Misaki runs for a second term as student council president, but this time, she's facing a daunting opponent in...Kanou Soutarou, the male students' draft pick to Take. Down. The Evil Kaichou.

Bleach 37 of 48+ by Tite Kubo
The aptly-subtitled Beauty is So Solitary
Bleach 37 features narcissist Ayasegawa Yumichika on the cover to mark the return to the Las Noches action. But before Yumichika can reveal his zanpakutō's true form in combat, the 11th Division's 5th Seat must first wait for the Pendulum to swing to a stop. Means letting Aizen first admit to masterminding the Shinigami Hollow transformation that led to attrition among soul reaper ranks and—after Shinji and his troop turn into Hollows—allowing Urahara and Kidō company captain Tessai to go after Aizen. (Refers to flashback chapters -99 to -97, Turn Back The Pendulum 10,
Turn Back The Pendulum 11
and Let Stop The Pendulum.

Before I get to the newbs, have to note that Lovely Make-up - Myon & Fuku-chan's Beauty Learning wraps this m&c! release with volume 2. Actually, Myon, Fuku-chan and Tetsuya's quest to makeover girls with self-confidence issues would've led this post for sheer prettiness of cover—toggle the Lovely Make-up list link below—but. (UsuiMisa. 'Nuff sed.)
The only newbie is the Debt, Almost Certainly a Love Triangle Together in Love 1, Sakamoto Miku's ex-Bessatsu HanaYume Ai no Moto ni Tsudoe:
After her mother's passing away and her father's disappearance post amassing a huge debt, de facto orphan Iwase Yuuki finds herself the newest tenant of the “Eternal Love” boarding house and the object of attention of two bishies: her landlord Ai and her university classmate Yumeji.
Find our review of the first volume here (in Indonesian).
In addition to Together in Love, m&c! also published Sakamoto Miku-sensei's Gokuraku Smile, Nadeshiko Club and Nekomachi Shop Guide. It has yet to conclude Prisoner of the Heart (latest volume 3, if I'm not mistaken).
