So many series! And so much shoujo!! I began to ponder which ones I might ask to letter as soon as I started reading the list... I think Frau Faust would be interesting, and I want a monopoly on the artist's titles here :) I'm also interested in Sleeping Beauty, and reading some reviews on MU made me curious about Waiting for Spring (considering how negative commenters there usually are, I was surprised at how well-liked it was!). I'm curious about Land of the Lustrous too, since it seemed like a lot of people have reacted to that one with excitement. Oh, and the Lily Hoshino series because she's always had such pretty art~ Hmmm... Of course, I don't know if any of these have already been claimed or would work with my schedule-I'm hopeful for a couple, and in any case I look forward to reading them when they're out here!!

I'm very happy with this announcement: Shojo galore. I've been tempted on getting "Waiting for Spring" tankobon since the art looks nice. I hope you get the titles that you want :) Fingers crossed.
I don't know anything about "Kigurumi Defense Squad" nor the art. But I'll check it out since you said the art is pretty!
eta: I enjoy reading "That Wolf-Boy is Mine!" 1 by Yoko Nogiri - the art is pretty. And the characters are nice.

Kigurumi is a Nakayoshi series, so it looks like a younger shoujo demographic (which normally isn't my thing...), but since the artist has done a range of genres, I'm hoping for something like Moyoco Anno's Sugar Sugar Rune. Just a guess at this point, though :)

I just got Wolf Boy from the comic shop yesterday and read it first thing!! I commented on the Twins' review from last week :) It was a very sweet start to the series and I'm looking forward to more!

Cool. Thanks for mentioned the Twins' review. I'll go and read it then.
"Kigurumi": The characters on the 3 covers all hold brushes and broom. That reminds me of QQ Sweeper or a TP series of a character obsessed with cleaning.
