Opinions for the manga:
From tethysdust:
My favorite of this week's is Imuri, a science fiction adventure tale. The beginning of the story sort of reminded me of Dune, and the artwork is really interesting (kind of a line art style). Also, Akuma no Ikenie is the one to pick if you want your reading to include a lot of scantily clad/naked girls.
From vyc:
Asashine - very adult/violent manga series featuring top assassins fighting each other. I love it so far and cant wait to see more chapters. Zettai Harem & Happy Girl - lots of full blown sex scenes. Again a warning, it's mature content. Gotta say, pretty hot though....
As for me:
Akuma no Ikenie sounds like a mix between Princess Lucia, Itsuka Tenma no Kuro-Usagi and Rosario to Vampire. If you're looking for a new ecchi supernatural series, this series would be perfect for you. I'd be interested in reading Asashine - a battle between assassins sounds interesting AND it's from the mangaka who wrote Hellsing and Drifters. The last series I'd want to check out is Pariya-san wa Otoshigoro since it's from the mangaka who brought us Emma and it looks like it has the characters from her latest series, Otoyome Gatari, a series I highly recommend reading.
