Saint☆Young Men Vol.7 Chapter 44 01-05 10:00
Saint☆Young Men is slice-of-life or divine-life, tale of Jesus and Buddha as they try to experience the modern world, in this case, Japan. The manga places a funny twist on religion, attitudes, culture and customs in Japan through the eyes of Jesus and Buddha.
You see Jesus and Buddha experiencing Asakusa, public baths, theme parks, and the internet. Throughout the manga, we get a little history of their divine greatness only to see their apparent insignificance in modern Japanese society. Suffice to say, before people can recognize that they\'re actually Jesus and Buddha, people think of them as someone who looks like Johnny Depp or a guy with a button on his forehead. For real.

What's Michael 1 11-27 17:49
(from ebookjapan):
Michael\'s seemingly carefree daily life, with his pampering and begging for food, is thrillingly unpredictable, including a fall from the seventh floor and an interrogation on suspicion of theft of Pen Nibs! Michael\'s daily life created the golden age of cat manga that took the 1980s by storm!
The \"dancing cat\" that won the Kodansha Manga Award, was made into an anime TV series, a TV drama, and even appearing in TV commercials. Michael, who, has become a hit with the general public, is back in digital form! Beware of the too cute cat!

Ushijima-kun the Loan Shark 122 02-12 17:19
During the past decades, Japan has become the shining star of Asia, with its noteworthy achievements in the fields of science, technology, medicine, quality of life, and many others.
Yet, while there are a great number of rich and successful Japanese people, there are even more of those engaged in a furious struggle for something as simple as earning to cover their day-to-day living expenses; all the while battling dangerous and money-consuming addictions such as gambling and alcoholism.
What would these poor and not-so people do when they require the money to fulfill their never-ending desires, the desires that are part and parcel of being human? Just how miserable and dangerous might their lives become were they to fall into traps laid by *yamikin*, the loan sharks of the Japanese financial world\'s dark side, whose only goal is to ensnare such weak-willed souls?
Adapted into film and a J-Drama.
