Rubbers 7

There is a convenience store named Rubbers 7. The owner, Munenori Tounomoto, is addicted to ping pong. He will solve any problem with that game, whether it is fighting or shoplifting.

Hiromi was caught in shoplifting and lose the game, so he has to work with no pay in that shop. Now, a reckless deviant school girl, Natsuki, is framed into a shoplifting by a perverted office man. She is not even bothered to explain the real situation to Munenori, so he challenges her on a ping pong game.

This is an interesting story with cool mobster, gay bartender, stupid high school boy and talented careless girl, and of course ping pong (the best way to solve any problem). Lol

DanDoh!!

Personally, this is not the manga I would choose at the first sight. I mean, it’s about golf. I had it in my mind that golf is a rich old man sport. Can we even call it sport when you just swing and then you can ride the car to your ball? Ha ha ha…

Well, golf is more like a mean for communication, especially in business world. Most businessmen get their contract in the golf field. That’s why some business school includes golf class as the credit student must complete before graduating.

Anyway, Dandoh tells about a 5 grade student named Tadamichi Aoba (nickname Dandoh) who had interest in golf after learning the basic from Mikiyasu Shinjo, a professional golfer. Having only 3 sticks and 3 months training, Dandoh and his friends join junior tournament.

Shion no Ou

This is the story about girls, shougi and murder. Hmm…interesting ha?

Shion Ishiwatari is a shougi prodigy. Her parents were killed 7 years ago. Her neighbor is a meijin (high rank in Shougi grade). He taught her to be a great player.

The other girl Ayumi is also making her way to expertise Shougi. In order to sum some money for her mother, Ayumi work hard. She thinks she can collect fees for her mother’s hospitalization from Shougi. But, she has to learn much before that. She’s looking for an expert to teach her more about shougi.

I always thought that Shougi is such a serious game and only men do that. But, our heroine here is eager to work as tough as she can to master it.

Honestly, this is not a manga I can understand easily, but the plot is flowing good. The art is beautiful, too.

This project is scanlated by hanashi

Shanimuni GO

This is another tennis manga. The story begins with the meeting between Ide Nobuhisa and Takita Ruui. Both come with different reason. As the prodigy in Athletic, Ide Nobuhisa let his heart blown away after seeing a sweet girl playing tennis. He is going to after her by becoming tennis club member. Takita Ruui was in junior league before, but never had magnificent achievement. He had to proof something to his father.

They are the people who will bring Makunogama High tennis Club to higher level!

But, don’t ever think that this manga resemble Tenipuri. Because the focus here is not only tennis, but the life of Ide and Takita. This is one funny and lovable manga.
