Ha. "Ten Count" by Takarai Rihito

Oops. Um. Well, it's Hump-day once again. Luckily, this year so far is not as bad as I thought it was to be as September is coming to a close soon. So enjoy the great outdoors while it lasts, because the change of seasons is starting to in the air.
I'm starting to feel sad, because it's the change of seasons though, 'cause that means that the anime season is changing up. And that means "Free! Iwatobi Swim Club" is over today. *feels* But then there's big brother "Meganebu!" coming into the anime picture frame, and I'm thinking of having slightly high expectations for it.
But this is a manga reviewing site, so try to look somewhere else for that stuff. Or tumblr works as well.

Though it's not a completed manga yet, only updated chapter 2 recently, I was interested in looking into "Ten Count" by Rihito-sensei. It intrigued me whenever a manga involves some sort of condition or special thing about the main character, 'cause, well, it makes them special.

So there's this guy, who for some unknown reasons has mysophobia, which is a fear of getting dirty or germs and stuff. And so he works for this normal company as a secretary for his boss, and one day, his boss is about to be run over by a passing truck when this ridiculously (in my opinion) handsome man jumps to the rescue, leaving the mysophobic's boss with only a fractured knee. Mr. Handsome is leaving the hospital, and Mr. Mysophobic runs after as request of the boss to give him his business card and a repayment. However, Mr. Handsome states all of a sudden that Mr. Mysophobic is mysophobic, and suggests seeing a psychiatrist. They magically meet each other again by fate later, and it turns out that Mr.Handsome is also a Mr. Psychiatrist at a local clinic. They talk, and after making a "I Should Accomplish These 10 Things" kind of list, the manga ends there, since, again, the translation is not done.

I love Rihito-sensei's work, and the drawing style is so clean. Though the stories itself have a little bit of angst in them, or drama I suppose. But I totally recommend her work to you all, it's worth a read, not matter how much time you can spare. Seriously, just take even a peek is worth it. Why? You'll get hooked. She doesn't really do sex stuff though, so don't look for it.
