KOBATO., Volumes 1 and 2
by CLAMP
Meet Kobato Hanato, a sweet and rather simple young girl on a quest to have her single, dearest wish granted. But first, she must learn the ways of the world from Ioryogi-san, a gruff blue dog whose bark is just as bad as his bite! Under his "tutelage" (read: constant verbal abuse), Kobato puts her efforts into passing various trials of common sense so that she may obtain the key to getting her wish — a magic bottle which must be filled with the suffering of wounded hearts that Kobato herself has healed. But with Kobato's common sense sorely lacking, she keeps flunking Ioryogi-san's trials left and right! It looks like the road that lies ahead of Kobato will be a long one indeed!
This charming comedy from the internationally acclaimed and bestselling manga team CLAMP is sure to touch its own share of hearts along the way!
MY GIRLFRIEND'S A GEEK, Volume 1 (MANGA)
story by Pentabu, art by Rize Shinba
All penniless college student Taiga Mutou wants is a cool job and a cute older woman as a girlfriend. So when he spies a Help Wanted sign outside an office and a hot girl inside, he applies for the job, no questions asked. After a few bumps at the beginning, things start going Taiga's way, prompting him to steel his courage and ask out Yuiko, that hot girl he spied through the window, on a date. And when she later asks him if it's okay that she's a fujoshi (a very, shall we say, distinct kind of comics/animation geek), he tells her it's fine out of sheer excitement. But poor Taiga has no idea how much trouble he's just gotten himself into!

And with the aid (and occasional interference) of a few of the Phantomhive house's numerous acquaintances, little stands in the way of the young earl getting to the bottom of this mystery. However, one question remains…can he handle the shattering truth behind it?
