Are You Alice?

There has only been two chapters that have been scanned. There isn't much information I can give you. In this story, "Alice" is a boy. He gets attack by shadows in wonderland called "regrets". Pretty much all the inhabitants in wonderland are men, including the queen. And Alice has to kill the white rabbit. Yeah that's all I got from those chapters.
The art is very different from what I'm use too. A lot of ink works rather than tones. The characters and scenes are well done.

Nonchan To Watashi

Volumes: Oneshot

Rise and Takumi have known each other since they were little kids. Even though they still see each other, they aren't as close as they use to be. They got into a conflict about Takumi's glasses and Rise still regrets not apologizing to him about it. Takumi since has changed into a big campus playboy.

Rise gets kinda pathetic with the whole "I don't belong in his life!", are you serious? It's just a pair of glasses. Even after Takumi kisses her she still acts whiny. I don't know, I guess people are just obsessed with drama. I can't totally blame her. I have my own over dramatic moments in my life.

It's about Rise admitting learning how to admit your feelings.
I didn't like it as much as I thought I would but it isn't a bad oneshot.

Talking About...

Volumes: 3 Complete
This manhwa is about three women in their late 20's / early 30's and their love lives.

Sarah is a sexy and attractive women who plans events for people to hook up with each other. But at 29 she has a secret, she's a virgin. She looks around for the right man to lose it to.

Gang-E is a manhwa-ka who is uncomfortable with the fact that she's going out with someone much younger than her.

Amber is a successful career woman who has innocent looks, but looks can be deceiving. She has hooked up with countless of men. Men love her but she doesn't get along with women very well.

I really liked this series, there are arguments, break-ups, the characters grow and change. There is a lot of talk about sex but nothing graphic, I wouldn't even consider this series smut. The series mainly focuses on Sarah and Gang-E, Amber doesn't change much in character, but she's already "refined" to begin with. The ending is very open that foresees either good or bad futures for each character.

There is a lot of shades of blue in this and it's kinda annoying, the overuse of brushes and screen tones makes the artist seem lazy. The characters themselves look good though.

Talking About... is licensed by netcomics. If you like it support the series.

Futari Ecchi For Ladies

Rating: Adults
Volumes: 2 Complete

Futair Ecchi for Ladies is for Katsu Aki. Futari Ecchi For Ladies is the most sexually explicit manga that I've ever read. This is the sequel to the original Futari Ecchi, known as Manga Sutra in the US but this time it's in the point of view of Mokoto's wife, Yura. Why didn't I read the first one instead? It's goes on for 41 volumes, that's too much sex for me to handle. I heard it gets really repetitive after the the third volume. I stuck with this 2 volume mini series.

You would think a manga involving a lot of graphic sex wouldn't have anything much to it, but it does. It brings up issues about infidelity, the importance of women sexually needs, talking to children about sex and so on. I loved that there were little pie charts and surveys of real Japanese women about their love/sex lives. It's very educational and eye-opening.

score: It's not completely scanlated but I'm going to give it a score anyway 4/5

It's Not Like That Darling

Hello everyone this is my first post.


rating: Mature
volumes: 3 complete
It's Not Like That Darling is a josei manga by Nagae Tomomi. The story revolves around a college girl named Maiko Ninomiya. After having recovered from her accident she has been having frequent erotic dreams about the same guy. One day she gets trampled by a stampede of fan girls following the new literature professor,Yukiya Nagase. Turns out he's the guy from Maiko's erotic dreams! Her heart beats fast whenever she's around this stranger. We later find out that Nagase was in a relationship with a woman named Haruka who passed away recently. She donated blood to Maiko after her accident and the theory is that Haruka's emotions are possessing Maiko's body. Maiko decides to live with Nagase to be around Touya, Haruka's young son who calls Maiko "mommy".

A couple of years ago I read the first two chapters and was hook. But there wasn't any more scandalations for a long time. Finally I've read the complete series.

The art is really nice. It's very clean and I love the use of spaces. I love the line quality and the expressions the characters make are really good. I haven't really read that many smut manga before so I didn't know what to expect. This is NOT hentai. The erotic scenes are tastefully done, very sensual and there aren't really many of them except when Maiko dreams about it in the begining. The most erotic part of this series was the extra oneshot at the end about an office worker and her boss.

The story has a lot of plot twist and gets a little cliche with the love triangle towards the end. Maiko does a big sacrifice at the end but it works out well for her, Touya and Nagase.

score: 3.5/5
