Also, excited to read Kakukaku Shikajika.
Kikai Jikake no Ai seems very interesting based on synopsis alone. Feels like it'll be hard to scanlate, but maybe.
Machida-kun no Sekai looks very cute.
edit- YOOOO Otouto no Otto's on this? Just noticed. Need to read that soon but I'm scared the scanlators will be slow.
