Is it Mytho? I think I need to hang it on my wall now.
I always go for the new! (Unless I hear the new sucks.) I tell myself I'm investigating new fiction opportunities for Business Purposes but really it's all about the New Shiny.
Everything from Luv Luv has been worthless except for the short story collection Object of Desire, which I really liked, largely for the women who actively seek out and enjoy sex and don't roll around moaning about feeling dirty and weeping. I liked most of the shorts, but the standouts are the title story (quoted in the blurb), about a girl who likes sex (and wants to be a professional shogi player!) but is sick of guys pretending they want a relationship to get laid; and the two-part "Oil & Water"/"With Lemon," about the relationship back-and-forth between the asskicking braniac high school tomboy and the insecure class goofball. I loved them and wish they'd've gotten an entire volume to themselves.
Re: fashion manga, I was pleasantly surprised by a twist that direction in the newest volume of Love*Com, if you are not already all over that series like syrup on pancakes as you totally should be. Anyway, Aurora is not allowed to publish anything else and/or vanish from the earth until they have fulfilled their spiritual Walkin' Butterfly 4 obligations to me, demmit! Or I will haunt their (disbanded?) presses from beyond the graaaave.
In related news: please die in a fire, OneDramaQueen.com, and let your Hinako Takanaga licenses go to their peaceful final rest and resurrection elsewhere. D: D: D:
