Cheeky Brat Vol 2

I, Yuki, have no intention of admitting it. Never. The last thing I will ever do is plead guilty to the crime of maybe possibly having a soft spot for my cheeky playboy of an underclassman—who’s an absolute brat—Naruse. Speaking of which, instead of focusing on his strange grade school rivalry with this Shizuka guy, he needs to get his head in the game and focus on our qualifiers…!! Maybe I was expecting too much from him, after all…

I, Yuki, became the basketball team manager for one reason—I had a crush on the captain and wanted to be with him, always. But when Kido-senpai suddenly announced he got a girlfriend, where did that leave me? In the clubroom, crying my eyes out…until this cheeky brat of an underclassman showed up. And now that stupid, pretty playboy, Naruse, seems determined to wiggle his way into every corner of my life…

I don’t know what you two are up to...but I don’t want you to see him again. Well, one of my problems has been solved, at least. The Naruse-leaving- the-team-to-practice-alone- because-he-didn’t-want-to-look-lame one. But that was so much easier to deal with than the Naruse-wants-me-to-say-Ilike-him or the Naruse-wants-me-to-be-his-girlfriend problem. And now we’re adding the Naruse-jealousy drama and the Hakamada-kun-not minding-his-own-business mess into the mix too?! Gimme a break already...

LOVEY-DOVEY DRAMA Aoi and Shusei’s bond becomes ever stronger, adding to their already airtight love! But as the two of them grow closer, the lives of the people around them get turbulent. As Shouta pushes the brother he never wanted away, he stumbles upon Yudai’s diary and makes a startling discovery. Meanwhile, Eri kisses Wataru as he pines over Aoi, leading to a night of releasing pent-up anger and passion. Eri finally decides to confess her love to Wataru, but there is no telling what he might do…

As the flames of war spread across the globe, the terrans find themselves thoroughly outmatched by the Martian Kataphrakts. While Nao's brilliant tactical analysis may have enabled his ragtag unit to prevail over the Kataphrakts once or twice, these small victories are hardly enough to turn the tide. As Princess Asseylum grapples with her conscience over whether she should reveal her true identity in an effort to save lives, her grandfather--His Majesty Rayregalia Vers Rayvers--orders an abrupt cease-fire. With so many clamoring for bloodshed, how long can this frail peace hold?

This collection of graphic short stories written by Dan Bar-el contains three separate tales of strange and surprising events that all happen one Halloween night. In ?Broom with a View, ? a girl's broom for her witch costume mistakenly gets switched with a broom belonging to a real witch. Featured in ?10 000 Tentacles under the Tub? are two rambunctious boys who fight sea monsters while trick-or-treating as aqua-heroes, only to discover that their biggest challenge still awaits --- in the bathtub. In ?The Fang Gang, ? everything gets turned around for four wannabe vampire girls when they meet up with the real thing. Naturally, all the parents are clueless about what's going on (though in one, the pet dog is in on things ). The stories are just spooky enough and tempered with a touch of silly humor. They're an easy read with minimal text; some panels are even completely wordless or contain only sound effects along with the art. The engaging comic illustrations by David Huyck are darkly toned with lots of softly focused scenes, adding to the mysterious allure. Sharp-eyed readers will notice characters from one story making an appearance in the artwork of another. This book is a perfect classroom choice around Halloween, either as a fun read-aloud or as a great reference for discussing why we celebrate this holiday and the cultural origins of legends about witches, vampires and the like. But it would also be enjoyed year-round by children who like scary plots with not-quite-human character

Given how fast everything has happened, Satomi is still clueless about how dating is supposed to work. How will she forge ahead in her relationship with Yagyu? -- VIZ Media

Sasaki is...Sasaki is what to me? A heated exchange between the two leads to absolutely nothing. Well, Miyano isn’t living in a BL story, so that’s fine, right? Except Miyano feels like he’s going to explode, because he can’t stop thinking about hugging his upperclassman...and taking care of him...What does it mean to like someone anyway?
