Inari, KonKon, Koi Iroha (Manga)
Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha [ いなり、こんこん、恋いろは ] is authored by Yoshida Morohe [ 吉田もろへ ], this is a romantic comedy series that runs monthly in young ace, right now it has 3 volumes.
In case you need it, the chinese name for this is 稻荷恋之歌 The story is pretty fun and the way things are handled is interesting, this is like, the only non light novel romcom that I'm following. Yoshida Morohe has only worked on shoujo before this, and that kinda shows in the writing, but don't let that turn you away from the story. Serialization started in 2010 and the series is still on going, the scanlation has been handled by Sense-scans and Shoujo Crusade (it's a joint release), right now there is 12 chapter scanlated in english and 20 in chinese (the latest magazine chapter). Volume 3 raws are recent, thus we are going to have to wait a while for volume 4. There is a jwiki page and a chinese wiki page but no eng wiki. Summary Quote:

Characters Spoiler for Spoiler due to large size:
Thoughts? Well, as I said before, I really like the series, when I started it and read the first 3 chapters I thought that it was ok, but that it wasn't going to get much better; but the series actually totally caught me by surprise and got a lot better. The architecture of the events is pretty nice and things are usually surprising in a good sense, plus the characters do have weight and thus feel meaningful, even the joke characters have things to add to the story. Whenever I'm read this, I'm usually reminded of Lare, in other words most of his critics on romcoms actually end up nicely when interpolated with this story, this is a romance which has good & clear writing, plus you can feel that the author has a plan with the story and is sticking to it. Furthermore there it aren't "cheap harems" or "cheap love triangle" elements, this one is good & interesting without falling into cheezy overdone developments that you saw coming from miles away.

There's about 13 chapters translated and I'm really liking this manga. There's a strong sort of focus on friendship (between friends and between god and human) and it has a lot of quirks that I really appreciate. It also doesn't hurt that it has pretty amazing artwork, especially with the backgrounds.

Somehow my reason for reading this has been pretty much simplified to seeing Uka's and Touka's interactions between each other.
I wonder if that's... not a good thing? But meh, I really like it when the two interact.

edit : The cover for volume 4 is amazing Spoiler:
Checking the raws, the upcoming chapters are going to be super awesome, but the cliffhanger in chapter 24 is insane, and there is no new chapter till October.

That's what I meant by "everyone's favorite couple". They have been progressing at a slower pace than Inari & Tanbabashi, though the omai is obviously going to spice things up. BTW, Inari actually has been kinda smooth on winning Tanbabashi's affections

I've been reading the manga on a another site and a lot of comments that were posted there seemed to favor Touka x Uka as well. Touka & Uka's interactions are pretty fun to watch though. I noticed the manga would occasionally jump to a scene between them briefly and then go back to focus on Inari...the same pattern often repeats. It would definitely be cool if more of the chapter was devoted to Touka & Uka once in a while.
There are 23 chapters scanlated & out in english from Shoujo-Sense scans right now. This here's my favorite scene so far : Spoiler for Touka & Uka moment - Chapter 20:
And there is one other scene in a earlier chapter where Touka tries to grope Uka while she's asleep. Freaking hilarious...XD That is my second fav. one haha! Touka = Chunnibyou Tsundere? lol. |
