Some time before the martial arts tournament, who should present herself before Chinmi's strongest rival Shie Fan but a girl named Fu Ren. What lessons can Shie Fan teach this disciple?

If the Chinmi Other Story: Chinmi & Shie Fan synopsis above sounds familiar, congratulate yourself on being a true blue Telor Ceplok regular. Yup, that's the summary for Shonen Magz 5 (released 4 May), in which Chinmi Other Story grabbed the spotlight.

That this third volume of the Tekken Chinmi Gaiden side story series leads means it was the Elex Most Wanted manga for the 28th (yup, releases a day early because the 29th is the Isra' Miraj public holiday). Wonder when Elex will release volumes 1 and 2 though? Well, whenever they street, you get other stories of Chinmi's childhood in this Chinmi Other Story: Chinmi & Shie Fan tankou. (I do hope you know the prequels? Kungfu Boy? New Kungfu Boy?)

Hayate The Combat Butler 25 of 28+ by Hata Kenjiro

No longer an heiress Nagi returns from Greece only to told to vacate her grandfather's posh mansion within one week. Low on funds, she doesn't have much in the way of choice. But her trusty butler Hayate promises to do all he can to find them new digs, even if it means selling his body to the highest bidder!

Aren't you glad to see Hayate The Combat Butler after more than half a year? I thought so. Indulge, indulge in chapters 262 through 272 :D

Other Elex newbies: Another Doraemon Movie manga

Aside from Chinmi Other Story: Chinmi & Shie Fan, Elex double-launches Doraemon Movie: Nobita & Pahlawan Bersayap (First and Last) by Fujiko F. Fujio, based on the 2001 movie, Doraemon: Nobita and the Winged Braves (Nobita to tsubasa no yūsha-tachi).

Nobita, desiring to fly, DIYs some kewl wings. While testing his invention, he crashes into bird man Gusuke who suddenly appears in the same sky. Giant and Suneo try to capture Gusuke and are trapped in a dimension tunnel, prompting Nobita, Doraemon and Shizuka to chase the pair all the way to the bird people's home world.

What adventures will Nobita and friends find in Birdpia?

Well, for one, they will have to locate the legendary hero Icarus to save Birdpia from General Jigrid and a Phoenician assault.

Also, look forward to the final story of Yohan, Minje and Empyo in Hwang MiRee's Want You (previewed after the release list).
