Manga Summaries
The anime follows the manga quite closely so for manga chapters that have already been animated, see the anime summaries. The following summaries range from being fairly detailed to maybe one line depending on the availability of scanlations (by raep_time) or translations by members of the Oofuri Live Journal community. The scanlation chapters are based on the manga volumes while some of the translation chapters are based on manga chapters which are not numbered the same. The translations will be modified when the scanlations are available.
