Misaki and Usagi have been living together for over a month now, but when a beautiful female editor named Aikawa enters the picture, will Misaki question his love for Usagi? Later, things get rocky in Hiroki and Nowaki's relationship when Nowaki contemplates leaving to study abroad! Will anything give these couples a happy ending?

Miyagi finds closure to his first love by confessing to his second. But such passion and emotion may be too much for Shinobu, taking away the young lover's independence. Can the two find a balance between being together and being themselves? Meanwhile, Misaki receives a shocking confession from a rival love, and the Egoists play a round of give-and-take while planning a date!

Misaki knows that living with Akihiko Usami, the ever popular boys love novelist, can be challenging. Being in a relationship with this egotistical (and sadistic) man turns the challenge into mission impossible! And when Akihiko's jealous, pushy cousin moves in and tries to wreck havoc into Misaki's already chaotic life, all hell breaks loose!

Misaki is struggling to pass his college entrance exams and has taken up a tutor, Akihiko. Misaki realizes he may be developing feelings for the older man.

It's the day of the award ceremony for Usami, but Usami's older brother, Haruhiko, can't keep his hands off Misaki. A series of events leads to a kidnapping as Haruhiko drags Misaki off to his rich estate and locks him up.

Grand in its scope, Asian Comics dispels the myth that, outside of Japan, the continent is nearly devoid of comic strips and comic books. Relying on his fifty years of Asian mass communication and comic art research, during which he traveled to Asia at least seventy-eight times and visited many studios and workplaces, John A. Lent shows that nearly every country had a golden age of cartooning and has experienced a recent rejuvenation of the art form. As only Japanese comics output has received close and by now voluminous scrutiny, Asian Comics tells the story of the major comics creators outside of Japan. Lent covers the nations and regions of Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, the Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam. Organized by regions of East, Southeast, and South Asia, Asian Comics provides 178 black-and-white illustrations and detailed information on comics of sixteen countries and regions—their histories, key creators, characters, contemporary status, problems, trends, and issues. One chapter harkens back to predecessors of comics in Asia, describing scrolls, paintings, books, and puppetry with humorous tinges, primarily in China, India, Indonesia, and Japan. The first overview of Asian comic books and magazines (both mainstream and alternative), graphic novels, newspaper comic strips and gag panels, plus cartoon/humor magazines, Asian Comics brims with facts, fascinating anecdotes, and interview quotes from many pioneering masters, as well as younger artists.
