Until Death Do Us Part 7, Soul Eater 8, Team Medical Dragon 17 (Level Comics 28 June 2011 manga) [UPDATED]

And...Dun, dun, dun, DUN!... Death's Notice 7!
Sawry for the NikBabble™ delay; there's a LOT of Level Comics to get through. (That's your Hella Long! warning.)

Until Death Do Us Part 7 (Level Comics)

Published in Indonesia as Until Death do us Part by Elex Media/Level Comics

Mission Exterminate Assassins in Shinjukugyoen, Start-OH!, and who should get in Mamoru's face but Detective Genda. In this inevitable badass showdown, which swordsman will prevail?

Observes Until Death do us Part editor Lenny-san: The Full action & technology! spares no one, not even Haruka; she leaps into the Volume 7: Girl meets...... crossfire armed with what Mamoru taught her ^^

Lenny-san likewise edits the also Full of fighting scenes! Soul Eater, Level's next Most Wanted manga separated from UDDUP by one point (my vote ^^).

Soul Eater 8 of 19+ by Ohkubo Atsushi

The SPSS (DWMA) mandates meisters and weapons to study Duel Arts to prep for combat against the first Kishin and the Arachnophobia syndicate. But resonance hiccups result in training #Fail.

Meanwhile, Medusa soul's survives Stein's death blow and resurfaces in a new body.

Lenny-san promises that we get Awesome! Death The Kid action in this tank (see »Wiki's summary for a sneak peek at asymmetriphobic DTK's virtuosity). Also, the Shinigama–Witch clot, errr, plot, deepens ^_^

Soul Eater 8 compiles chapter 28 through 31: Bodyguard (Part 2), Snake and Reunion Express (Part 1 and 2). [*NOT Level's chapter titles]

New Level manga: Kowloon's Seekers

Kowloon's Seekers 1 (Level Comics)

Shin Kijou no Kowloon
© Aoki Tomo & Nagasaki Takashi
Shinchosha [Comic Bunch]
Published in Indonesia
as Kowloon's Seekers
by Level Comics

Mid-21st century. Tsukueda Kyu is a seeker living in Neo Kowloon. Raised by the genetically engineered rabbit, Rabbi, Kyu hunts for missing ‘goods’ and ‘hearts’ in Tokyo, along with his animal sidekick slash parent.

Little do Kyu and Rabbi expect their next seeker case to pit them against Monk, a genius chimpanzee with big Annihilate humans! schemes. A chimp modified by Professor Moro, the same (mad) scientist who tweaked Rabbi.

Lenny-san (*grin*) deems this new science fiction/detective series a must for 20th Century Boys and Monster fans. Why? Explains an unidentified Elex Media editor: writer Nagasaki Takashi collaborates with Urasawa Naoki on Monster and Billy Bat. Nagasaki Takashi-sensei was also among the planning staff of the live-action 20th Century Boys movie, as well as supervisor of the Monster anime for Studio Bee.

Meanwhile, manga-ka Aoki Tomo-sensei has more shoujo than seinen manga among his/her backlist (Fushigi Doushiden Hakke no Sora, Ryuuyou-kun Shimatsu Ki and the ongoing Sangokushi Joker, all first serialized in Akita Shoten's Mystery Bonita horror comics magazine).

Baka-Updates Manga identifies the 2002.12-vintage Kijou no Kuryuu or Kijou no Kowloon as the prequel to Kowloon's Seekers. I wonder, though, whether the latter is truly a continuation; I lean more to a reworking, I don't know why. Kijou no Kowloon was published by Shogakukan (Big Comics Special imprint) while Kowloon's Seekers was published by Shinchosha (Comic Bunch Extra imprint).

Lenny-san's GET! parting shot: Kyu and Rabbi solve cases not only with logic and deduction, but also with liver heart ♡. The poignant backstories don't lose out to the exciting cases >0<
