This week's Pick of the Week goes to Belladonna's Love, a three-story collection about relationships between women praised for its variety and delicate, beautiful writing. Also highlighted: Journal de celibataires, a brief but sharply observed 'essay-manga' by Mari Okazaki on the social pressures placed on single people (especially women); Love of Kill volume 4, praised for dramatic twists and the increasingly compelling bond between Chateau and Ryang-ha; and ODR volume 2, noted for successfully closing out its chaotic, historically-grounded action drama.
