While we still wait for summer to come around,
Coupe has got us covered in the meantime. Unlike the darker theme of their last story, this time they bring us something a lot more lighthearted about a teacher mesmerized by one of her students during swim class. The poor guy almost drowns while she's lost in her daydreams, but after she rescues him and he asks if they can stay after school and practice swimming, it starts to sink in that her fantasies are about to become reality.
We then visits the not so distant future with
Wakame-san, where androids have become such an integrated part of everyday life, it's not uncommon for them to serve as companions to their human masters. However, it seems like they're not all they're cracked up to be, and perhaps the AI's self-learning has gone too far when a "sexaroid" takes after her owner and sits around in a sweatsuit playing video games instead of welcoming him home at the end of the day. It's time to find out whether they need to take a trip to the scrapyard, or if this bot still has it in her to carry out her expected duties.
Finally, while some believe it was already over, the true future of France will be decided this weekend. The French people pray for a miracle as the English army besiege the city of Orléans, and their prayers are answered in the form on Jeanne D'Arc... sensei. But will she have time to bring salvation to Orléans and also meet her upcoming deadline for her monthly Kairakuten BEAST manuscript? Find out on the latest
Hitori chapter!

As it happens, all the other chapters from the
latest BEAST issue have already been released. I apologize for dropping the ball with last month's BEAST previews. To make up for it, here's the sneak peek for the new issue that's just around the corner. Since I haven't had the chance to look at these chapters myself yet, I'm simply going to let the sample images speak for themselves. You can expect the first chapter in the next a few days!
