Nodame Cantabile 23, Nakayoshi 4/2011 (Elex Media 27 April 2011 manga) [UPDATE2: Dream Eater Merry 1 by Ushiki Yoshitaka postponed]

Update2 Elex sez in the 4 May STO that Dream Eater Merry 1 did not release on Wednesday. Keeping it here though because it's not repeated in next week's list. It's tentatively skedded for 11 May 2011. Will confirm later.

[First serialized in Kiss]

After disappearing, Nodame finally returns to Paris. She also embraces the piano again, this time playing her own Free and Gleeful music though. Chiaki begins to accept the path Nodame is determined to take, but all that changes when Nodame performs Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 31.

You can see why I didn't tack on "of 23" to Nodame 23 in the post title — to accommodate the not-so off-chance that Elex publishes the two-volume Encore Opera Hen as Nodame Cantabile 24 and 25 — just like Kodansha and (Tong Li Taiwan) did.

I reinstate Kariage kun 41, per Elex's 4.27 STO. The New Kobochan 1-4 reprints that didn't release on the 20th are skedded for 4 May. (Back story here.)

New Elex manga

Whilst the Arsène Lupin edu-manga generated favorable buzz long before volume 1 actually got a street date, Dream Eater Merry emerges as the top new manga DO WANT!, prolly owing to its recent anime adapt. Elex's summary

Mimpi manusia adalah dunia, dan penguasa dunia-dunia yang dikunjungi saat tidur ini adalah para setan mimpi. Suatu ketika, hal sebaliknya terjadi; para setan mimpi juga ingin berkunjung ke dunia manusia. Untuk itu, mereka butuh wadah berupa tubuh manusia yang mereka kuasai kesadarannya. Mimpi buruk mengalir ke dunia nyata, dan yang menghadang mereka hanya satu, Merry Nightmare, setan mimpi yang terlempar keluar ke dunia manusia dan justru mencari jalan pulang.

—goes on about the role reversal of dream demons wanting ingress to the human world and needing to possess human vessels, which is where our heroine Merry comes in, for she needs to stop the leaking nightmares...I find the Elex blurb convoluted (but still skosh stingy on Why invest? detail), so I truncated the translate. If, like me, you prefer the Fujiwara Yumeji-centric synopsis, »here's an informative one from Wikipedia. (Of course, you won't need it if you've watched the anime.)

Edit (per 2011.05.01) As advised at the top of the post, Dream Eater Merry will likely street on the 11th.

Elex also apparently wants to introduce a new generation to the eponymous Arsène Lupin, gentleman burglar who can disguise himself as anyone. In volume 1 of Kazumine Daiji's Kumon Manga Library classic, the mysterious thief is rumored to have boarded the cruise ship Provence, his alleged presence unleashing terror on passengers Close Circled by an ocean.

Will Lupin get caught? And who will do the catching?

The third premiere is the boxing troped Stand Up!, the volume 1 cover of which just makes me go Pfft! and then Guffaw! (But then again, I'm not the target demographic. Not really burning to become strong(er) through boxing, you know.) Rounding out the newbies is another Doraemon Movie manga duo, Petualangan Nobita di Kota Mainan —First and Last— based on the 1997 Doraemon: Nobita's Adventure in Clockwork City film.

Nakayoshi 4/2011: Animal Official debuts

That XX Me!'s Yukina is Nakayoshi Gress! 4's cover girl promises breath-stealing Shigure × Yukina doki-doki, but the conventional newsworthy is the debut of Fukushima Haruka's Animal Official. Circumstantial evidence makes a case for this a half-human creature slinks into the animal club; he evinces Dracula manga equaling 1-nen 5-kumi Ikimo Gakari, the ex-Nakayoshi Lovely Vampires and Werewolves, oh my! serial. Further assuming that Animal Official replaces CHOCOLATE by the same manga-ka.

The other Nakayoshi pals per the cover line-up are: Arisa by Ando Natsumi, Hell Girl Return by Eto Miyuki and Jigoku Shojo Project, Little Marchen and Ogawa and Team Saito by Sakyo (the latter's volume 5 released last February), Little Shugo Chara! by PEACH-PIT & Naphthalene Mizushima, Navi Runa by Kikuta Michiyo & Ikeda Miyoko and Shugo Chara! Encore! by PEACH-PIT.

Living on borrowed time, Hanatsuki Lys searches for the demon who lent her his heart. She must find him before the contract deadline—when he returns to devour her—comes to pass. In the middle of her search, however, Shiva, her bodyguard and caretaker throughout her travels, suddenly falls comatose.

Sanzoku Ou: King of Bandits 7 of 13 by Sawada Hirofumi

✿ Emotional investment in Sawada Hirofumi's Talkin' 'bout a revolution manga continues to climb. For those angsticipating what's next, in Sanzoku Ou: King of Bandits 7, twenty days surrounded by a numerically superior enemy take its toll, and not just on soldier morale. As food stocks drop—to near-starvation levels—Masashige gives the order: Tell everyone to eat their fill.

What is Masashige thinking?

If you want further Nagato problems STAT!, go through back issues of the Indonesian Shonen Magz; the series wrapped in Issue 77. (If you want a similar historical series, try out m&c!'s Shanaou Yoshitsune Genpei War from the same manga-ka.)

Here is Greenwood 1 of 6 by Nasu Yukie

I thought this was the second time Elex was issuing Here is Greenwood; turns out I was wrong. (That Deluxe crown on the cover lured me into thinking it shared the same status as Topeng Kaca Deluxe and Angin Musim Gugur (and the upcoming Golden Book reissue). This release actually represents the Elex premiere.

Doom and gloom trail 15-year old school boy Hasukawa Kazuya. Not only does his oniichan up and marry Kazuya's first love, Kazuya himself has to live with the blissful couple. Kazuya refuses to subject himself to moar blues, so he transfers to the all-male Ryokuto Academy and moves into the dorm nicknamed Greenwood.

Imagine Kazuya's consternation when he finds he's rooming with... a girl?!

Baka Updates' users tag Koko wa Greenwood Crossdressing, Dorms, Rated OT, Shoujo with Male Lead. They also file the series under Oranyan, which I understand from bangin-san is the male equivalent of tsundere. (bangin-san cites these oranyan examples: Tsukimori Ren (La Corda d'Oro) and Wolfram (Kyou Kara Maou).) Chiaki (Nodame Cantabile) is another example.

I'm assuming the Greenwood oranyan is Dropped the Bridget on Him Kazuya? Whoever it is, Elex promises that the thicker bunko edition will satisfy your trap comedy cravings (if not your fujo BL parti pris).
