Bleach © Kubo Tite/Shueisha [Serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump]
Published in Indonesia by Gramedia/m&c!
Ichigo is powerless against Ulquiorra. Drowning in remorse, Orihime can only stare dumbstruck. Just when all seems hopeless, Ichigo transforms into a Hollow.
Now turned into a berserker hollow, Ichigo attacks Ulquiorra until he is stopped by Uryū just before delivering the final blow,
relates Wiki in its Bleach, Vol. 41 summary. After some You can't be a Hollow! and You're alive?! protestations from Ulquiorra-sama and Ishida-kun, Hollow Ichigo suddenly appears behind Ulquiorra, grabbing one of his arms and ripping it off.
(That last quote comes from Bleach Wiki's The Lust 4
synop.)
Bleach 41: Heart—which has Espada Yammy Llargo as the cover boy (>.<)—compiles chapters 350 through 358: The Lust 4,
The Lust 5,
The Lust 6,
The Ash,
Heart,
Azul-Blood Splash,
Tyrant of Skulls,
The Colossus of Fear
and King of the Clouds.
Moving on from Shirosaki —
Asyu believes that he loves only Princess Aris, but when Nuri is hurt, he fears he is going to lose her. Has Asyu undergone a change of heart? Princess Aris, too, harbors feelings for...?
Meanwhile, the deadline for appointing the princess's consort looms. Whom will the Princess pick?
Choices, choices... :D

Published in Indonesia
as Just Love Me! by m&c!
Chisa is dating Rio, *the* fangirl idol of her school. But princely Rio hides [not anymore –Ed.] a secret: he is a Yakuza scion. So aside from spending days bodyguarded by The Real Scary, Chisa is dragged into an inter-clan power struggle. This so incenses normally gentle Rio that he turns him into...
...prolly not as much of a berserker as Hollow Ichigo :D
Rio×Chisa spans two stories: the antho namer Just Love Me!
and Just Go!
. Rio's Yakuza mentor Ban also get his own side story, Fantasy Lollipop.
Omnibus closer Baby, Let's Dance
features a Yakuza's daughter instead of son — Ai who dreams of a prince but lands...Sousuke who is, to put it mildly, a little out there. (Thanks, for the snap synops, Lina-chan ^^)
Other Shiiba Nana manga published by m&c!: Kiss Me After School!, Gorgeous Twins, Prince Romantica and The Underground Kids. Latest is My Egoist Teacher ♥, originally Sensei wa Egotist. If/when m&c! licenses Nana-chan's Sensei wa Sadistic (first published in Japan 2010.08), I wonder what m&c! will title it?
Imma also wait for the Bishies galore! Ookamitachi no Shiikuho (JP release: 2011.02); the Boarding House, Childhood Friends
Love Share (2010.05); and Bishounen Moraimashita, starring a bishounen butler (2008.06).
BTW, can anyone confirm whether m&c! has already published Animal Jungle (2007.11 vintage)? I can't find it in m&c!'s site (which sports a yummy new look ^^.) And since I've turned this sub-section into Shiiba Nana-sensei's backlist list, might as well mention Akuma na Kare to Ikenie Tenshi that, based on its original 2005.08 street date, is prolly Sensei's debut tank.
☂ [RE-STO]: Noted the Restocks heterogeneity at the top because we get the gamut from sports manga and AMERO comics (the Dive!! series by Mori Eto & Ikeno Masahiro and Alber CG/Sebastien Celimon's Hand 7) to Chinese historical manhua (Li Zhi Qing & Zhuang Han Bo's Fu and Dragon) to the usual shoujo romances, whether from Japan or homegrown (How to make a Princess by Izumi Asuka and Flower Rhapsody! by Christy).

Please continue to #prayforJapan and/or do something more to help the people who suffered through the devastating quake and tsunami. Still no word on some manga-ka post 3.11; fortunately as I write this, ANN reports that all Shogakukan and Shueisha manga creators (Electric Daisy's Motomi Kyousuke-sensei is a Shogakukan manga-ka) have been accounted for. (Thanks, Jasmine-san, for the Mangaka's Status in Japan After 11/03/2011 - Google Docs link.)

Published in Indonesia as Electric Daisy by Gramedia/m&c!
Kurosaki resolves to come clean about his so-called “sin” and DAISY's true identity. He invites Teru out to soften the revelation, unaware that “Akira” is biding his time before approaching Teru and... (Take home Electric Daisy 7 to find out what trap “Akira” springs on our KuroTeru.)
A couple of “venerable” manga series superannuates this m&c! sked (try to remember when you first started reading them): Adachitoka & Kawashima Tadashi's Alive and Seino Shizuru's Pure Love Kamikaze Captain.
Alive wraps the way it launched, with only a list of the quoted from... chapter titles gracing the back cover:
#79 Let hope inspire you, but not let idealism blind you.
(from musician Don Henley; m&c!'s chapter title: Permohonan
/Plea)
#80 I wish they would only take me as I am.
(from post-Impressionist painter Vincent Van Gogh; m&c!'s chapter title: Cara Melihat Dunia
/How to View the World)
#81 The most beautiful thing in the world is, of course, the world itself. (from American Modernist poet Wallace Stevens; m&c!'s chapter title: Menangis, Tertawa
/Crying, Laughing)
Final Everything has been figured out, except how to live. (from French existentialist philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre; m&c!'s chapter title: Semoga Sehat Selalu
/Hopefully, Healthy Always)
There's also a manga-ka outtake at the end of Alive 21.
Meanwhile, in the last Pure Love Kamikaze Captain, Matsuru, not wanting to lose Chiemi's friendship, tries to bury his feelings where Chiemi can't see them. Hirata, however, realizes Matsuru's yearnings and dares Matsuru to compete with him for the love of Chiemi.
So now that Pure Love Kamikaze Captain is finished, does it mean we can soon look forward to the sequel Junai Tokkou Taichou! Honki?
Tony Wong's Long Hu Men/Oriental Heroes manhua hurtles to the next stage of martial arts action with Long Hu Men - Next Level, but doesn't ditch the bombastic subtitling (the first in the series is subtitled Tewasnya Dewa Iblis Awan Api!
/The Death of the Fire Cloud Demon God) nor the artwork I wouldn't be caught carrying. (No offense meant to LHM fans.)

Published in Indonesia
as My Egoist Teacher
by Gramedia/m&c!
But then it's equally likely you'll see me hugging Shiiba Nana's My Egoist Teacher—the other debut—close to my chest, reluctant to let anyone see me indulging in Guilty Pleasures.
There is a new English teacher in town. His name, Kyouichi Sanada. Handsome, blond, brown-eyed. When this lady-killer smiles, fangirls swoon. So how come whenever we're alone, he changes into a super-selfish guy?!!
In addition to the My Egoist Teacher ♥
title story blurbed above, this shoujo anthology also contains shorts Teacher's Girlfriend,
Teacher's Cat
and My Egoist Teacher ♥ Summer Holiday.
This omnibus doesn't seem to be related to Shiiba Nana-sensei's Sensei wa Sadistic.
m&c! has also published these other Nana-chan
manga: Kiss Me After School!, Gorgeous Twins, Prince Romantica and The Underground Kids.
If you're a shoujo fan willing to part with IDR 80,000 and to date have been looking for Majiko!'s time-skipping Dynamic Duet (I guess it didn't reprise reissue last week), Tsuda Masami's Don't make her mad! Eensy Weensy Monster AND Harue Le Pon's Be careful of what you wish for... Mokke Guardian From Heaven—what's the probability of these conditions obtaining?—this 3×two-volumes value set is for you. Extending that possibility not zero off-chance into forcing the issue territory, here are the covers to facilitate your hunt: DD 1 and 2 | EWM 1 and 2 | MGFH 1 and 2.

Kiss Me After School! by Shiiba Nana
Review/recommendation by Lina-chan
Rating: 8.5/10
Houkago Kiss © Shiiba Nana/Shogakukan
Published in Indonesia as Kiss Me After School! by Gramedia/m&c!
Kumpulan kisah cinta di sekolah yang romatis, fun dan sweet. Ada pasangan cewek tidak populer dan cowok sangar (Kiss Me After School, Another Kiss Me After School), cewek talent scout yang jatuh cinta dengan model cowok (Produce An Angel) dan cewek ceroboh yang jatuh hati dengan ketua osis yang perfeksionis (Prince Lock On). Jangan lupakan juga komik 4 panel yang menghiasi setiap kisahnya. Sangat lucu dan membuat komik ini makin oke

Dengeki Daisy © Motomi Kyousuke/Shogakukan (Serialized in Betsucomi)
Published in Indonesia as Electric Daisy by PT Gramedia/m&c!
Contains [SPOILERS!]
An email virus sent from “DAISY” spreads throughout the school, prompting Kurosaki to try to smoke out the fake hacker. Before Kurosaki can uncover the pretender's identity, he is knocked out when he saves Teru from a shadowy threat too close to lethal for comfort.
The investigation stalled and Kurosaki injured, Teru keeps vigil at the hospital where he is admitted. Realizing just how much Kurosaki means to her, especially now that he has sacrificed himself ... yada yada yada.
The important thing in volume 5 of Motomi Kyousuke's Electric Daisy is: while they are alone in his hospital room, They. Kiss!
Meanwhile, I do hope there's no such kiss (again) between Hyuga Rasetsu and Iwatsuki Kuryuu, the kotodama-tsukai in Shiomi Chika's Rasetsu's Flower (Rasetsu no Hana). Volume 6 supposedly delves into Kuryuu's past and I could care less. I ship YakouRasetsu all the way, baybeh! (Hoshino Yakou is the water exorcist ex-the prequel Yurara's Moon.)
In m&c!'s latest tankou of Dawn Aria (Akaishi Michiyo's Cherry-serialized josei title), Aria conceals her worries about her left hand from Natsuo and Shirayuki-sensei, but Natsuo matches Aria's secretiveness and eavesdrops on her piano playing. Shirayuki-sensei later uncovers what Aria is hiding and marches her off to a doctor. While there, Sensei receives news of his wife's death.
m&c! released an Akaishi Michiyo-sensei omnibus, The Best Selection of Akaishi Michiyo, last 2 June.
Yes, Shiiba Nana's Gorgeous Twins is Gokujou Twins, the title alluding to the dupe pair who caused Sara's trauma and who have now returned, more gor-jus! than ever, to make her life even more miserable (or so she thinks). Shiiba Nana's other m&c!-released shoujo manga standalones include Prince Romantica and The Underground Kids.
Chiba Kozue's Love Letter is Hidarite no Love Letter, in which Nishino and Minami Taiga exchange left hand romantic scribbles, the “love letters” of the title. Chiba Kozue is the manga-ka of 24 Colors or 24 Colors - Hatsukoi no Palette and Let's Meet at School Tonight (Yoru no Gakkou e Oide Yo!).
It turns out Wao Akira's Sayaka's Special Attack, Big Victory! is Tokkou Sayaka Bucchigiri, which finds Sayaka on a fund-raising drive to prevent her school from closing, meeting a singer slash savior who offers to help her raise money if she becomes his girlfriend. (Even though Sayaka already has Aoi.)
Other Sayaka... titles include prequels Yankee Girl (Tokkou Sayaka Yoroshiku) and Sayaka, I Love You! (Tokkou Sayaka ☆ I Love You) that relate the progress of Sayaka and Aoi's romance.
(I don't think that there was any doubt Welcome to Lovers Café Marina by Kitamura Yuuka could have been anything other than Lovers Café Marina ni Youkoso, set in a café that holds all sorts events for couples.)
Finally, there are the first two volumes of Foot 2 Rue: Street Soccer bande dessinée/BDs (Franco-Belgian comics that m&c! calls AMERO comics and Level Comics, ROMICs), which intensify the current soccer mania.
