insanenekoBefore I forget (again), Dangerous Pleasure has released the next chapter of "In the Walnut" by Kawai Toko. How I love this manga. It's really only peripherally BL, but I love the heart-tugging aspects and the art (as always). They have a zillion different ways to download the chapter at their site. On a side note, I became very annoyed at Kawai-sensei and her editor while translating the chapter. While doing research on the chapter, I initially searched online for "Paul Clay" because on a book in the background that was how the artist featured in the chapter was spelled. I found NOTHING and started wondering if he was even a real artist. When I searched under the Japanese katakana, I hit the jackpot. Paul KLEE. Hello, not that hard to find out the correct way to spell the name. >_< Translating becomes so much more difficult when the original material is just plain wrong.
It's amazing how cliched romance novels work or don't work. This latest crop I got this week I'm only lukewarm about. I'm going to try reading them again to see if I was missing something the first time around, but I feel somehow let down. At least the art is pretty nice, though.

mirichan, it looks like Winter Cicada (Fuyu no Semi) from Haru wo Daiteita is going to be animated. Ah...lovely tragic love story. I've been trying to find some kind of official confirmation and failing. So far I found one reference to the OVA on a Japanese blog. *sighs*
Viaarisuesei, the main NANA anime cast as announced in Cookie:

Paku Romi? My initial reaction was "Huh?" It'll be interesting to hear her as Nana. The others I'm not sure about, except for Seki. That one is too easy to imagine. ^^;
