Kimi no Tonari de Seishunchuu © Fujisawa Shizuki/Shogakukan [First serialized in Betsucomi] · Sanevurin no Majo © Soya Yuka/Akita Shoten [First serialized in Princess]. Published in Indonesia as My Youth with You and Sanevurin Witch by PT Tiga Lancar Semesta/Tiga Lancar Comic (3L)
Only one more tankou and I can close my personal My Youth with You chapter.
Keita decides not to move abroad with his parents, which of course gladdens Miu. But her joy over spending days with her boyfriend doesn't last long, what with the Big What are you planning after graduation? question pressing for answers. Depressed because she can't keep up with Keita and her friends, Miu finds salvation with...transfer student Serizawa?!
We're already at volume 7 of 8 and Fujisawa Shizuki-sensei throws this at us? Whoo, boy. Methinks I'll wait till 3L releases the finale and marathon the thing to head off any teeth-gritting frustration over possible evil cliffies.
I'm more optimistic about the debuting Sanevurin Witch, especially after seeing the droolicious cover of volume 2—oops, getting ahead of myself. Preview first:
Sanevurin Witch vol 1 of 2
By Soya Yuka
“Whomsoever finds the wings will receive the protection of Sanevurin...”
To take the witch test, Monika exchanges the safety of home for the uncertainty of the outside world. Studying is her priority, as is dropping her wings — and hoping that whoever finds them is hawt. Unfortunately for Monika, she meets...an obnoxious old(er) guy!?
Sanevurin Witch only spans two volumes. It first serialized in Akita Shoten's Princess. Soya Yuka-sensei also created these shoujo manga, either for Princess or Princess Gold: Ozu to Saigo no Majo AKA Oz and the Last Witch (one volume published 2010.11), Rakuen no Blend (2006.10) and Toppen Kamuden e Youkoso (seven volumes compiled between 2000.08 and 2003.09).
