Peps' Reading List: Weekly Manga Update

Here's this week's manga update from my reading list.  Fairy Tail and Air Gear make their first appearance, but, unfortunately, there will be no One Piece update since Echiro Oda was sick.  No Sekirei as well, since Young Gangan is released biweekly.

Spoilers ahead!  So if you would prefer to read it yourself, please visit your favorite scanlation sites.
