Oresama Teacher 3, Idol Shopping 4, To The Top 2 of 2 (m&c! 20 October 2010 manga and manhwa) [UPDATED]

Filled in the blanks as promised.

Idol Shopping © Hwang MiRee/Samyang
Published in Indonesia by PT Gramedia/m&c!

Identity problems—in iroiro senses of the word—drive the narrative in at least three m&c! releases this sked, starting with Kang Song Yie who subs for her twin in an all-boys boarding school.

Kang Song Yie's patience runs out and—in front of Hwang Se Ryun and Chae Ha Jin—kicks the collective a*se of the school boys bullying “Ahul” all this time. This earns her the increased surveillance of Hwang Se Ryun and Chae Ha Jin. The eagle-eyed pair, however, is not the only one harboring suspicions about Kang Song Yie. Seo Ga Yoon has found out who “S” is and calls her house!

And from that back cover blurb, I expect things to get hot(ter) in Idol Shopping 4, part of the 10.20 HMR soonjung manhwa assault.

Meanwhile, Mafuyu's much anticipated short holiday doesn't turn out quite what she expected in Oresama Teacher 3. At home, the heretofore yanki bumps into not just her former subordinates, but also an old West High foe.

To The Top! 2 of 2 by Tsukimiya An

“K&T” scores a performing slot on a variety show. If Japanese viewers take to the Kobato and Takeru duo, this might mean the start of a sterling showbiz career for both. But before this, Kobato glimpses a burn scar on Takeru.

What secret does Takeru hide? And will Kobato's TV debut finally allow her to reunite with her brother? Find out in the To The Top! finale.

I blurb the penultimate A Badboy Drinks Tea! 10 and the new shoujo manga standalones Canon by Usami Maki, Cold Heart by Hoshimori Yukimo and Kingdom of the Beast by Takagi Shigeyoshi after the fake cut.

New titles

Canon by Usami Maki

Don't confuse this Usami Maki standalone with Shiomi Chika's vampire-troped Canon, also published by m&c!; this anthology compiles four shorts from Betsucomi. The antho-christener Canon is a Student-Teacher romance:

Her father named her “Kanon” after his favorite classical music piece. One day, Kanon overhears someone playing her namesake; the pianist turns out to be Azuma-sensei, Kanon's math teacher.

From that moment on, Kanon associates Azuma-sensei with the piece beloved by her dad, and romantic feelings blossom.

But apparently, there's something more to that musical piece.

I'm wondering if the Canon alluded to is Pachelbel's Canon, performed by the Neon Genesis Evangelion main characters on cello, viola and two violins in The End of Evangelion.

Aside from Canon, this omnibus contains one-shots Happy Rain, Bang! and Santa Comes! Baka-Updates Manga sez Happy Rain is the story of tongue-tied Tsubasa who prevails upon her crush Sugita's basketball teammate to hand Sugita a gift. Awkwardness descends when Tsubasa has to spend fifteen minutes with Sugita's co-cager under a shed, waiting for a downpour to subside.

Usami Maki-sensei is probably best known for Orange Kiss, but her last m&c! outing was the Love Sign series. Her other m&c!-published manga include Caramel Milk Tea, Bus For Spring, Sakura Rhythm, Happy Couple and How Much is Happiness?. (My memory's failing me, but I think m&c! also licensed Hetare Venus.) Her ongoing Betsucomi serial is the Naive Female Lead, Platonic Love Kokoro Button.

Cold Heart by Hoshimori Yukimo

Kaho part-times in a restaurant to save up money (she needs it to follow fashion like her pretty older sister). Everyone on staff treats Kaho well — everyone, that is, except bishie college student Arata who could give ice lessons in coldness.

One day, Arata is injured saving Kaho from her own nervous wreck klutziness. Now Kaho has to work the same shift as the scary Arata!

In addition to Cold Heart are shorts Don't Touch Me!, 17cm One-sided Love and Please Don't Be Cold! Midnight Scans (excerpted by Baka-Updates Manga), snap-summarizes the other three stories in the Kare wa Tsumetai Furi o Shite compile:

• ♥ Don't Touch Me! features misandrist Momo who about goes apoplectic at any boy contact. What's going to happen when the cause of her trauma returns?
• ♥ 17cm One-sided Love tells of Sarishima's enduring unrequited love for short guy Sho.
• ♥ Please Don't Be Cold! is Maki Kurumi's plea to childhood “sweetheart” Sou-chan, now her teacher.

Hoshimori Yukimo-sensei also created the Confession, Love at First Sight, Popular Boy–troped 'Hajimete' Ageru! one-shot. Current Sho-Comi shoujo romances include Moesatsu Moe-chan and Otonani Naritai!!

Kingdom of The Beast by Takagi Shigeyoshi ♡

Hyakujuu Kingdom
© Takagi Shigeyoshi/Hakusensha
Published in Indonesia
as Kingdom of The Beast

“Dictator!!” doesn't even begin to insult Student Council president Taiga Shishio nor cover his multitude of sins. But I, Furuhashi Momoko, am going to end his authoritarian regime and restore peace to Kainan High.

So I vowed, but how come ousting Shishio is a near impossibility??

Getting this Opposites Attract standalone, not just for the drool-worthy panel when Shishio lets down his hair (bishie bangs!), but also for the Arranged Marriage, Rich kids, Old Schoolmates Bitter Trap extra, one of my all-time fave one-shots and not just from Takagi Shigeyoshi. (Nanao about to jump out the window was Pure Win.)

Below is Baka-Updates Manga's Bitter Trap synop:

Nanao came from a rich family before their business failed. Now the only hope for her family to pay off their debts is if she can cement a marriage with the prestigious Takatsuki family within a week. How will Nanao overcome this problem when one of the three eligible Takatsuki men is her former arrogant schoolmate, Yoshito, who completely distrusts people? And did we forget to mention that Nanao is already the ninety-ninth candidate for the position of future wife?!

Takagi Shigeyoshi-sensei (younger twin of manga-ka Morie Satoshi) also created the m&c!-published action/comedy/romance Flower in A Storm. Her current LaLa DX shoujo romance is Film Girl.

You Can't Disappear From Me 3, Alive 19, Shinobi Life 8 (m&c! 1 September 2010 manga)

Boku kara Kimi ga Kienai © Aikawa Saki/Shogakukan (First serialized in Sho-Comi)
Published in Indonesia as You Can't Disappear From Me by Gramedia/m&c!

Hotaru's unease over Yukako and Kousuke ending up partners mutates into outright fear after finding Kousuke bleeding from a escapee robber's stab wound —

—and we all know that DAL (Deep And Abiding Love), no matter how unwilling, turns non-negotiable stubborn in the face of a soulmate endangered. So, looking forward to official Kousuke x Hotaru coupleship in You Can't Disappear From Me 3.

Ya, ya, I know the newsworthy releases are Alive 19, Shinobi Life 8, .hack//G.U.+ 4, The Minami Family 6 and the award-winning Aoizaka Baseball Club 15, series MIA for at least half a year, if not longer. But as the latest Shinobi Life busies itself with ninja power struggles (to KageBeni WAFF detriment)—or more to the point, because this is MY blog and I'm a self-professed shoujo fangirl—I choose to lead with You Can't Disappear From Me for the second week in a row. Deal, k(udasai).

Ongoing manga and manhwa previewing resumes momentarily.
