With little chance of escape, his only hope is to sow chaos among Donny's men, presenting the perfect opportunity for Chateau to break in and come to his rescue! But will she make it to Ryang-Ha in time, or will she end up another puppet on Donny's volatile stage?

Review- Ryang-Ha is taken to the mysterious Donny, who seems to known the person who Ryang-Ha got his name from. The group is full of broken and dangerous people and they have questions for both Ryang-Ha and Chateau. Chateau is only getting more confused by Ryang-Ha and his actions, not that he is helping by explaining himself. This volume is mostly action with little plot or character growth but that didn't bother me as I think that this volume is setup for future growth in both plot and character. Chateau and Ryang-Ha are reunited at the end with enemies all around them and the only one they want alive is Chateau. Good hook for the next volume, so I'm looking forward to seeing what is going to happen next.

Review- This volume is more focused on the relationship between Kaoruko and Kaname. To be a real Black Witch, Kaoruko can't be a virgin but she doesn't want an incubus for her first time and neither does Kaname. So Kaname does what they both want and he goes to her. So now they are lovers and that causes backlash for both. Also Kaoruko thinks like a White Witch and that makes the Black Witches very uncomfortable with her. But she is a natural with magic, so she learns how to act like a Black Witch, even if she still thinks like a White one. More drama has been hinted at and I look forward to seeing it.

Review- This volume picks up right where the last volume ended with Chateau's boss being stabbed and Ryang-Ha finding him. The volume is a game of cat and mouse with the killers, who want Ryang-Ha, and are willing to do anything to get him. With everything happening, Chateau is under a lot of stress and she is at the end of her rope. But Ryang-Ha is not going to lose her after finding her again.

Review- Kaoruko's powers are just getting stronger and Kaname can't understand why. He is trying to investigate what is going on with her and how he can protect her. But they come to the attention of the Black Witches Coven and they want to know what is going on too. The plot is slowly unfolding and I'm not sure where it is going, other than romance. But that's fine for now, I'm enjoying the characters and seeing how Kaoruko is changing and growing. But more drama soon!

I give this volume a Four out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.

The grandfather knows that not only is Tsubaki not is his grandson but that he has a granddaughter out there somewhere. Nao is really feeling the pressure now. The mother-in-law is starting to really get crazy and she may try anything to keep her hands on the shop. As the plot goes, it just keeps getting better with very twist.

Among the shocking news that Kaname imparts is that Kaoruko’s mother is still alive and has entrusted Kaoruko with the immense power of the Witch Queen. As long as Kaoruko has that power, she will be the target of humans and demonic spirits alike. Kaname claims to be a “knight” that protects witches, but then he steals a kiss from Kaoruko…!

Review- Kaoruko is running a small herbal shop in a small village until a man comes and tells her that she is a witch and her mother is the black witch queen. For some reason, now Kaoruko's magic is out of control and Kaname has come to help her. That is the set-up for the story. This is going to be a very heavy romance story and I'm fine with that. I hope that we get more world building in the next volume. I want to know why Kaoruko's magic is getting out of control now and why did her mother send Kaname to help her? I am looking forward to the next volume. 

I give this manga a Four out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.

I like how honest they are with each other from what they want to their plans for the future. This is has been a adult romance with two characters who learn and grown over the course of the series. The roamnce in the story was a vehicle for the character growth, as they grew together both Nanase and Kairi were forced to face themselves and their faults.

Meanwhile, Chitose finds herself still worried over Kokoro’s rumored fiancée… With all these new developments, will the Japanese skaters still be able to secure enough points to guarantee Japan’s entry into the Olympics?

Review- Chitose and Kokoro are getting closer but he is worrying about getting into the Olympics when he gets injured. it causes some friction with other skaters but the important thing is the arranged marriage of Kokoro. This continues to be a fun series. With interesting characters and lots of drama, both on and off the rink, I am having a good time reading this.

Now that Kotaro and Asako have gotten used to living together, they've started to think about what their future holds. It's an exciting—and somewhat terrifying—prospect, one made all the more difficult when the haunting reappearance of a ghost from Asako's past threatens their happily ever after...

Review- Things are pretty intense in this volume with Asako dealing with her childhood trauma. Of course she is trying to just push it away instead of dealing with it and her relationship with Kotaro is sufferings for it. But Kotaro knows her pretty well now and he is not going to let her go without a fight. I like seeing that Asako deal with the trauma of bullying and how it just does not go away when you become an adult, how it can effect your life. I think that Asako and Kotaro continue to have some of the most realistic relationships I have read, with problems and communication. I like that not everything is just okay, that they have to choose to be in this relationship. I look forward to the next volume.

I give this volume a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.

Review- This volume is really about Kairi dealing with his past and how it could affect his future. Nanase has some good moments in this volume with her insight into what Kairi really wants to do and she supports him in making a big decision. I like how much both characters have grown over the course of the series. Nanase is much more comfortable with herself and expressing what she wants. Kairi is more honest with himself and his fears. I look forward to the next volume and seeing how this series will wrap up. 

I give this volume a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.

Review- All the secrets of the past are out now. Miso remembers what happened and who she was with when she was kidnapped. Miso and Youngjun have a good heart-to-heart and decide to move forward together. Miso's dad is also in this volume and he's pretty funny.

They clear the air and make peace with each other. The volume ends with Youngjun proposing to Miso and her accepting. I'm look forward to the next volume to see what happens next.

So Tendo gets to feel a little jelous about Nanase. I liked seeing him, having to deal with other people seeing all the good qualities about Nanase. But trouble is coming in the form of ex, I think.

What's Wrong with Secretary Kim?, Vol. 2 (Volume 2)

The cover has Young Jun on it. As it is the second volume in the series, you need to have read the first volume to understand the story. There no foul language, no sex, and no violence in this manga. The intended reader is someone who likes silly rom-coms and office romances. The story is told in mostly from Miso's perspective. There Be Spoilers Ahead.

As he brings to bear everything he has―looks, wealth, and sheer determination―Miso does find herself thinking about her boss more and more...Are his efforts finally starting to pay off?

Review- This series continues to be very funny and fun to read. We do get some hints about Young Jun dark past but no idea about how it may involve Miso. The funny is mostly Young Jun being jealous in a silly way about Miso and her not noticing anything. With his older brother's return, the plot maybe getting more serious but I'm willing to see where we're going from here. 

I give this volume a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I borrowed this manga from my local library.

What's Wrong with Secretary Kim? Vol. 1

So when he discovers she’s leaving in order to find a husband, the only logical way to keep her at his side is...offering to marry her?! Too bad she’s just not that into him! 

Review- This is a hilarious comedy with romance. Miso Kim just wants to get married, have a child, and never see her boss again. He is very OCD, and as far as he is concerned, their live is perfect. So he shocked when Miso tells him that she is leaving. He decides that he is going to do whatever it takes to keep her with him, even marry her himself! This is a very funny comedy of errors and manners. I would recommend this and if you really like it, you can try the TV show that is based on this. 

I give this volume a Five out of Five stars. I borrowed this manga from my local library and I receive nothing for my review.
