Today’s scans posting action is 2-in-1.

Nyan Koi! volume 4 – Been released since a while now, I’m late on this one. Curse the japanese library which didn’t feel like getting any copy of it. Though actually, I’ve nothing to post about it.

Well, as always it was epic. Just that the book mainly contains two long arcs : Ichinose-sempai’s omiai, and a Kaede/Kotone double date. So scanning some pages out of context is really difficult.

Just two things I wanted to say about it though :
– Kotone-chan is awesome. I’ll have hard time not rooting for her from now on.
– Book ends with some kind of climax that makes think that the manga won’t continue to run for so long. Like, 1 or 2 volumes left if the things continue that way.

Next volume seriously needs Akari chapter and the habitual iyashi-kei Chizuru-san chapter which was sadly absent from this book.

Personal Rating :

=====

Same kinda goes for Sora no Manimani volume 7. One very long arc (almost all the book) between two random chapters. Means not so much story/romances development this time. Still, you can feel that the manga is slowly but surely reaching its conclusion.

Anyway, was lulz and heartwarming smiles on every pages as always~

The first chapter is about the tenmonbu performing a couple of stories from the Greek Mythology for a bunch of neighborhood kids.

Hime-chan is Hera~
Mihoshi is… WTF ?! XD

Then comes the main part of the book : the second Bunkasai.

Sayo-chin is LOVE
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Random nice chapter splash~

And Bunkasai means also tons of sub-chars appearing~
like… Keionbu ! XD

For having a chance at using the scene which is monopolized by ‘big’ clubs such as the Keionbu or the Engekibu, Saku decides to join forces with minor clubs such as the English Club, the ‘Muscle Maniacs’ club and the chorus club among others.
Which means even moar sub-chars XD

The sub-char angel from this volume is this cute unnammed hairband-chan from the English club <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

The English club’s performance~

Final chapter is some good ol’ awesome one-chapter-story~
And it’s lovely Hime-chan no yuuutsu chapter <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Hime-chan finds a love letter from a guy she doesn’t know… :o

XD
Read conclusion of this very nice chapter in volume 7~
Hime-chan <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

But what I found the most epic in this book is actually the omake short story : Ishi no Manimani XD
Or, how lovely Emi-chan became crazy about stones XD
Badass loli Emi-chan <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Right page : she luvs her onii-chan~
Left page : but she starts getting jealous at his clubmates XD
And decides to find out what can be that thing supposedly “more funny than spending time with Emi-chan” XD
Man that angry face on the top left is absolutely awesome XD <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Happy loli Emi-chan~

Epic bonus pages~

Just like I said, it’s likely that SoraMani will end with one or two more books. Anyway I’m really looking forward the next volume, I expect some romance development coming, and a finale with sweet tears and love.

Personal Rating :

Edogawa Miku, hawtest imouto EVAR

Again, it’s time for some SoraMani random scans posting action.

Volume 6 was all about the crew’s summer vacation. It was (as usual) filled with intense love & piece, iyashi-kei, and a bit of melancholy with some of the characters wondering about what they would do after graduation, about their future and stuffs. A very nice book which reminded of Hyakko volume 4.

Be careful, incoming scans contains major dose of moe.

Starts with obligatory Tanabata chapter and yukata service~
The girl on the left, next to Hime’s friends Emiri and Mayu, is Aiko. She appeared several times before, and she’s actually one of the cutest little things of this manga. But since she’s actually dating that horrible chonmage guy, I never felt like posting pics of her before… >_>
Anyway, awesome Hime chapter <3 <3 <3 <3

After that, it gets a very large part about the network going on obligatory camp, during which they are making their very own hand-made telescope.
Just like in the previous volume with Akina, one of the numerous super cute sub-characters gets spotlight in this book, and gets many many love points.
So this time, it’s An-san.
She appeared many times before. She’s the stars otaku combi’s kouhai. She became the new ‘leader’ of the network after that Oumi-tan and the otaku combi graduated. And let me tell you straight : she fills this book with delicate lovelyness and gentle moe.
The new #1 SoraMani super lovely sub-chara. AN-SAN IS PURE IMMACULATE LOVE.
On a side note, we get a new otaku duo~

An-san is going to attack.
OMG WHO’S THE LUCKY GUY ?!

omg she loves Saku.
*love points go up*
Yeah, I must have a fetish for girls who have one-sided love with the male lead and 0% chance to get him…
An-san <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

wait… WHAT !!!!
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO AN-SAN, YOU JERK !!!! (<<< me and Edogawa)
Answer in volume 6 XD
and moar An-san goodness inside~

3 random An-san moments, shining with innocent cuteness.

Former #1 SoraMani super lovely sub-chara Akina (she gratuated so she’s out of rank now) making a short appearance for looking over her kouhai-tachi.

An-san is SoraMani’s Ayumu : futsuu de suteki.
She gets that charm that some ‘ordinary’ girls have.
MAI ENJE~RU

Summer camp arc ends with random author talk, and the couple of most lovely SoraMani sub-chars (well Aiko is out of rank too since she has a guy…)

After that we get to see everybody’s summer vacation, in the same fashion that in Hyakko #4.
Oumi-tan saabisu~
… Roma-buchou, you lucky bastard ! XD

Edogawa-imouto (Miku) KITAAAAAAAAA !!!!!

Otanjoubi omedetou Saku~
August 15th ! just like me ! XD

And finally, obligatory “Fuumin has one of the most charming smiles in manga history” moment.
HIME-CHAAAAAAAAN T_T
Sorry… sorry but how can you cannot root for Fuumin when seeing this ? T_T

So, it was actually the last released book. Catched up with releases in japan. Means no moar random scans regarding SoraMani until a next volume gets released. Since the anime ended, where am I getting my SoraMani fix now ? T_T

Okay I’ve read volume 5 about a week ago, so it’s about time I throw some random scans.

Nothing to say in particular about it, nor many scans to post. A school year ends, a new one begins. Some characters graduates and leaves the story, and some new characters are introduced. Well, there isn’t as many new characters as in previous volumes though. It’s some kind of tradition in each SoraMani volumes to bring many cuties, but this book only contained one new cutie, surprisingly enough.

No drama, a bit of melancholy when seeing some of characters parting with the crew, but as always many many MANY relaxing love & piece.

I guess it’s enough for an intro.

Continuing the trip in mountains that started in previous volume, and it starts with onsen saabisu~ \o/
OTOME NO RAKUEN

Akina-chaaaaan <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Sayo-chaaaan <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Mai Enje~ru <3 <3 <3

Spring is approaching, means graduation time for many chars, including the awesome stars otaku duo :/
One last pic as a tribute~
AKINA MY LOVE

New grade, and Hime-chan is particularly motivated about getting new members !
Because well… She ended up being in a different class than Saku, so she does her best for not letting the club to be disbanded XD

Random super cute literature club trio panel~

And since it’s new grade, it means new chars !
And Astronomy Club gets its new cutie : Emi-chan.
But one problem : She doesn’t want to join the Astronomy club, but the Earth Science club XD (reminder : Earth Science club doesn’t exist anymore and became the Astronomy club)

Most of the time, Emi-chan gets the same plain face, but her funny faces are priceless~ XD <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

The crew gets baito for buying a telescope~
TELL ME THE ADRESS OF THAT FAMILY RESTAURANT PLEASE

Again, when I see such a smile I can’t help thinking for a short moment that Fuumin is the one for Saku.
One of the most charming smile in manga history, I tell you.
FUUMIN <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Awesome~ XD
Déjà-vu !?! XD

H : “Emi-chan you seems to be ok too, do you want to drink mine ?”
E : vomits
lol~

Last page of the book.
Saku : “(Haruko-san, you’re mistakiiiing !!!)”
hahaha~

One more book before catching up with japan… orz

:beer:

Today’s random scans posting action is about a manga I fell in love with recently, which also is actually being animated : Sora no Manimani.

I decided to check this manga when I saw the news about it being animated about 3 months ago in Newtype. Well, I will start by saying this :

If you’re not already reading/watching this, you fail.

I won’t talk about the story ’cause well… it actually doesn’t get much of a story. This is a ‘slice-of-life’ manga about an astronomy club, an iyashi-kei manga filled with Love & Piece, comedy, and a very bit of drama. If you’re into this, you just can’t miss it.

And more importantly… You never saw such a high concentration of cute girls in a manga in you life, EVAR. From the main characters, to the unnamed background sub-characters, this manga gets nothing but lovely female characters.

Ok, I guess it’s enough for an introduction. Now let’s spread many <3s as usual~

Mihoshi, the adorable genki baka who’s crazy about stars~
Saku, the main guy, is some kind of mix of Kyon and Yuuki (genderswapped Nagato) : a ‘tsukkomi’ bookworm who joins the astronomy club (not totally) against his will.

Sayo, Mihoshi’s best friend.
SO BEAUTIFUL <3 <3 <3

And then comes my fav character so far, Hime-chan.
MY ANGEL <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Buchou : “Actually, they’re not going out together…”
Hime : “EH ?”
Hime : “Buchou-san, I’m joining the astronomy club !”
XD <3
oh man that face of her on the right page… <3 <3 <3

It gets also some hawt seitokaichou, Kotozuka-sempai, aka Fuumin~
<3 <3 <3

Epic intro page for epic chapter. Hime XD

Right page : <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Mihoshi : “If you dress like that, you won’t complain if you get attacked… by mosquitos !!!”
lol~

Sayocchi <3 <3 <3
Well, sadly enough that’s pretty unlikely that she will join the love equation tho… yeah, I was hoping it would become harem manga…

The girl in the very first panel is Yoko, some lovely huge random classmate who appears occasionally. So damn cute <3
Also, she’s in love with the main guy~

Saku escapes from club’s activities, and the bookworm meets the bookworm~
I feel something nice is happening~
… not mentionning that the seitoukaichou is actually astronomy club’s natural enemy XD

Hime~ <3 <3 <3 <3
Her onee-san should tell her that when wearing pajamas, pants are unnecessary. Pajama-shita nante kazari desu, erai hito ni wa sore ga wakaranai no desu.

End of volume 1~
Right page, bottom right panel : DEH LOVE <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
I’m glad I picked up that manga~

Back cover : a hint about how will evolve the love equation ?
Anyway, many <3s

Volume 2, and SoraMani continues to get cute background characters, such as Hime’s friends Emiri (<3 <3 <3 <3 <3< 3) and Mayu (<3 <3 <3).

Mihoshi, so adorable~
naisu sukkinshippu~

Hime~ XD
lulz and many <3s

SAYOCHIN IS HAWT
Left pages : moar cute background chars : Izumi-san (short hair) and Yoshinari-san (long hair) from the literature club.
Yoshinari-san <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Hime : SO CUTE <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Emiri <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

One thing got confirmed in this second volume : Fuumin is my second fav <3

Volume 3, and new cute girls just never stop to appear XD
Saku’s best (?) friend’s imouto, Miku-chan.
SO DAMN CUTE <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

The crew starts sharing activities with other schools’ astronomy club, which means even more cute girls appearing~
Such as Ayumi, aka Oumi-tan.
Man those tsurime of her are hawt <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

There are also these 2 ‘stars otaku’ (?) from an all-girl school.
Instantly grew love for the one with long dark hair. <3

But still… Hime-chan is just the BEST.
Most epic Hime-chan moment EVAR XD
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Omake pages are Oumi-tan flashback.
aww she was all boyish before~

Volume 4, that I’ve just finished to read.
As always, was overflowing with intense Love & Piece~
Obligatory “Main guy bumps into the meganekko and accidentally breaks her glasses” chapter XD

She can’t see anything without her glasses~
Right page, bottom right panel : <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Even though Hime is my fav, I can’t help but feel for a short moment that Fuumin should be the one for Saku when she comes up with such a smile.

Square glasses~
Cute ! <3
Right page, upper right panel : Yoshinari-san <3 <3 <3 <3

Mihoshi is constantly in need for skinship, that’s why I luv her so much~
Mihoshi x Hime <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Ok, starting here it’s all about my beloved star otaku XD
Boku no mai enje~ru~

Right page : she eventually gets a proper introduction !
Her name is Akina~
Awesome otaku girl B is Minami (she’s called by her last name for some reason).
Left page : as you can expect from SoraMani, Minami is actually quite a beauty too~

nyari~ <3

And well yeah, they’re stars otaku XD
omg Akina luvs deh GARness XD

Funny face~

She also appears on the back cover !
Yay colors~

6 books have been released so far. See ya soon with volume 5~

===

As I said at the beginning of this post, the anime is actually being aired. I don’t find the character design to be as cute as in the manga, but that’s still a very cute and enjoyable show. I like the opening very much~

Hime-chan anime version <3

Sayo is still totally hawt and beautiful in the anime <3 <3 <3

Anime gets also Youko-tan~

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Left pic : The literature club = Otome no rakuen ! <3
Right pic : Yoshinari-san, right in the middle. She actually gets some nice boobage XD <3 <3 <3 <3
Some another very cute girl also appeared on the right, a bit separated from the others for some reason.

Love & Piece~

MY ANGEL !

The way this scene was animated reminded me of THIS. XD

ザ・lovely sub-characters.
Yoshinari-san <3 <3 <3
Emiri looks particularly cute with these red cheeks <3
… but I thought she was actually blonde. :o (her hair aren’t colored in the manga). I wish Edogama-imouto Miku-chan got a proper introduction like in the manga…

Fuumin is totally HAWT.
Kudos to her seiyuu Ami Koshimizu (Tenma in School Rumble), great work.

That was the 100th post of this blog~
