Tsukimi Kurashita has a strange fascination with jellyfish. She’s loved them from a young age and has carried that love with her to her new life in the big city of Tokyo. There, she resides in Amamizukan, a safe-haven for girl geeks who regularly gush over a range of things from trains to Japanese dolls. However, a chance meeting at a pet shop has Tsukimi crossing paths with one of the things that the residents of Amamizukan have been desperately trying to avoid—a beautiful and fashionable woman! But there’s much more to this woman than her trendy clothes! This odd encounter is only the beginning of a new and unexpected path for Tsukimi and her friends.

Why?:
I absolutely loved the anime for this
series, and knew it was just a matter of time before someone licensed the
manga. I’m so glad that Kodansha finally did, and that they’re doing it in nice
editions, in large format. I’m not sure what all it’s going to entail, and I
don’t really care. It’s going to be amazing, no matter how they do it. This
series reminds me of a college version of Ouran
High School Host Club, and that really says it all.
Admittedly, I am a little afraid about
how the art is going to look, compared to the anime, but I’m being hopeful
about it. And I'm determined to learn to love it if I don't at first.
Also, this series is available on
Crunchyroll already. I only found that out recently, and it’s so hard waiting
for the print edition instead.
What’s on your list?
