Age Rating: Older Teen Genre: Romance Price: 499 emanga points The manga adaptation of Susan Fox’s “An Arranged Marriage” is a tale of how financial struggles cause a young woman to marry a man for the sake of saving her tyrant uncle’s business. The somewhat naive and modest Allison strives to persevere when she agrees to enter a loveless marriage with the wealthy Blue Summer. Blue Summer has had his sights on Allison for a long time but after becoming wealthy he uses his new-found power to convince Allison’s uncle into trading off financial aid for the hand of his niece. Most Harlequin manga titles for me are a quick afternoon read or a nice light trashy romance to delve in for an hour or less. But the lack of development on the behalf of Blue…

Earlier this year, I reviewed the two available chapters of Mizuki by Nao Yazawa. My only complaints about the series was; 1) two chapters was not enough and 2) the emanga.com pricing was too high for something you could only read online. Well, it looks like DMP has fixed the second issue. They have released both chapters of Mizuki on the Kindle and Nook. So, now you can purchase and actually own these chapters to read anywhere! I think this is great news! This opens the market for this title to more than just folks with an emanga.com account and a credit card. Now, anyone with a Kindle, Nook or their respective apps can buy and read this great title! And at $1.99 each, the price is much more reasonable, especially since it is to own and not just rent. If you were interested in this title, but didn’t want to go through emanga, now is the time to get and read it! You won’t regret it!

Mizuki just wants to be a normal teenage girl, however, she has one problem. Whenever she gets angry she transforms into a devil! She was born into a family of devils and now it is her mission, along with her partner Sekito, to transform into a devil and fight monsters. What is a girl to do when all she really wants is to be normal!
