Superpowers are now common among the world's population. The manifestation of powers is known as Girls' Witch Syndrome, and the origin of the sudden large scale bestowal of extraordinary abilities to children is an entity named the Mother Witch. Ayumu Takenami carries the title of Brave Star as the top ranking CARD member.

CARD is an organisation formed from the children and girls that have superpowers. After he dispatches armed kidnappers with his bare fists somewhere in the Middle East, Ayumu drops everything to go see his crush in Japan. Yuki Saimiya is an average 17 year-old high school girl with insignificant powers but wishes she could be more like the rumoured Brave Star.

In this manga, Kazama Ayami talks about the ups, downs, and funny stories of her recent marriage to mangaka Konno Azure. Kazama mostly draws innocent romances, while her husband draws more erotic work, but both of them have a lot in common as otaku with little experience in 3D romance!

This is what tethysdust said this week:
Yomei Demo Otaku Desu appears to be an autobiographical comedy about the author's marriage. It was funny, and complete at 10 chapters. Shounen Princess combines gender-bender romance with action. Princess Biyori was pretty cute and innocent, as far I as read.
Here's what Kamas had to say:
For Brave Star Romantics: Modern day superheroes are not a new concept, but I like the mystery that surrounds the origin story behind the superpowers and the idea behind it. It has a lot of potential to make for an interesting story.
Now for Niffer's take on her manga:
Youkai Hyakki-tan! is a fun manga with lots of short stories based on the mobile game Youkai Hyakki-tan!
My opinion:
Brave Star Romantics - This comes from the mangaka who made Sekirei, so if you like more action/ecchi series, then this would be right up your alley.
Shounen Princess - An interesting idea of having a trap and a reverse trap in the story, so if you like gender benders, then this manga is for you...
Princess Biyori - If you're in the mood for fantasy and magic, then you should check this manga out.
Yomei Demo Otaku Desu. - If you want to know what it's like to be a mangaka and be married to another mangaka, with little romantic experience, then this short one volume manga may pique your interest.
Youkai Hyakki-tan! - If you like ecchi situations with supernatural elements, then you should take a look at this manga.
