Gunslinger Girl starts again this month, but I have to wait until volume 4 of the tank to start following it in the monthly. I'll also be starting Hoi Hoi-san once the first volume arrives tomorrow (with bonus DVD).

This month's bonus comes with an inflatable ball (that yellow character on the front cover) as well as a pull out illustration and some card.

Uta-Kata: 1: It's right before summer vacation and 橘一夏 (Ichika Tachibana), 14 and second year middle school student is on her way to school. Her dad is 理人 (Masahito), mom is 泉水 (Izumi), and she also has twins for tutors, Sei and Kai. Before class, she cleans the hallways of her school with her friends 皐月 (Satsuki) and 蛍子 (Keiko). She has a third friend, 未知留 (Michiru), the occult-like girl, who tells them that the last place they have left to clean is the room with the scary big mirror. As Ichika's cleaning it, her reflection winks at her and startles her. She has to go back to that room after class as she dropped her cell phone there earlier in the morning and meets a strange girl in front of the mirror. The girl uses some magical stones which allows Ichika to float above buildings and gaze at the world below. Afterwards, the mirror girl, 舞夏 (Manatsu), asks Ichika to write up her experiences as it's Manatsu's homework. Outside, there's another girl, 沙耶 (Saya), on top of a tower making an ominous warning.

Yotsuba to: ２０よつばと花火大会？ (Yotsuba and the Fireworks Show?): Jumbo tells Yotsuba about the fireworks show tomorrow and has her go to the neighbor's house to also invite the girls. He hopes that Yotsuba will get Asagi to come and she does.

Ichigo Marshmallow: ??: It's a hot day and so on the way to school, the girls play rock-paper-scissors to see who carries the bags and Matsuri gets the privilege to carry all of them. At school, all the girls except Matsuri are out of it, either sleeping in class, not paying attention, or just coming up with random things as responses to their teacher's questions.

Muv-Luv: 2: Yuuko explains the history of her parallel universe to Takeru. Takeru, under the watchful eye of Sakaki, practices rifle assembly, but always finishes too late. As they break, Takeru sees another person that he recognizes from his previous world, 尊人 (Mikoto). This gets him reminiscing about where he came from. That night, he practices rifle assembly some more and seems to be able to do it in time. He slows comes to realize that this is the current world that he's has to live in.

Kashimashi: ??: Hazumu's childhood friend, Tomari, has always been the person protecting him, despite being a girl. Now that Hazumu's gender has changed, she's a little confused about her feelings towards him. She gets annoyed when Hazumu's with other girls, but when the media comes looking for Hazumu, Tomari still protects him/her just the same.

KuraKURA: 2: Runa still bummed about her botched confession from last time. However, as co-class leader, they still have to prepare for the cultural festival this weekend. Another monster appears requiring Runa to transform again, but this time, Hayakawa sees the monster too and after Runa comes back, Hayakawa presses her into talking about what she just saw and wonders if Runa has been hiding things from her.

Siren: 3: Meruna is stuck under the rubbles and Dr. Soichiro has already dismissed her. Meanwhile, Hokuto (I think) is fighting against a tiger-like cyborg and gets herself into some trouble. Meruna manages to transform and help defeat the machine, but then goes looking again for Soichiro. Having transformed back into her plain clothes, she finds Soichiro walking around and is grateful that he's still alive.
