Team Medical Dragon (Iryuu) by Nagai Akira and Nogizaka Tarou

Team Medical Dragon (Iryuu) by Nagai Akira (Story) and Nogizaka Tarou (Art) (2002-2011)

My category: Political Medical Drama


Completed: 25 volumes, 210 chapters. Currently 149 chapters scanlated by Outerworld Scans. Lots of scanalators have worked on this series, but Outerworld Scans is doing them currently. See the other previous scanalators on Baka Updates.

Synopsis: Asada Ryuutarou is an extremely skilled surgeon who has been missing the past few years. Katou Akira tracks the elusive man down and manages to convince him to help her on her Batista ( in lay man terms, a difficult heart surgery) thesis. This is Katou's first step to gain professorship at the prestigious Meishin University Medical Centre, and eventually pave the way for Katou to rise high enough to bring about a revolution that will change Japan's twisted and corrupt medical practices. But first things first, can Asada and Katou pull together a Batista Team that can rise above all others?

Overall, 6.5/10.

Sekine-kun no Koi (Sekine's Love) by Kawachi Haruka

Sekine-kun no Koi by Kawachi Haruka (2009-2014)

My Category: Male-lead Josei


Completed: 5 volumes. Currently 21 chapters scanlated by Stiletto Heels Scans.

Synopsis: Sekine Keiichiro seems flawless at a glance. He's intelligent and handsome; an upright salary man that is admired by all. But in truth he is a lonely, miserable man who has no purpose and direction, nor even any hobbies. Sekine joins a craft class to try and find something to be passionate about, but little does he know he will get tangled in one of the few things he does not excel in- love!

Warning: It does depict some sexual scenes (they aren't steamy and not really consensual), and I would not recommend this to young readers.

Overall, 7.5/10.

Reimei no Arcana by Touma Rei (2009-2013)

My category: Dramatic Fantasy Romance


Completed: 13 volumes, 65 chapters (including extras), also has a novel. Scanalated by Evil Flowers. Licensed in English.

Synopsis (MU): "On that day, I became the enemy's possession," Nakaba thought as she stood there, knowing her destiny was to be married for convenience to keep the peace between her country Senan and Prince Caesar's country, Belquat; two neighbor countries on an island.
Between the two countries there has been a constant war for 200 years and Nakaba has become a sacrificial lamb for her country despite the discrimination against her red hair and the sub-person (half-human, half-animal) Loki, who is her only friend and attendant at Caesar's estranged palace.

But what will Nakaba do when she foresees an event pertaining to Prince Caesar's demise? Will she save him, or let him die in return to all the hate directed towards her by the people of Belquat?

Overall, 8.5/10.
