[Honda Arima] Okasu Bekarazu!! Junketsu Tokku!
Here is a non-H tankoubon about humans who turned themselves into dogs and cats. I didn't actually translate the first chapter, only proofread it. I translated chapters 2 to 4. The commissioner is having trouble editing the remaining chapters so if you're available, please contact Grippie on the E-Hentai forums. In association with Angry Fox Scans.

The most divisive anime...
Probably Kill Me Baby.
It tried too hard to be funny. And mostly failed.
Yasuna says: "If you watch it, you'll definitely find it moving! If you don't, feel free to bury me under a tree!"
Above: Number of BDs and DVDs sold. Sad.
Note: later they also released a BD box set which actually sold pretty well (because it was cheap).
But some hardcore fans exist.

Cool (lesser known) manga alert
Sekkachi Hakushaku to Jikan Dorobou (せっかち伯爵と時間どろぼう)
New manga by Koji Kumeta (Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, Katte ni Kaizo, Joshiraku) serialized in Weekly Shonen Magazine (since 2013)!
More of the same style as Katte ni Kazo and Zetsubou Sensei, black humor and timely gags.
Raw chapters (12 onwards)
Volume 1 on Amazon
Volume 2 on Amazon
(I've ordered these 2. Amazon Japan ship books overseas.)
I saw chapters 1 and 2 (probably poorly) English translated.

AKB48 members attacked at handshaking event in Iwate
An unemployed 24 year old man brandished a blade-like item at an AKB48 handshaking event in Takizawa city, Iwate on the afternoon of May 25th, causing injury to two AKB48 members (one being Rina Kawae) and one staff member.
The AKB48 members were in line in a tent shaking hands with fans when the man suddenly took out a saw and attacked the members and staff. He was quickly captured by staff and was arrested by police.
The three were taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Moe 4-Koma Manga.
4-Koma (Yonkoma) manga is the common manga style where there are four panels (ki, sho, ten, ketsu).
A "Moe" 4-koma is the type featuring cute girls characters (moe meaning "to be attracted to"). They often don't follow the ki-sho-ten-ketsu pattern, they just have four panels. Another common feature is a serious lack of male characters. Examples include K-ON, Hidamari Sketch, Lucky Star, Nichijou, Kill Me Baby, Yuyushiki etc. many of which were made into anime.
How did these get so common?
Answer: Azumanga Daioh by Azuma Kiyohiko (1999 - 2002).
Most of the above manga are more or less copies of Azumanga Daioh - a group of schoolgirls not doing very much apart from talking with each other. In order to differentiate from Azumanga Daioh, there are small differences. K-ON gave the girls instruments, Lucky Star had an otaku girl as the main character, Hidamari Sketch had girls living in a dorm instead of their homes.
Why did Azumanga Daioh get so popular?
Because it had a group of attractive girls with wildly different personalities (a loli, a sporty one, an energetic one, a shy one, a lesbian etc. which all became manga staples) and its comedic value. Also of note is the fact that it finished cleanly after four volumes unlike K-ON or Lucky Star.
This manga seriously changed the industry in the early 2000s.
