Yona The Girl Standing in the Blush of Dawn 4, School Babysitters 2, Shanaou Yoshitsune Genpei War 16 (m&c! 21 December 2011 manga) [UPDATED]

m&c! has covers and synopses if you don't wanna gamble on me filling in this MinimaList's blanks. Update: I now have my own version, belated though it is.

Kodansha [Serialized in Monthly Shonen Magazine]
Published in Indonesia as Shanaou Yoshitsune Genpei War by Gramedia/m&c!

Yoritomo defies Yoshinaka for threatening Lord Houou to issue an edict quelling Yoritomo. At the banks of River Rokujou, Yoshinaka challenges the Supreme Commander of the Shadow Forces Yoshitsune to a one-on-one duel.

I apologize for any misinterpretations of Shanaou Yoshitsune Genpei War 16's original Indonesian synopsis; whatever I know of the Genpei War, Wiki supplied. I'm a bit more confident, though, with my adapt of m&c!'s Yona, The Girl Standing in the Blush of Dawn 4 blurb:

Yona, The Girl Standing in the Blush of Dawn vol 4 of 7+
By Kusanagi Mizuho

"A legend tells of Four Dragon Warriors sworn to serve and protect the first king of Kouka, the Scarlet Dragon God."

Yona, Haku and Yun journey in search of the legendary Dragon Warriors. They find the White Dragon who joins their quest. He possesses the power to detect the other dragons but upon the group's arrival at the village of the Blue Dragon, the Blue Dragon is nowhere to be found...

New m&c! manga
Three shoujo one-shot tankou street: Tokyo Rock Boy by Kikuchi Kamaro (My Very Dear Bad Boy manga-ka), originally Tokyo Rock Shounen first serialized in Betsucomi; ex-Sho-Comi Stylist of Love (Yubisaki de Koi, Somaru) by Sakisaka Mea (Lovely Lesson - Hair Make Episode); and Ciao serial Diamond Step by Iwaoka Meme (I am not a Maid!), retitled Ice Dancing with You. Must thank tweep, manga translator Nishi-san, for identifying Stylist of Love as Yubisaki de Koi, Somaru. (m&c!'s version has a different front cover; the original Japanese cover was demoted to first page — don't ask me why.)

I preview this newbie trio after the release list.

Crazy Girl Shin Bia 7, Mysterious Joker 5, Yona The Girl Standing in the Blush of Dawn 3 (m&c! 9 November 2011 manhwa and manga) [UPDATED]

Can't seem to shake this flu—yeah, yeah, I always have excuses handy—but I'll still fill in the m&c! eyecandy and blurbs and NikBabble™ later. Also, that Yona, The Girl Standing in the Blush of Dawn is still a mouthful :P «Update: No change in Akatsuki no Yona's title, but at least, synops.

Yona, The Girl Standing in the Blush of Dawn 3 (m&c!)

Akatsuki no Yona © Kusanagi Mizuho/Hakusensha [Serialized in Hana to Yume]
Published in Indonesia as Yona, The Girl Standing in the Blush of Dawn
by Gramedia/m&c!

Desperate to learn what the future holds, Yona and Haku search for a seer. They meet Yun and Ikusu after the pair rescued them from their pursuers. Is Ikusu the seer Yona and Haku are looking for? What path does the oracle show Yona who only yearns to protect her loved ones?

What I wanna know is: Who else here fangirls Suwon-sama other than me and nacchan? OK, so she's moar a fangirl than I am; I still haven't read Yona, The Girl Standing in the Blush of Dawn 2, and here volume 3 already streeted... (Haku-sama fangirls are welcome to chime in—I'm all for equal opportunity—and the comment box waits for you down there). Still, I'm half-tempted to pick up Akatsuki no Yona again, just for that Suwon-sama on the cover.

Half-hearted Suwon-sama fangirling regardless, I definitely fangirl Mu Young, another Affably Evil White-Haired Pretty Boy . Unfortunately, Crown Prince Yoo Baek steals the spotlight in m&c!'s Crazy Girl Shin Bia 7 blurb:

Crazy Girl Shin Bia vol 7 of 19
By Hwang MiRee

On the way back to the palace, Bia is abducted by Amar, son of the Goyo tribal leader. What retaliation does Crown Prince Yoo Baek visit for the crime of kidnapping his precious bride?

I preview Mysterious Joker 5 after the release list to free up Above the Cut space for newb School Babysitters *pokes Kia-chan*:

School Babysitters 1 (m&c!)

Published in Indonesia as
School Babysitters by m&c!

Caring for one sibling already proves a handful, what more a LOT. But such is Ryuuichi's new everyday. Ryuuichi is accustomed to taking care of younger brother Kotarou, a good thing as they've just lost their parents. But when Ryuuichi enrolls into Morinomiya, he finds his babysitting duties asploding.

Yup, Shoujo with Male Lead, aside from the equally obvious Childcare, Babysitter, Older Brother, Dead Family Members. Baka-Updates Manga explains that Ryuuichi becomes the school daycare's new babysitter after he and Kotarou are adopted by Morinomiya's chairman.

Gakuen Babysitters is Tokeino Hari's latest shoujo series. Four tankou have been compiled in Japan as of September 2011 and the manga continues to serialize in LaLa. The name Tokeino Hari sound familiar? She's the manga-ka behind Oniichan to Issho—published by Elex as With My Brothers—and Hitai ni Mikazuki that m&c! retitled Ninja & The Crescent Moon Princess.

Dunno if either Elex or m&c! ever licensed Gyakuten Honey, the 1 Volume (Ongoing) Body Swap comedy serialized in LaLa DX and LaLa Special (volume 1 published in Japan 2009.11).
