Manga/Graphic Novels Starting With 'L'

Ayumu is faced with more than school woes. As she solemnly floats through her school days, she deals with Manami's suicide attempt! Ayumu befriends a classmates in a very seedy restaurant. Will this classmate take Ayumu down the path of a destructive life. Ayumu reveals Katsumi's dirty little secret, but becomes his new victim in his web of deceit.

Ayumu's life continues in its downward spiral as she continues to think about the horrible things Katsumi did to her. The only thing that helps to block out the negative images is watching Miki constantly be bullied by their classmates. Meanwhile, Manami becomes curious and investigates Miki's sudden interest in Katsumi. Will Manami be outraged by what she finds out?

Katsumi has gotten into Ayumu's school life, he's gotten into her private life, and he's even gotten into her head. Now he's gotten into her room and only a miracle can save her now. And as if being pursued by a sexual predator wasn't enough, Manami's campaign against Hatori will seem light compared to the horror she's about to unleash on Ayumu.

Gazing directly into the eyes of death, Ayumu has a million decisions to make within the blink of an eye. Will she stand tall? Will she abandon her fears? Will she collapse under the weight of what is now a full-scale assault on her by the entire school? Or will she transcend it all entirely and embrace with open arms the one and only way out of the misery that has befallen her?

Manami keeps pulling pranks, but Ayumu is quickly learning to fight back. The homeroom teacher begins to notice Ayumu's distraught behavior, but the teacher refuses to believe that bullying is in her classroom. Despite being bullied, Ayumu remains strong and receives support from Miki and her classmates. Manami seems to have a few evil tricks left... Can Ayumu withstand the onslaught of bullying?

Manami's plan to gain more attention has started! First, Katsumi is attacked by some unknown gang members (who are actually friends of Manami's). Then Ayumu - and later Miki - is abducted by some guys and tied up in an abandoned warehouse. What will happen to them?

Ayumu and Miki get Ayumu's phone to work and a call gets through to Sonoda! But Akira's goons soon discover the phone and drag off a drugged Miki while Akira instructs them to start raping Ayumu. Will Sonoda be able to save them in time?

After the hospital incident, Ayumu gains sympathy at school, which makes things a lot more difficult for Manami to win everybody to her side. So Manami devises a scheme to cast herself once again as the victim... and she'll take down more than Ayumu with her!

At long last, the Final Selection has arrived! Kahoko and her fellow contestants take the stage, knowing that only one of them can win. For Kahoko, there's even more pressure: this is the first time she'll perform without magical assistance. But after the competition, an even greater challenge lies ahead: deciding what to do next. Is music - and love - in the future for Kahoko and her friends?

With the Final Selection over and the magic violin gone forever, Kahoko faces a new challenge: learning to play for real! With Shinobu, a gifted Seisou Academy alumnus, as her private instructor, she begins to master the violin. But as Kahoko's friendships with the guys from the music competition deepen, she finds it harder to give her heart to music alone. And the arrival of a talented - and handsome - new student doesn't make things any easier!

When Seisou Academy chose two students to attend an all-star music camp, Kahoko wasn't one of the lucky ones - but that didn't stop her! Working as a janitor on the camp grounds isn't exactly glamorous, but it's the only way to pursue her dream of mastering the violin. But can she really measure up to the ultra-elite musicians at the camp? And what's the story behind Aoi, the weird (but handsome) new guy who seems to know everything about her?

Kahoko will do anything to study under Mr. Saotome, a stern instructor who's taught generations of top performers - including Len, the musician Kahoko admires most. But to get into his class, she'll have to ace a grueling music competition. Can Kahoko play without the help of magic? And can she keep her mind on music when she learns that Len is leaving Japan?
