Fairy Tail box set: Volumes 1-10, Juvenile Remix 6, Dr. Koto 7 (Elex Media 5 October 2011 manga) [UPDATED]

Anyone ask for NikBabble™? (Yeah, I'm delusional.)

Juvenile Remix 6, Dr. Koto 7 (Elex Media)

Maou - Juvenile Remix © Isaka Kotaro & Osuga Megumi/Shogakukan [First serialized in Shonen Sunday] · Dr. Koto Shinryoujo © Yamada Takatoshi/Shogakukan [Currently serialized in Big Comic Original, formerly in Weekly Young Sunday]. Published in Indonesia as Juvenile Remix and Dr. Koto by Elex Media

If you GET! Fairy Tail, Volumes 1–10 boxed (as I did), be sure to throw in Elex's latest volume 11. That is, if you didn't already. If you want the latest, latest chapter available in Indonesia, however, run to Shonen Magz which serializes Mashima Hiro's award-winning shounen manga monthly. Issue 10/2011 streets the same day as the box set. Meanwhile, the next Japanese Fairy Tail—volume 29—releases 2011.10.17. Now on to the next DO WANT!

In ‘Think!’ It's your only weapon! Juvenile Remix vol. 6, only one question needs asking: Who will emerge the victor in the battle between Ando and Master?

Maou - Juvenile Remix ended its tankou run in Japan in August 2009. I think it will be awhile still before Elex's concludes, what with the approval skeds Juvenile Remix has had to work with.

As for Dr. Koto 7, our hardworking doctor flies to Hokkaido for a conference that unfortunately becomes the target of a lone sniper. He starts picking off the doctor attendees and is himself fatally wounded in the firefight with police. No one seems willing to help the dying gunman. No one except Dr. Koto...

Dr. Koto vol. 7: Berjanji (Promise) compiles chapters 68 through 78. If you're looking for the latest chapters available in Indonesia, check out Shonen Star. Issue 17/2011's already on sale, and Issue 18 is penciled in for 12 October.

Dr. Koto Shinryoujo is up to volume 25 in Japan (released 2010.07) and continues to serialize in Big Comic Original.

Crayon Shinchan vol. 9 has been postponed to the 12th, so don't look for it here. The first volume of post-Usui Yoshito-sensei Crayon Shin-chan Shin-Men, however, appears to be all set for its Japanese premiere (volume 1 releases on 17 November 2011).

Mangazines: Shonen Magz 10/2011
Landing the cover of Shonen Magz Issue 10/2011 — the got-mah-anime-greenlit Code:Breaker, which juxtaposes eye for an eye vigilante Rei with conscience sidekick Sakura, for what reviewer Jason Green calls Kamijyo Akimine's attempt at morality play. The series spotlight, however, shines on Yukimura Makoto's epic Vinland Saga. Scroll down for why.

Wild Life 19, Dr. Koto 6, Defense Devil 5 (Elex Media 10 August 2011 manga) [UPDATED]

Also, a couple of (Shueisha!) manga we haven't seen for a year: Real by Inoue Takehiko (volume 10) and Claymore by Yagi Norihiro (volume 16).

Wild Life 19, Dr. Koto 6, Defense Devil 5 (Elex Media)

Wild Life © Fujisaki Masato/Shogakukan [First serialized in Shonen Sunday]; Dr. Koto Shinryoujo © Yamada Takatoshi/Shogakukan [First serialized in Weekly Young Sunday, currently in Big Comic Original]; Defense Devil © Youn InWan & Yang KyungIl/Shogakukan [First serialized in Shonen Sunday]. Published in Indonesia as Wild Life, Dr. Koto and Defense Devil by Elex Media

Updated with Elex artwork and blurbs and substantial NikBabble™

Tessho treats poor people's pets for free, but his goodness of   just lands him in hot water with Kanebakari, Meio University's stingy administrative chief. Kanebakari demands sanctions against Tessho for his sans university permission pro bono vet care.

Yup, Tessho and 2005 Shogakukan Manga Awardee Wild Life 19 are this week's hottest Elex GET!

And from vet, we move on to another manner of doctor, the middle of nowhere kind:

Dr. Koto 6 of 25+ by Yamada Takatoshi

Goto Kensuke alias Dr. Koto is the only doctor on the remote island of Koshiki, and it's to his credit that he can even perform surgery in such an isolated place.

One day, Dr. Koto gets into an accident in the mountains. He suffers from compartment syndrome, dislocated shoulder and loses consciousness because of his internal injuries.

Who's going to treat the doctor when the doctor himself is out?

Oh, dear. Dr. Koto's sitch goes way beyond a big pinch...Will a scream in his ear rouse the good doctor? I'm convinced that everything will turn out all right — and with no busted eardrums to additionally plague our heroic doctor. (I look to volumes 7 through 25+ for 100% confirmation that Dr. Koto survives.)

Elex notes that the 2003 Shogakukan Manga Awardee Dr. Koto Shinryoujo has sold as many as nine million copies in its home country. Wonder if/when local Dr. Koto will reach an equivalent sales milestone?

More previews after the release list.

Mangazines: Shonen Magz 8/2011 and Shonen Star 14/2011

Fairy Tail's Elsa (Erza) and Natsu headline the latest Shonen Magz, albeit BECK's guitarist/singer Koyuki part-times as cover boy. Meanwhile, Idamaria is Shonen Star 14's cover exorcist nun because Defense Devil is apparently not content with just the volume 5 release this street date.
