“Koi dano Ai dano” is on the cover of the New Year’s issue of Lala DX. The furoku is a pair of Nyanko New Year’s money envelopes. They are very nice.

Here’s a preview for the next issue of Ane Lala which releases January 5th:

Here’s what caught my eye:

• Bisco Hatori’s “Petite Peche” returns! It will be on the cover and will have color pages. Of course, I’m looking forward to the continuation of the story. In honor of “Petite Peche”, the furoku will be a cookbook!
• A new series called “Tonari wa Nani wo Kuu Hito zo” (“The Neighbor is a Person who’s Eating Something” / “The Neighbor is Eating Something”) by Yuki Fujitsu. I like her oneshots, so I’m looking forward to the first chapter. From the brief description it sounds like it’s a comedy about a female college student named Suzuna who has no homemaking skills and her male neighbor who cooks (and cleans too I assume).
• There will be a oneshot by Shikaku Machida called “Hoshi to Issho ni Aruiteru” (“Walking with the Stars”). It’s about on office lady Nanase who meets a mysterious man.
• Chapter 8 of “Kanojo ni Naru Hi”
