*NO* Gate7 #1 on the simplified Chinese side, FY Genbu Kaiden 10 (still) on teh English (Chuang Yi 8 November 2011 manga) [UPDATED]

Update: Chuang Yi DID change its mind, or rather its release schedule [my screen cap version]. Both the simplified Chinese Gate7 and the Kekkaishi finale have been postponed. Completing the round-up: the English Otomen vol 12, RINNE volume 6 and the reskedded for the fourth time Metal Fight Beyblade vol 5.

Unless Chuang Yi changes its mind, we can still look forward to Alice in tears, Takiko as near to, Asuka's cake and Rinne—Rinne's father, actually—owing money. (Previews below the release list.)

Are You Alice? 1 and 2 double launch, La Corda d'Oro 14, Vagabond 24 (Chuang Yi 3 May 2011 English manga) [UPDATED]

Hoping none of these manga decide to resked between this post's Sunday publication and Chuang Yi's on the date confirm. Although I doubt Are You Alice? will budge from 3 May, otherwise we're really heading into curiouser and curiouser territory. »Edit They did budge, but only by one day (streeted 4 May).

Also, VAGABOND 24 and the simplified Chinese Kaichou wa Maid-sama! #12 and The Ravages of Time #41.

It's not the Alice in Wonderland bloodbath that Alice in the Country of Hearts is, but I still welcome Are You Alice?, starring a bishounen ‘Alice’ who must off the White Rabbit or it's off with his head!, as Chuang Yi gleefully points out. Sounds plenty bloody enuf to me ^^

The josei Zero-Sum series adapts the Are You Alice? drama CDs (thanks for the list, Minty Utopians). Alice?'s CV is Sakupyon (Sakurai Takahiro).

In other 2D bishies, Tsukimori Can't. Spit. Something. Out in La Corda d'Oro 14, news that stands to shock Kaho-chan (and gladden the hearts of Tsukimori's rivals).
