The Drops of God 9, Love Affair 11 and The Black Swindler 15 (Level Comics 9 November 2011 manga) [UPDATED]

As I mentioned over on the Elex side, it's slim pickins for synops and covers, so MinimaList—and ROMICs for lead—for nau. «Edit: Sorry, Leonard and Marsupilami fans, but I went and replaced the lead pix.

Kami no Shizuku: Les Gouttes de Dieu © Agi Tadashi & Okimoto Shu/Kodansha [Serialized in Morning] · Bokutachi wa Shitte Shimatta © Miyasaka Kaho/Shogakukan [Serialized in Cheese!]. Published in Indonesia as The Drops of God and Love Affair by Elex Media/Level Comics

In The Drops of God 9, we interrupt the regularly-scheduled Apostles treasure hunt for a new mission —

Shizuku wants to make Kido, the wine division newbie, like wines and he's willing to go all the way to his father's vacation house for clues to a certain special vintage. Does Shizuku find it? More to the point, what secrets does Shizuku unearth in the memory-filled house?

(You can bet that whatever Shizuku discovers, it will still have bearing on the Third Apostle.)

Kami no Shizuku: Les Gouttes de Dieu will have compiled 31 volumes in Japan by 17 November. We have quite a way to go.

Meanwhile, memory plays some tricks in Love Affair 11:

Yukito and Kotori's relationship improves after both come clean about their feelings. Yukito even gets to stay with Kotori after her older sib leaves him alone to look after the sick Kotori. How good are Yukito's nursing skills? More importantly, can he keep up the platonic bedside manner when there's no one else in the house?

Kotori doesn't help matters any when she calls out for Kenken...

The 13th Bokutachi wa Shitte Shimatta tankou streets 26 December in Japan.

More previews of ongoings after the release list. Up here, the Ranko The Governor premiere.

Ranko The Governor
by Level Comics

Beautiful young widow Akatsuki Ranko is elected governor of the (fictitious) Waga prefecture. Gossip has it she won on a sympathy vote after her politician husband's death. Little wonder that many look down her, including one shady businessman colluding with an equally shady politico to embezzle public funds. But is Madam Governor as callow as people think?

Ranko The Governor volume 1 compiles chapters 1–7 and 8. Four Chiji Ranko volumes have been published in Japan as of November 2005.

Other Takahashi Noboru manga
More current than Chiji Ranko is Mogura no Uta, the ongoing Big Comic Spirits seinen action drama that will have logged 29 volumes in Japan by 27 December. Takahashi Noboru-sensei also created Ahoudori no Uta serialized in Business Jump (Young Jump Comics volume 2 per October 2010) and the psychological drama series Riman Gambler Mouse, first serialized in Morning (four of four volumes per 2001.11), and its one-volume sequel, Riman Gambler Mouse: Jotai Jigokuhen, serialized in MiChao! (KCDX MiChao KC: 2008.09).

Published in Indonesia as
Marsupilami -
Mars Si Hitam
by Elex Media

Four ROMICs or bande dessinée release, including Franquin, Batem & Yann's Marsupilami - Mars Si Hitam that editor Adis-san notes is populated by not just your regular yellow-and-black marsupilami, but also a charcoal-furred variety ;). Mars, the Black One dubbed "The Troublemaker" faces extermination at the hands of goons hired by the company that plans to build a road through Palombi forest.

There's also Franquin's solo flight Spirou & Fantasio - Para Perompak Keheningan that includes The Quick Super aside from the Pirates of Silence title story. Fantasio, sent to Incognito City to sniff out sensational news, not only fails to locate Count Champignac, he also ends up kidnapped. But before he goes missing, he and Spirou are shocked to learn that...marsupilami can talk??

Sez Spirou editor Niken-san: We'd previously thought Marsupilami can only go ‘Houba-houba’; in this volume, we learn that the keeyoot critter has the makings of a sparkling conversationalist ^_^

(The other BDs are Jojo - Papa Pulang by André Geerts, in which Jojo and grandma trek all over France, just for Jojo to see his dad, and Lucky Luke - Dalton Bersaudara Bertobat by Morris & Goscinny, in which Luke's arch foes, the Daltons, actually...repent!?

Tokyo 23 Vol. 1, Daydreaming 2, GoGo Hanasaki Detective Office 4 of 4 (Level Comics 15 June 2011 manga) [UPDATED]

The Level minimal-list mutates...and how! :D *sotto voce* BTW, I already have Level's release skeds clear to 6 July, thanks to Editor-in-Chief Demonbasher-san. Just have to get through this... and 22... and 28...

Tokyo23 © Hashimoto Eiji and Arashida Takeshi/Shinchosha
[First serialized in Comic Bunch]
Published in Indonesia by Elex Media/Level Comics

Someone designs a game to lure the increasing numbers of NEET and hikikomori back into the mainstream. Competitors are fitted with bracelets, and whoever retains the bracelet till the end walks away with a cool 100 million yen. For the washouts, however, death by bizarre means awaits...

Talk about a “novel” way of coping with a societal concern... >,<

ANN points out that Tokyo 23 takes place within the 23 wards of Tokyo and centers on Noboru, an unemployed youth whose dream is to become a martial arts fighter and rival Dan who also signs up for the ‘X Game.’ Level editor Nickyta-san raves about NEETs (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) and hikikomori in the starring role and thumbs ups the meeting between aloof Dan and gung-ho Noboru. TC critic Lina-chan finds the premise similarly compelling, rates the series premiere an 8 of 10 and recommends it as a GET~!

Hashimoto Eiji- and Arashida Takeshi's Comic Bunch seinen manga was adapted into a live-action series—TOKYO23: Survival City—starring Cannes Film Festival Best Actor Yagira Yuya as Arai Noboru and Hongō Kanata (Nishi Joichiro, GANTZ Perfect Answer) as Komori Dan. The five-episode series aired between September and October 2010 on WOWOW.

Manga-ka Hashimoto Eiji-sensei's ongoing series include Chiruran: Shinsengumi Chinkonka; the alternate history Tenshou no Ryoma (in which Sakamoto Ryōma, the visionary leader of the anti-Shogun movement doesn't die by an assassin's hand); and the Yankee-troped Gakuen Heiki Mitsumaru. Wrapped up like Tokyo 23 is E.D.D. (Eliminate Dangerous Doctors). All quite intriguing titles.

Daydreaming 2 of 2+ by Yoshimura Akemi

One of Drill Sergeant Granny's grandchildren, Takato Akira, goes to live in the house where Suzuko boards. Akira's rudeness leads to squabbles with Suzuko, but Hatoko falls for Akira at first sight. Akira's susceptibility to spiritual possession further complicates the situation as the two ancestor spirits possessing him both drool over Suzuko!

Editor Adisti-san observes that this tank contains musings about the world we live in and life in general, par for the course for a Yoshimura Akemi manga. Adisti-san also asks for your patience regarding the next installment because even in its home country, the third Yume no Mahiru tankou has yet to release. This When is the next coming out? uncertainty also prompts Lina-chan to hold off buying the volumes, but she does approve of the escalating supernatural fantasy and gives Daydreaming 2 an 8 of 10.

ROMICs: Franquin's Marsupilami series premieres

André Franquin's series about a fictional black-spotted yellow monkey-like species, the Marsupilami, double launches with Marsupilami - Menangkap Marsupilami (Marsupilami, Tome 0: Capturer un Marsupilami!) and Marsupilami - Ekor Marsupilami (Marsupilami, Tome 1: La Queue du Marsupilami), the latter featuring art by Batem and story by Greg, originally published by Marsu Productions. The Marsupilami's arch-nemesis is the hunter Bring M. Backalive who lives to capture the critter, what else but breathing?
