This week, our manga spotlight has shined on Komatta Toki ni wa Hoshi & Usagi Drop! If you are unfamiliar with these manga be sure to check them out!

Komatta Toki ni wa Hoshi

Series Summary:
Fujishima Takara goes to high school and will start living in a dorm because he has lost all his family except for his father, who's always away for his work. Takara has to share a room with Hosaka Kiyomine. Living together isn't easy, and many rows ensue. Kiyomine is very introvert, while Takara is just the opposite. At first the two get on each other's nerves because of those differences. But things turn towards friendship and later on towards love.

How will the cohabitation between the bachelor and the quiet Rin evolve?

Aww too bad Usagi Drop doesn have anyone doing it anymore, ive enjoyed what ive read of it so far and its a good read.

[MsSaku]

agreed with the above. the story is really cute.

Yeah, Usagi Drops looks like a really nice series after reading the first volume. Too bad it's the premature end after four volumes with nobody scanlating it anymore. Too cruel.

I just read Komatta Toki ni wa Hoshi ni Kike... .and I can't help but wonder when they're going to scnadalize the rest of it!! (sob) Isn't it just a terrifying feeling when you realise that you're out of chapters to download when the amount you have isnt the full set!?

=( Goodluck whoever's scandalating this one, I need it! lol.

I made a post about Usagi in the other part of the forums.

Greetings,

I recently became a fan of Usagi Drop as it appeared on the front page earlier this week. Much to my dismay I have found out that the scanslator (J-Sis) has dropped the series due to licensing. I can respect that, however going by the licensor's ( Yen Press) timetable for manga releases, it will be around March 2012 until Volume 5 will be available. (Volumes 1 - 4 is available here)

I am hoping someone here or someone who knows someone else, can translate this great manga series.

I am placing the raw of volume 5 on here.

Ooooh my gosh.
I'm so happy that Komatta Toki ni wa Hoshi ni Kike is one of the Weekly mangas...
It's my favorite manga, ever.

&&@Yukito:  A while back it was being updated pretty quickly... It seems to go through "dry spells" or something.

Just read Usagi Drop.

GREAT manga. I loved every chapter.

It's very up front, realistic, and strives to really answer tough questions, much better than 99% of all media out there (manga, hollywood movies, books, shounen, tv shows, you name it). Reminds me of Bitter Virgin, but even better.

I love the art style, very visually appealing. Simple, yet appealing.

The main character ISN'T IN SCHOOL. HE'S 30. That's epic win, and again, separates it from 99.9% of all "mainstream" manga.

Fuck I love it. I want to read more!!!!
