It took just over two years, but we finally reach Oh Butterfly Oh Flower Happy Even After. If you don't want to say "Adieu" to Masayuki (Chaa-chaaan~♡) and Choko, then just *don't* GET! volume 8 :D Though I doubt you can resist, so here's hoping Level stocks are back to normal. (Word had it that they were pulled out of Gramed last week.)

Now that Yoshihara Yuki's ChouHana has wrapped—tugs on Level's sleeve—may I please have Chocolate Girl next? It's only three volumes long...
And speaking of three volumes—
