Title Notes:

With a single protagonist taking care of two younger siblings, and a sweet romantic plot, this is sure to appeal to readers who loved the family-focused story of Sweetness & Lightning.

In the long tradition of hit anime and manga franchises like Tenchi Muyo! and Urusei Yatsura, this series features an alien who assures the main character that they were meant to be together.

There’s always a market for fun manga about manga artists, like Bakuman and Monthly Girls’ Nozaki-kun.
