.hack/G.U.+ 5 of 5, The Ghost Conqueror 5 and Love is Everywhere manga, Part III (m&c! 2 February 2011 manga)

.hack/G.U.+ 5 (m&c!)

.hack//G.U.+ © Morita Yuzuka, Hamazaki Tatsuya
Kadokawa Shoten [First serialized in .hack//The World]
Published in Indonesia by Gramedia/m&c!

Once more Cubia wreaks havoc and Epitaph Users prove powerless, placing The World at the the brink of destruction and reprising the nightmare that was Network Crisis.

In the rubble of destruction, will Aura reappear? What destiny awaits because of Rebirth's failure to destroy AIDA? Find out the answers in the last volume of Haseo's adventures—.hack//G.U.+ 5 of 5—out now.

The Ghost Conqueror 5 of 9+ by Sakondou Eri

Fighting in Mammoth reaches fever pitch as Momotarou and friends battle the fourth monster, the purple demon who is actually the powerful and evil Grandpa Kobutori.

New m&c! titles and Love is Everywhere manga, Part III

Before I get to the next batch of Love is Everywhere Valentine manga (Love in the Sky IS Sora Log!!), lemme just note that m&c! slips Saint Beast into this schedule and goes on about the four youths tasked to rid the world of evil and save the humans, yada yada yada... Telling you now DO NOT GET! THIS unless all you want from your manga read are purty bishounen to slash. Yup, this is BL. Rent, if you must. (Thanks, Raven-san, for down and dirty on this standalone.)

Love in the Sky 1 (m&c!)

Sora Log © Mitsuki Kaco
Shogakukan [Betsucomi]
Published in Indonesia as
Love in the Sky
by Gramedia/m&c!

So I already gave away that the debuting Love in the Sky by Mitsuki Kaco is fan favorite Sora Log. In case you're not familiar with this Betsucomi title, it's the love story of astronomy club member Hikaru and Asou, the Bad Boy she met one starry night.

You prolly already know Mitsuki Kaco-sensei from The First One, Moon Light Dream, September Storm and Yearning Moon. Now all m&c! has to license are Kiss/Hug and Ai Hime ~ Ai to Himegoto to watch the number of happy campers spike.

Other premiering series include the Crossdressing, Idol, Revenge Prince x Princess by Kiritani Miki (volume 1 of 2), the Childhood Friends love triangle Rival Next Door by Shiraishi Yuki (volume 1 of 2) and the love letter-troped Smile, Himiko! by Nakajima Yuka on a three tankou launch.

Bleach 34, Love So Life 1, Oresama Teacher 2 (m&c! 22 September 2010 manga) [UPDATED]

Added m&c!'s summaries and covers per promise. And yup, wild card Graffiti of Love IS Rakugaki no Shita.

Love So Life 1 (m&c!)

Love So Life © Kouchi Kaede/Hakusensha [Serialized in Hana to Yume]
Published in Indonesia by PT Gramedia/m&c!

But before the series premieres, Ichigo—rather, Nel—first:

Ex-Tres Espada Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck gives Rangiku stiff competition in Rubenesque models AND nearly wipes the floor with fifth-ranked Espada Nnoitra Jiruga. Nearly as she reverts to her kiddy form at the last second.

Nnoitra, merciless on any given day, retaliates, grinding Nel's li'l head under his Call the Fashion Police! boots before kicking her as far as the Arrancar home team's goal. Despite his wounds, Ichigo tries to protect Nel, an attempt doomed to #Fail as Nnoitra's Fraccion Tesla is waiting to finish him off. Read moar in Bleach 34: The King of The Kill. [Irreverent blurb adapted from Wiki- and Bleach Wiki's synops]

NEW M&C! TITLES: Shoujo ♡ asplosion!

Almost half of m&c!'s 22 September list was blueprinted to lure shoujo/soonjung fangirls (and boys) into parting with money “saved” from the recent 2 × no manga deliveries. Four new manga and manhwa series (the latter priced at IDR 18,500 each) launch next Wednesday: Love So Life 1 by Kouchi Kaede, Kimi ga Suki ~ I Love You ~ 1 of 3 by Watanabe Ayu, Secret 1 by Han YuRang and Memory Eater 1 of 2 by Kang KyungNam. A quartet of standalones also accompanies: the intriguingly-titled My Dinosaur Dentist by Morio Masami, Salon For a Broken Heart by Ayumi Rin, Graffiti of Love by Sugata Uri and Sparkling Charm by Nakajima Yuka.

Reserving this Above The Fake Cut space for Love So Life that, along with Oresama Teacher 2, nearly dethroned Bleach as top DO WANT! But I also list the tags (thanks Baka-Updates Manga) associated with the new titles for Impatient Ones who want the deets NOW (refer to right sidebar).

Graffiti of Love (Shy girl, Transformation, Music, Band)
Kimi ga Suki ~ I Love You ~ (Love Triangle, Childhood Friends)
Memory Eaters (Shinigami, Bishounen)
My Dinosaur Dentist (Scary Dentist)
Salon For a Broken Heart (Red Thread of Fate, Twins, Red Hair, Variations on a Theme)
Secret (Orphans, Rich Family, Death)
Sparkling Charm (Popular Boy, Otaku)

Love So Life 1 of 5+ by Kouchi Kaede

Orphan Nakamura Shiharu, who dreams of one day running her own daycare, trades a part-time job at a preschool for a stint babysitting twin toddlers Akane-chan and Aoi-kun — after their bishie TV personality uncle Matsunaga Seiji offers double her current pay to take care of the little monsters angels. Shiharu rises to the challenge, drawing on lessons “learned” from mom to fill in the parenting blanks. Predictably, it's not long before Shiharu grows to love her faux family — up to and including...

So, Age Gap, Childcare, Family, Orphan, Twins, Babysitter. My own “warning”: Sugar Shock and Terminal Keeyootness (not just the Seiji kind).

If you're so inclined to track it down, a Love So Life drama CD released commercially last March. Seiyuu Noto Mamiko (Sawako, Kimi ni Todoke anime) and Ono Daisuke (Sebastian Michaelis, Kuroshitsuji II) voiced Shiharu and Seiji.

Graffiti of Love by Sugata Uri

Okabe provides the one light in model student Machiko's marginalized middle school life; his niceness makes the bullied geek fall hard for him. But painful shyness prevents Machiko from telling Okabe that she likes him.

Upon entering senior high, however, Machiko effects a personality makeover; now a vocalist for a band, she vows to grab friendship, music fame and most of all — love!

Sugata Uri-sensei also created Apricot Sour Choudai (the other Graffiti of Love candidate before m&c!'s Rakugaki no Shita confirmation) and Aijou Countdown, currently serialized in Dessert.

Kimi ga Suki ~ I Love You ~ 1 of 3 by Watanabe Ayu

Murakami Aki finally summons enough courage to confess to Mase, her basketball club-mate, only to be “blocked” by Koichi, a basketball cager from another school who declares his feelings for her. Staying faithful to her first love should've presented no problems, except circumstances alters cases, leaving Aki torn between Mase and Koichi, whose future now looks bleak, thanks to Aki.

I thinks I need to raise the Kleenex alert here...

Watanabe Ayu-sensei also created the L-DK school life romance comedy and the Otomegokoro drama, Betsufure serials like Kimi ga Suki.

Memory Eater 1 of 2 by Kang KyungNam

Memory eaters prey on human memories. Captivated by mortal reminiscences, these former death emissaries sent to extract memory from human souls now mine the commodity for themselves, earning banishment and a new name: Exile. One such Exile is Dio, but unlike other outcasts, he resorts not to memory theft.

Ha Enwoo has always had problems remembering things; lately, it has become so severe, she even forgets how to get to school. But is she merely forgetful, or are her memories being siphoned off by memory eaters? Were that the case, which of the two bishounen hanging around her is responsible?

My Dinosaur Dentist by Morio Masami

My Dinosaur Dentist (m&c!)

Kyouryuu no Haisha-san
© Morio Masami/Hakusensha
Published by m&c! as
My Dinosaur Dentist

Originally the LaLa DX serial Kyouryuu no Haisha-san, My Dinosaur Dentist is a 99.99% GET!, based simply on the Morio Masami brand (The Extra Kobayashi, Caramel Boy and Sweet Sweet Darling manga-ka). Still, if you want a preview —

Hideko's cavity blues send her... dragging her feet to the dental clinic. Her reluctance springs from Kai—the dentist she believes belongs in the same family tree as carnivorous dinosaurs—treating her toothache. (The “S” cover on the left hints she may be on to something T. Rex-ish there.) Around wielding a shrill drill and reinventing dental trauma, Kai “promotes” Hideko to membership in the Dinosauria superorder, nicknaming her “Forgetasaurus.”

If Kai is such a bleeping *bleep*, how come when Hideko sees him getting close to his assistant, her H. sapiens heart blares out alarms? Has she (horrors!) actually fallen for Dr. Kai?

Salon For a Broken Heart by Ayumi Rin

Salon For a Broken Heart equals Shitsuren Biyoushitsu, the Unrequited Love Beauty Parlor. The Sho-Comi omnibus compiles Ayumi Rin's variations on a theme shorts Salon For a Broken Heart, Until You Say You Love Me, Just a Little More Love, The Color of Your Destiny and Mobius Heartbreak.

My preliminary reaction: Forget the title story—about a girl who violates her school's hair code to attract her teacher's attention, only to find out that sed Sensei is transferring out—the fifth one-shot, Mobius Heartbreak, about a girl (Kirie), who makes an appointment at the Salon for the Heartbroken because of her ill-starred love for her sib, promises a more rewarding read.

Ayumi Rin-sensei's other works include Renai Kyoushuujo; Hoshii no wa, Anata Dake; and Kiss Yori mo Ijiwaru, also one-volume shoujo anthologies.

Secret 1 of 10 by Han YuRang

Gwak Bo Eun's dad gives her a grisly present on her 16th birthday: his suicide. His last wish sends Bo Eun to living in the palatial home of twins Na Hae Ri and Na Hae Rang after he passes away.

The still mourning Bo Eun attempts stoicism to hold back her tears, but they splash down anyway, especially after she meets Choi Mu Hyul. The pretty boy promises to do everything in his power to make Bo Eun smile again, and help her discover why her dad took his own life in the first place.

Of course you already know that Han YuRang is also the manhwa-ga of Female Wolf's Boy (volume 5 scheduled for a 29 September release) and Sandwich Girl.

Sparkling Charm by Nakajima Yuka

A former Cherry serial, Sparkling Charm or Kirakira Hikare has heroine Mizuno Iruka getting the shock of her life when crush Moriyama-kun—whom she has never spoken to—confesses his love for her! But it appears that Moriyama-kun is hiding a secret...

Nakajima Yuka-sensei also created the love letter-troped Waratte Himiko-san.

Continuing series volume previews

Beyond the Beyond 5 of 6 by Watanabe Yoshitomo

Foreordained 13 years ago...
Today, “Virid” becomes one...

If you find m&c!'s blurb a bit too minimal (original here)—considering this is the penultimate (that took almost a year to reach)—I'm borrowing a bit of Chuang Yi's There, Beyond The Beyond 5 synopsis to help refresh your memory:

Virid returns to his country to resolve a long standing issue with his elder brother. Pushed to their limits by forces beyond their control, the twin crown princes find surprising help from where they least expect....

Dawn Aria 5 of 10+ by Akaishi Michiyo

A recent Tokyo earthquake leaves Aria no choice but to seek refuge in the Nishimikado family home, and Natsuo no respite from his turbulent feelings for Aria.

The Ghost Conqueror 4 of 8+ by Sakondou Eri

After the “grueling” final exams for the reincarnated — summer vacation! Yuuki, the reincarnation of Peach Boy Momotaro, is invited by Sawa's parents to spend the holidays with them. On this, his first real vacation, Yuuki learns...

Go! Hiromi Go! 3 of 8 by Asou Mikoto

Poor Hideki! A fun skiing vacation becomes a distant dream when Hiromi suddenly disappears!

Hang in there, Hideki! Just console yourself thinking: what else can you expect from a former nerd who wants to shuck her dweeby past?

Idol Shopping 3 of 12 by Hwang MiRee

Bully victim defender Kang Song Yie, who assumes her brother Ahul's identity to investigate her twin's attempted suicide, quails from the sharp gaze of school dictator Seo Ga Yoon. But when she reverts to her girl self and meets Ga Yoon, he all but pounces on her.

Relentless romantic overtures, however, can't compare with the escalating harassment Song Yie as Ahul experiences at the hands of her classmates, which prompts roommate Hwang Se Ryun into swearing that he will become “Ahul's” slave — if she can tough out the bullying and stay in school.

Oresama Teacher 2 of 8+ by Tsubaki Izumi

Disgraced yanki Kurosaki Mafuyu's attempt to leave behind her juvie delinquent past and live a normal girly school life is thwarted at every turn by homeroom teacher Saeki Takaomi—who just happens to be her childhood friend (and first love). Saeki-sensei's latest scheme lands Mafuyu and new friend Hayasaka in the school's ethics club, where they're appointed the vanguards in a fight to defang the school's reigning gang leader.

Shanaou Yoshitsune Genpei War 6 of 12+ by Sawada Hirofumi

Hyota (Yoshitsune) and comrades find more than they bargain for when they enter Kamakura and proceed to Kouzuke; one by one, Hyota's group vanishes. Desperate, Hyota...

You Can't Disappear From Me 2, The Ghost Conqueror 3, Oresama Teacher 1 (m&c! manga out now)

Also, the second and last volume of Aomata Pink's Panta Pan.

You Can't Disappear From Me 2 (m&c!)

Boku kara Kimi ga Kienai © Aikawa Saki/Shogakukan (First serialized in Sho-Comi)
Published in Indonesia as You Can't Disappear From Me by PT Gramedia/m&c!

Previously on You Can't Disappear From Me...

Hotaru-chan and Kousuke-kun's cozy chat fizzles from love rectangle interruptus: Hotaru's BFF—who already called dibs on Kousuke-kun—barges in on our “That kiss was no accident!” couple in Hotaru's bedroom.

Will Yukako-chan's mistimed interruption finally convince Hotaru to leave Kousuke-kun alone and renew her All Love is Unrequited focus on Haruna-sensei? That was her original plan anyways. Or can All Love is Unrequited (The Sequel) Kousuke persuade Hotaru to give him, not his older brother, a chance? And what of Yukako? What is she planning? (I can't wait for volume 2! And 3! Which streets 1 September 2010.)

Elsewhere, albeit it took over two years to get here —

The Ghost Conqueror 3 of 8+ by Sakondou Eri

I know you've been waiting for Momozono Yuuki, actually that Peach Boy Momotaro for (ice) ages. Well, wait no more. In the third The Ghost Conqueror alias Momogumi Plus Senki, Obfuscating Ordinary Student-ness Yuuki, who has to defeat monsters lurking at school before his 18th birthday and eternal oblivion catch up to him, finds he's not exempt from prosaic student concerns like midterms. But apparently, Aitan Private School's exams can't be dealt with as easily as chthonic fiends.

NEW M&C! TITLES: Shoujo! ♡

Efon O

DO WANT!

Out of the blue but to my endless delight, m&c! debuts Oresama Teacher by Tsubaki Izumi. And sasuga Hana to Yume, the shoujo romance comedy features a Strong Female Lead, Lifestyle Change, Delinquent/s, Ex-Delinquent/s, Reverse Harem, Crossdressing, Student-Teacher Relationship — not to mention teh usual elfin pretty-pretty chara designs. [Thanks, Baka-Updates, for the tags.]

Arrested and consequently expelled, juvie Kurosaki Mafuyu is banished to a countryside high school to reflect on her misdeeds. The “penitent” Mafuyu decides to make herself over into a No gang boss here! high school girl, but her past clings like a blood stain, or a boot camp instructor. Before Mafuyu can even present herself as the new transfer student to her class, she gets into a fight trying to save some random guy from getting his a*se kicked.

Except he's not that random: he's actually Mafuyu's teacher! Oh noes! *swivet* *swivet*

As VIZ Media's Oresama Teacher 1 blurb notes: How can Mafuyu learn to be a girly girl if her teacher won't let her forget her yanki past?

m&c! also lets loose three new Shogakukan shoujo standalones: Devil Boyfriend (Devi-Kare) by Shigano Iori, Moon Light Dream (Tsuki no Waltz) by Mitsuki Kaco and With You at Blue Rose (Kimi to Ao Bara Ryou de) by Washio Mie. Blurbs after the manga list.

New m&c! titles, continued...

Devil Boyfriend by Shigano Iori

Preacher's daughter Shino has a hard time finding a boyfriend because she's taller than most of her prospective leading men. She meets her cute childhood friend Shun, just returned from London, and dives head-first into love. But Shun is hiding a secret?

Shun's secret is given away by the title. Bah.

Devi-Kare was first serialized in ChuChu. Shigano Iori-sensei's other manga include: Kapo~n (>_<)!, Saikyou Help xxx and Oujisama no Iutoori.

Moon Light Dream by Mitsuki Kaco

Heaven dwells on the moon.

Couples Keiichiro and Nariko (Moon Light Dream) and Nozomu and Riho (Let's Meet Again in The Moon) find love perfected in the legendary palace of the moon.

If you want more deets than what m&c! gives in its back cover, go here and here.

Aside from Let's Meet Again in The Moon (Itsuka no Tsuki de Aimashou) and the antho-christener Moon Light Dream or Tsuki no Waltz, this omnibus contains two more one-shots: Night with Star and Snow and For The First Time.

Mitsuki Kaco-sensei also created The First One, but what I really want m&c! to license are Kiss/Hug and Sora Log. (Jasmine-san? You around to fangirl with me?)

With You at Blue Rose by Washio Mie

Kogiku is finally accepted at her dream Tokyo high school, but how come the dorm where she's supposed to stay is overflowing with bishounen??

And bishies are a bad thing?

Washio Mie-sensei is also the manga-ka of My Secret Guy, Love in Trattoria and Kare ga Café ni Iru no nara.

Finales

Panta Pan 2 of 2 by Aomata Pink

Trapped in a forest, Manatsu and friends are attacked by mysterious bacteria. Not only that, a still unidentified killer in their midst plays a deadly game of attrition.

Endgame time, Manatsu and Ran try to save the woods, the city and the future, but salvation demands another sacrifice.

Continuing series

Female Wolf's Boy 3 of 17 by Han YuRang

Without realizing it, Eun Soo grows more enamored with Mister Gang's bishieness, and the pair's unusual behavior invites Ji Hoon's suspicions. Meanwhile, Gyu Hyeon remains powerless to stop Ho Won and pals who now know of Eun Soo's fighting expertise. Will Ho Won's scheme to uncover Eun Soo's secret win out?

Female Wolf's Boy volume 4 is scheduled for a 1 September 2010 release.

Golden Age 11 of 15 by Samukawa Kazuyuki

As the prefectural semi-finals get underway, Kamome Junior High trounces the ferocious Eidai Fujisawa team and advances. But the road to victory remains long; Kamome's next opponent is Kurachi, the team strong enough to actually snub the Junior Youth invite.

How to be a Man 2 of 8 by Yamada Nanpei

Kumiko and Shingo attempt to protect their relationship from age- and height differences attacks. Just as they're putting forward their isshokenmei all, the toughest of rivals appears: Saegusa Goro, Shingo's cousin.

The nine years Shingo's senior Goro strongly resembles Shingo, placing Kumiko—whose heart goes doki-doki every time she sees him—in a big pinch.

Does this mean what we think it means?

This being Shingo and Kumiko's series, prolly not. And just like Female Wolf's Boy 4 (and You Can't Disappear From Me 3), the third How to be a Man ships on the 1st.

Shanaou Yoshitsune Genpei War 5 of 12+ by Sawada Hirofumi

Hyota alias Yoshitsune finally reaches Bandou and reunites with brother Yoritomo. Just as Hyota is preparing to take down Heike, Kinta, an old friend who knows everything about Hyota's past shows up.

The Story of Wang Fenglei Book Five by Tony Wong & Dick Kwong

Wang Fenglei's participation throws the Ginseng School power struggle into chaos, splitting the contest into two camps: the Canon Team made up of the Elder Supreme, Barbarian and Extreme Luo Cha and the Unbeatable Team comprising Dongfang Wudi, Jin Luohan and Wang Fenglei.

Which team will emerge victorious?

Sugar Family 3 of 6 by Hagio Akira

Efon O

DO WANT!

Their parents on an extended honeymoon, step sibs Yuka and Terminal SisCon onii-chan Taichi are forced into cohabiting propinquity. In this Rated-PG, Must. Not. Let. Anyone. Know! sitch, Yuka meets Arata, her junior in middle school. How will Yuka face a changed Arata, especially when she has to take part in a My Sis*Con contest?

m&c! sez there's an omake for this Satou (Sugar)-ke volume: Xocolatl.

AMERO BDs and KOLONI local comics

Foot 2 Rue: Street Soccer 3 (m&c!)

Foot 2 Rue: Street Soccer
© Mariolle Cardona

Team Blue's quest to uphold the Street Soccer Code continues in Mariolle & Cardona's Foot 2 Rue: Street Soccer. In volume 3, Tag faces getting thrown out of the game; Tek is hospitalized; and Gabriel can't compete, while in Foot 2 Rue: Street Soccer 4, the Blue Team embarks for Dakar for the finals between the strongest African teams.

Meanwhile, Garudaboi, Pendekar Pentung, om Bajuri, and Intan return in volume 2 of Garudaboi by Galang Tirtakusuma (who also created the action comic Hopper). In the latest comedic Garudaboi outing, super hero 4L4Y is joined by Garudamanly-man and Spidercat-man.

Two KOLONI local comics also debut: Fix-up from Ekyu, the creator of the horror mystery Morte, and Cermin Putih (White Mirror), a collab between Fachreza Octavio and LSS.

Fix-up (m&c!)

Fix-up tells the hilarious story of a bumbling fixer who doesn't live up to the problem solver demi-god stereotype, and instead either makes the city relive one day over and over (sounds like the D.Gray-man intro to exorcist Miranda Lotto) or floods a town (or two) with hamsters.

Cermin Putih (m&c!)

Cermin Putih on the other hand follows a teddy bear who has mysteriously turned into a human. The komikus muses: What does Teddy think about us?
