Assassin & Cinderella
Quote:
The story doesn't delve into what makes this girl so special in his eyes, and even highlights the fact that he's probably not completely sane.


"Love (Lust) at First Sight" would be the most probable cause. Plenty of men and women have fallen to this. With their obsessions ruining their lives and the lives of their object of affections. More so for their victims. Nothing else matters, not the job or society's expectations.

At Your Service in Another World
Yeah, boss orders (blackmails) his clerk to 'service' the firm's top salesman to help him relieve his pent up stress. Which would be the real world's equivalent.

Thanks for the reviews for this particular genre, saw a few books that seem to be interesting.

It's cool that another merryhachi manga was licensed; yuri tends to just disappoint me most of the time, but Tachibanakan Triangle was a bit of good but stupid fun.

Pink Heart Jam was a manga I forgot about twice - I saw it in a bookstore recently, and was like "did I already buy that?" and then seeing the sequel made me check my Kindle app to see if I bought it, and if I read it. I own both volumes, so I'll have to reread them and consider buying the sequel.

Punks Triangle sounds alright, but the artwork and character designs really make me want to read it. Characters with lots of piercings always get me interested, hahaha.

Out Of Control is somewhat impressive in just how many things it seems to contain that I do not like. Definitely not for me!!

I kind of assumed that was done on purpose but then mdo7 started a thread from the hub article.

Oh yeah, this was done on purpose I guess to help distinguish it from the manga that aren't 17/18+ category.
