Issue #84
新連載 / Series Debuts
シャッター街のさくら姫 by 宮本 怜美 (みやもと れいみ)
Not as strong a start as I was expecting … But I feel like this one has a lot of potential.
Also, I could seriously relate to this:
読切 / Shorts
the first one, don't remember what it's called
Wow, 80 pages! My first instinct on flipping through the first couple pages was “I don’t want to read this”, so I decided to check @rodan’s review and I am SO GLAD THAT I DID. I would have been fairly sad if I’d read the first few (wordy) pages before realizing how uncomfortable the art was going to be, and extremely sad if I had pushed past it thinking “but it’s Harta, it will still be good!” before getting to the extremely weird porny parts. (I started to flip through it, until the weird porny parts made me so uncomfortable that I decide to hard-skip it.)
Thank you @rodan!
多面体の僕ら by 久方 標 (ひさかた しるべ)
It was okay. I liked the point that the mangaka was making, but I almost definitely wouldn’t have finished reading it if it had been any longer than it was.
四十九日のお終いに by 田沼 朝 (たぬま あさ)
I feel like I understood around 75 percent. It was good. Understated, quiet, interesting. I think this is the one Rodan really likes? And I think I can see why. 
I really like the art style too.
バスジャック二度としない by 西田 心 (にしだ こころ)
Cute. I’m not sure I understood what the boy said about her that was so bad though.
ショートショート
連載 / Continuing Series
涙子さまの言う通り by 山本 ルンルン
Auuugh!!! Really enjoying this one. Except that the torture and implied murder of animals caught me off guard and was very horrible. It definitely upset me way more than that girl getting murdered at the beginning. 
But other than that haha. I like our main detective a lot. I feel like he would also be more horrified by Namidako murdering animals than by her murdering humans.
生き残った６人によると by 山本和音 （やまもとかずね）
This mangaka is really good at fun action sequences. I’m less clear on what’s going on with the story. I mean, I’m following it fine, it’s just not clear to me what kind of story they are trying to write. It seems a bit … unfocused, I guess. Still fun though.
クプルムの花嫁 by namo
Easier chapter than the last one. (Seems like the tourist infotainment-y ones are the hardest.) Also, super cute.
ふくふく万福帳 by 伊藤 有生 (いと ゆせい)
Cute. Love the reversal here … since he’s earned a reward, his reward is to not be unlucky for once so that he can achieve his goal.
先生、今日どうですか by 高江洲 弥 (たかえすやや)
meh. It’s a little sad, if the main character was just a little bit older, like say she was a 20-year-old managing the property for her parents, I feel like I could be so into this one.
夜の名前を呼んで by 三星たま (みつぼしたま)
(I love all the little details, like this door.)
Having fever dreams when you’re a sorcerer is dangerous!
最終回 / Last Chapters!
ガラスの瞳で覗かせて by 井上 きぬ (いのうえ きぬ)
Cute! I started out completely weirded out, but now find the doll/human relationships totally cute.
At the end they said if you want to see it continue then send a letter. Maybe someday I’ll be reading in real time and can actually send a letter if I want to see a particular story continue!
Looks like 井上 きぬ has a two-volume manga series out, but I think it was published in Harta before issue 75, not after.
ききみみ図鑑 by 宮田 紘次 (みやた こうじ)
Definitely my least favorite of the three. Not that it was bad, it just wasn’t my favorite.
Wait, there’s more!
Aaaah—almost missed the contest winners!
They add up to another 140 pages of yomikiri. It does feel slightly overwhelming to think I’m ready to move on to the next issue only to discover I have another 6 yomikiri to go. And they look good too, I don’t want to skip them! This makes me look forward to the time when I have to wait between issues and have at least a month to read every little thing before the next issue. Right now I’m reading in a very goal-oriented way, which keeps me moving forward and is great for studying, improving, and catching up, but I’m looking forward to the more leisurely just-for-fun approach which I know is in my future. 
Okay, so, read about the contest/contest winners. Seems like in a way they’re getting us ready for the change of format that’s about to happen in the next issue. It also seems like there will be seven new series starting (contest winners). (“Contest” makes it sound like the entries are from a bunch of amateurs, but I don’t think that’s the case. Not sure what else to call it though.)
So, 13 contest winners total, 6 are yomikiri printed in this issue, 7 are new series starting next issue.
傘に関する考察 by 古田 青葉
Super cute.
あいつの螺子はゆるんでいる by 寿薙 ひさなぎ えりき
Ultra cute. Loved it.
こちら、エスタブリカ市役所です。
I loved this one! I hope we see this mangaka again!
