Girl Meets Boy (I and II),
Beautiful Girl's Confusion
, Magatsuhi
and Aki vs Mahiru, and Then...
and the Dalam Keputusasaan: Kisah di Balik Layar
extra. (Yes, these ARE Level's titles.)
Sowwy, Mamoru-sama, for not leading with you and your *cough*bride*cough*. I just had to play wif Aki (and Kyohei) first :D Imma preview Until Death Do Us Part 9 (top DO WANT! this sked) nau~
Until Death Do Us Part vol 9 of 15+
By Takashige Hiroshi & DOUBLE-S
Wiseman's tactics succeed where others failed. Defeat, guilt and self-directed anger drive Mamoru to distance himself from the Element Network. Precog Loli Haruka, however, is not about to let Mamoru go. What fate awaits our Till Death Do Us Parters after they exit Network?
Until Death Do Us Part 9: Shadow
collects Parts 66–74. There's the usual full-color inserts, the first featuring Haruka begging Mamoru to kill her. (Oops, did I say that out loud? :P)
Moar previews—with or without SPOIL—after the release list.
New Level titles [Just added]
Tibet & A.P. Duchateau's Ric Hochet BD (ROMIC) series double-launches with Attila's Triangle (Ric Hochet, Tome 45: Le Triangle Attila) and Teror Topeng Kematian (Ric Hochet, Tome 54: Le masque de la terreur). And who is Ric Hochet? He's a reporter for the newspaper La Rafale in Paris
and depending on where his comic is published, also goes by the names Rick Master (Germany), Rik Ringers (The Netherlands and Flanders), Rick Hart (Scandinavia) and Reporter Johnny (South India). (Thanks, Wiki.)
I forgot the NikBabble™ the first, rather, the second, time around :P
