I ordered it in August, even though it was almost October by the time I got it…
I winlose win: My July order just got here last week, and I paid for EMS shipping! (Curse you, Castle Mango 2.)
Katekyo! 2, 3, 4 - Moegi Yuu (sweh!)
YAY! It makes me ridiculously happy when people like the things that I like. This series didn't make the complete turn for me until Sentaro showed up in volume 3 and we see super-insightful Rin, followed by super-obsessive "I must experience ALL of your emotions" Kaede. (They don't use honorifics in the translation, incidentally, which means the bonus short at the end of volume 3 makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Take the hint and use honorifics, translators & editors. It WILL make your jobs easier.) Oh, I can't wait 'til volume 4 comes out in English.
Lest you think I will die if we aren't completely twinsy: I like the scenario in Complex 18 (or whatever the Japanese title of the short story you didn't like from volume 1 is). I think it's the BL social economy that appeals to me: super-cool guy is only artificially super-cool so that he is uncontestedly worthy of completely average nice guy. Which means completely average nice guy is the secret king of cool.
Am skipping over Caramel because that's being released in English in the next few months. Am totally mourning the fact that SuBLime has completed a digital-only release of Shizuku Hanabira Ringo no Kaori. If I ever get an iPad, I will have to *grumble* buy it. (I REALLY don't want to support digital-only translations, but it's sweh with TWO exclamation points.) I hope if Ikasama Memory gets licensed, it's licensed by someone who will put it on paper. I am so owned by Natsume Isaku.
Really belated edit: I was so excited by Katekyo! that I skipped over Hidoku Shinaide: did Nemu's mom think Maya was bullying him or just that he must be a delinquent and a bad influence? (So sad, when Maya instaliked her for giving Nemugasa her looks.) Also, I was kind of sad about the end of the graduation story. I get that Nemu doesn't get it, but sometimes it would be nice if he did, y'know? I hope there's a doujinshi where Maya reclaims that button from Juuta.
