Monthly Lala 08/2011~

Heya folks! This post is totally late due since Lala 9 has already been released! I have yet to make my order on amazon but I might wait until Lala DX 9 is available so I can ship them all at once. I hope I can be that patient since Amano Shinobu has her new work in Lala 9, very excited!

There are ‘two’ cover pages this time celebrating Hakusensha’s two cash cows – Natsume Yujincho & Ouran High School Host Club. Natsume with a 3rd season & live action drama for Ouran, Hakusensha has got it good.

Onto the freebies! A Nyanko-sensei fan! The immediate thought I got was Bon festival. Going to the Bon festival with Takashi… Anyway, check it out below. One side is black, one side is white:

Do you find them cute or freaky? I’ll be waving this at my screen while I watch Natsume Yujincho. My plan to write consistent episodic posts seem to have failed so far hahaha. Must get to it!

Gakuen Babysitters by Tokeino Hari

Pages were huge so I had to combine each page together. Sorry, some gutters are horrible.

Love the summer feel in this chapter! My BL pairing take their brothers to a festival! I lost count of how many times Taka has been crying. Never has a child crying been more pleasurable. Okay nvm. Anyway, Tokeino Hari, you so geniusssss!

Faster than a Kiss by Tanaka Meca

Omgosh, best part of this issue of Lala. This is one hilarious chapter, really liking this Shouma!!!

It demands fangirl-ing.

Vampire Knight by Hino Matsuri

Suzu Mosu by Tohko Mizuno

New series, I actually haven’t checked it out yet so no comment.

Ryu no Moriuta by Akizuki Sorata

Erm…a bit of a disappointment I think. It didn’t particularly strike me. It was smooth and gentle like Akizuki Sorata’s other works. Good concept, impeccable art, but a little flat…

Ookami-heika no Hanayome by Kauta Mato

Love, love the chapter cover! I want to see them all lovey-dovey especially since the girl isn’t the lovey-dovey type(but enjoys it).

Sweet!

Chotto Edo Made by Tsuda Masami

Toshokan Sensou: Love & War by Author: Arikawa Hiro and Artist: Yumi Kiiro

Great chapter cover! Omgosh if they really did a Alice in Wonderland chapter it’d be the fantastic! Especially with all their personalities!

But no, our heroine gets molested instead.

Junai Labyrinth by Nakaji Yuki

SFX: DUN DUN DUNNN

Dai Uso Swing by Tsujita Ririko (Final Chapter)

Tsujita Ririko makes her male characters look very appealing I must say. You’d be like, oooh, eye candy.

Hyakunen Renbo by Mashiba Nao

Brief-er than usual post I guess. I need to get packing. Might be away from internet for maybe a week, not liking the sound of that. Thanks for viewing this very short round-up and let’s meet in the next post.
