  • No love for No. 6?

    • Which series? What did I forget?

      • No. 6 is also starting this week. I suppose it’s not traditional shojo, but it does run in a shojo magazine.

        • Thanks for bringing it to my attention. It is shoujo and currently runs in Aria magazine. I’ll be sure to add it, and I’ll have to check it out! 🙂
