I bought quite a few volumes when I was last in HK, but never got around to reading them! Started Grand Guignol Orchestra (Guignol Kyuutei Gakudan/人形宮廷楽団) by Yuki Kaori but I only have the first two volumes. ;; So far though, compared with Fairy Cube, I'm finding this far more enjoyable. Fairy Cube was destined to be a short series, which was fine, but it was so rushed. After the first two volumes I wasn't even motivated to look for the third (final) one. Maybe I'll look for scans instead.

Guignol Orchestra has its faults... sometimes the character's faces and the camera angles make me think I'm reading Angel Sanctuary. The body language of the characters feels a bit similar, too - Lucille is totally Setsuna+Alexial sometimes! And Too Many Servant-Type Girls already, dammit. (It's Yuki's personal fetish, I am aware. But.) Still, the story is interesting and the pacing is much much better. Also! Gwindel has a fierce love for hedgehogs. This can only mean very good things. :D

After this I'm going to read Ludwig Revolution, which I have all four volumes of. I have high hopes for this one.

Also caught up with Kuroshitsuji up to the end of vol.8. Events are getting darker and darker. I do like this manga very much.
