Dawn Aria 8, Mail Girlfriend 2, Takeru: Opera Susanoh Sword of the Devil 3 (m&c! 28 December 2011 manga) [UPDATED]

The rest of m&c!'s covers and NikBabble™ later
Update: This thing wouldn't let me rest until I'd filled in the blanks :P

Akatsuki no Aria © Akaishi Michiyo/Shogakukan [Serialized in Flowers]
Published in Indonesia as Dawn Aria by Gramedia/m&c!

Dedication to music finally allows Aria to pursue her dream of going abroad, and despite Nishimikado family opposition, Natsuo insists on accompaning Aria. But before Natsuo can even set sail, he is stabbed by his ex-fiancée Beniko.

Aria sets off, unaware of the tragedy that has befallen her husband. Upon her arrival in a foreign land, she is greeted by Tsukio in a state of distress.

We finally get Dawn Aria volume 8, even if we had to wait—oh, just over a year for it. Thank goodness Akaishi Michiyo's Taisho era josei manga also serializes in Cherry, otherwise... (cue ominous music here).

As for The girlfriend connected by e-mail —

Mail Girlfriend vol 2 of 5
By Oshima Towa

Kakeru has been dating Haruka for a year, but their relationship appears to be going nowhere. In fact, they seem to be growing apart. In this kind of situation, can Kakeru refrain from taking comfort in the ‘arms’ of new online friend, Myuu?

Mail Girlfriend volume 2 compiles chapters 7 to 13: timeout, access point, security hole, cookie, response, buffer overrun and impedance. [Original Japanese titles]

New m&c! titles
m&c! introes three one-shot Betsucomi shoujo manga: The Flavor of Love by Taamo (Rifle Girl manga-ka), Love Drops by Konno Risa (Invincible Lover) and Yummy Love Cafe, the second in Washio Mie's popular Derakomi “Café love story” series (following Love Café). Previews behind the cut.

Mangazines: Cherry 60/2011
Suddenly in Love by Konno Risa and Captured by Love by Ichikawa Show debut

m&c! adds Betsucomi manga to its Ciao/ChuChu/Sho-Comi/Flowers line-up. Cherry Issue 60 sees the premiere of Suddenly in Love, Konno Risa's Sweet Boy ni Goyoujin and while Ichikawa Show's Koakuma Lion is originally from Sho-Comi, it, too, debuts, retitled Captured by Love. The Childhood Friends, Tsundere, Christmas, Cool Boy, Unrequited Love Suddenly in Love and Childhood Friends, Modeling, Older Female/Younger Male, Childcare Captured by Love first chapter covers »here and »here.

As for other series still running in Cherry, I would assume: Dawn Aria by Akaishi Michiyo, I am not a Maid! by Iwaoka Meme, My Lovely Class Leader ♥ by Nishimura Tomoko and Yomogi Loves Money? by Arai Kiyoko. If I'm wrong and/or missed any title, please add/correct in the comments :)

Electric Daisy 6, Goong 21, Sugar Family 5 (m&c! 15 December 2010 manga and manhwa) [UPDATED]

Dengeki Daisy © Motomi Kyousuke/Shogakukan (Serialized in Betsucomi)
Published in Indonesia as Electric Daisy by PT Gramedia/m&c!

In Electric Daisy 6, fake DAISY continues to toy with Teru and Kurosaki. But just as the investigation looks like it's getting somewhere, Arai, their impostor suspect, kidnaps Teru. Teru sends Kurosaki an SOS email, trusting he will quickly come to her rescue.

Can Kurosaki save the girl he loves? But more than that, what does he mean by —

My patience has limits. Keep away from me if you know what's good for you.

You gotta admit, that's more than the usual provocative for Kurosaki — which leads Typical Shoujo Triad member dalina02-san to quiz since when shoujo manga released here became so semut—smut—inclined. (She observes a similar trend in the penultimate Sugar Family, blurbed Below the Cut.) Not that we're, I mean, I'm complainin'. In any case, find out what spawned moar fangirly squees in Electric Daisy 6, out now. (The quoted lines come from File 29: It Doesn't Come True to a Pretty Child.)

Goong [Palace Story] 21 of 23+ by Park SoHee

Shin susses out the secret deal between HyoRin and Yul, leading the prince to break off with HyoRin. (About time.) Yul, meanwhile, goes a step further and bets the crown, successfully blackmailing ChaeKyeong into choosing him.

Can Shin ever wrest his wife back from Yul? Consult the Shin x ChaeKyeong angsty Goong 21 for the answer.

Be a Naughty Girl 3 of 5 by Yeon Doo, Kim YeVin

On her way to meet Ha Ru, Yeong Won is snatched by a group of delinquents out to get Ha Ru. On the surface, Ha Ru couldn't be bothered but actions speak: he eventually goes and saves Yeong Won.

Does Ha Ru's louder than words rescue mean he's starting to like Yeong Won?

Meanwhile, Bo Ra hasn't given up on Ha Ru and issues a challenge, with Ha Ru as the prize. Who will victory favor — Bo Ra or Yeong Won?

Sugar Family 5 of 6 by Hagio Akira

For some strange reason, Yuka finds herself attending her step-brother Taichi's high school reunion. What lengths will Siscon oniichan Taichi go to to save Yuka from the “wolves” (his own friends) roaming the party?

And as if problems with one guy weren't enough, Yuka also continues to puzzle over her changing relationship with junior Arata. Arata's advances on Yuka make Taichi's hackles rise, prompting the possessive lover, I mean, brother, to throw down the gauntlet during the festival the trio attends.

DING! Who will win this match?

More than the winner, I'm more intrigued by —

D*mn Taichi. His kissing technique has really leveled up.

Aren't you similarly titillated by that chapter 16 line? This, along with chapter 17 dialogue I want to strip this yukata off you, are what made dalina02-san note the prospect of smut, albeit largely a reader fantasy at this point. (And likely to remain so.)

Sugar Family 5 compiles chapters 16 through 19, as well as the one-shot Kid X Box.
