Series finales

Two shoujo series finish — Arai Kiyoko's Beauty Pop (volume 10) and Oobayashi Miyuki's Jun★Ai Sensation (volume 5).

In the final Beauty Pop, can SP win the All Japan Beauty Contest when Narumi and Ochiai are feuding?

Meanwhile, as Jun★Ai Sensation counts down to wrap... Die, Fukunaga Ai! Whoops. Someone has it in for Ai who stars in a drama and inadvertently becomes famous. Someone who gives Ai's kissing scene two thumbs down.

New m&c! titles

One of these things is not like the others~♪, or so goes the Sesame Street song. First, m&c! lines up six omnibuses: Catwalk Romance by Shiraishi Yuki and To Love a Cool Boy by Sugishippo (both ex-Sho-Comi); Himegirl Attack by Wao Akira, Love Tricks by Ibuki Kaede × CHOCHO and Moriko in The Wonder Forest by Notoyama Keiko (from Ciao); and My Boyfriend in 16 by Yoshinaga Yuu (Betsucomi). And then it drags in Pedang Maha Dewa - Future 1 by Tony Wong. Can you spot the odd one out?

What else but the one that's not a manga and not a standalone.

According to m&c!, the Pedang Maha Dewa F manhua represents the final appearance of Weapons of the Gods characters Wen Tian and Tay Ping. The setting moves to the modern era, specifically, the WWI time window when foreign powers held Hong Kong as a concession territory. The story's main antagonists are the Demon forces, smaller in stature than the Sky Demons (the enemy in Pedang Maha Dewa 3 and 3.5), but more numerous and capable of transforming into humans. In Tony Wong's alternate history, they triggered the Great War and it is now up to Wen Tian and Tay Ping to rid the planet of these critters.
