on it for a while since I’m quite annoyed with the hero’s girlfriend. <\/p>\n

\"\"Another interesting manga that you guys might want to check is “School of Water Business\/Toritsu Mizusho<\/a>!” I accidentally saw this while looking through the Urasawa pile (which now has 20th Century Boys! Yay!) and this was a manga I’ve been hearing about but never really had the guts to read, until now. So far, 1 group has scanlated it, but I’m not so sure if they’re continuing it. <\/p>\n

Toritsu Mizusho! is the story of a school specializing in the ‘water business’ trade in Japan. Water business is a term that is used to refer to businesses of the pleasure trade, such as host clubs, cabaret clubs, soap salons, and the likes. So this school teaches high school kids in the pleasure trade. There are even different sections such as one side specializes in being waiters, the other in being hostesses and the likes. The students are outright funny although honestly, for me, their logic, especially on entertaining guests just fails me. XD Its not advisable for people who are queasy about issues related to the sex industry, but if you have no troubles, give this a read. It’s dead funny. <\/p>\n

Other new titles added in Kissa10 is Spirit of the Sun! I have yet to read this, but I’m sure some of you guys already know about this title. One cool aspect that they added in the shop is they now ask the customers what they would like to read in Kissa10. Naturally, dear me requested for Kekkaishi, Nodame, and Bokurano. I’d definitely kill some heads of salarymen if I ordered for BL, but maybe next time, if I cross tenchou, I might ask him if it’s okay to bring in some BL titles for fujoshi’s like me. ^^ ehehehe… <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
