Walking in on a burglary, freight company president Yoshimitsu Ryozo is bludgeoned unconscious in Two Suspects,
half of the mysteries comprising Q.E.D. volume 35, streeting this Wednesday. Police suspect two Yoshimitsu employees: Mikawa Saburo who has racked up a formidable medical bill for his wife's hospital treatment and Kurose Yasumasa, up to his neck in gambling debts. Which of the two suspects will math wunderkind Toma Q.E.D. as the perp?
Christmas present,
the second, more light-hearted story, has the school drama club getting some unlooked-for help staging its play from the mystery club.
And that's the lowdown to the 35th Q.E.D., this Elex sked's top manga Do Want! (Sankyuu～ to the Japanese Wiki for the Christmas present
summary.) Babble for runners-up Skip Beat! 17 and Hell Girl 7 are after the manga list.
NEW ELEX TITLES: Animal Doctor and Ogawa and Team Saito
You have a choice of two shoujo comedies. Will you take Veterinarian, dogs, pets
or Weak Female Lead, Unpopular Girl, Reverse Harem, scientist
? The first gets you Animal Doctor by Sasaki Noriko, the second, Ogawa and Team Saito by Sakyo. [Thanks to Baka-Updates Manga for the Doubutsu no Oishasan and Ogawa to Yukai na Saitoutachi tags.] I prefer From sticking an arm into a cow to check its internals, to fighting over which laboratory equipment to buy, to the territorial battles between chickens ... Doubutsu has it!
former. (Was converted by Rei-san's Sasaki Noriko's Wry, Humorous Veterinary Student Manga
review.)
But I'm getting ahead of myself. Elex blurb first —
Animal Doctor 1 of 12 by Sasaki Noriko
Since meeting Professor Urushihara, Nishine Masaki's life has turned 180 degrees, taking him from forced care of a very peculiar Siberian Husky to life as a vet med student. With pals Nikaido and Hishinuma-senpai, Masaki goes through days of pure win(some).
Elex supplies no summary for Ogawa and Team Saito, probably assuming we already know it from its Nakayoshi Gress! stint. But for those still in the dark —
Ogawa and Team Saito 1 of 7+ by Sakyo
One fine day, Doormat Ogawa cracks under the pressure of constant bullying and lashes out at the “Three Feared Saito,” the school's Bad Boys. Instead of “Don't hit meeeh!!” *cower* retaliation, however, Ogawa ends up under the protection of the newly formed “Team Saito.” Does this spell an end to Ogawa's days as a victim? Or did her life just bank a sharp right to hijinks? [Adapted from Nagareboshi Manga's description, excerpted by Baka-Updates Manga]
I don't know about you, but this series sorta reminds me of BxB Brothers and/or Ah, Dear Banchou.

Nakayoshi Lovely 8: Apple
Nakayoshi Lovely 8: Apple
(Kodansha)
Among the romantic one-shots Elex went through the trouble of blurbing to hype Nakayoshi Lovely 8 are:
When it Snows by Mizukami Wataru
Miyuki dreams of one day meeting her Prince Charming and having her first kiss under a sprinkling of snow flakes. Her sights lock on Hyodo Yudai—the school's number one idol—as potential prince.
But forget about approaching Yudai; Miyuki is dissed by Zenji who discovers her love letter and criticizes her missive as sounding too much like a letter of challenge. Veins start popping on Miyuki's forehead, but with Zenji right, she takes the setback as a chance; she pressures Zenji, Yudai's close friend, to make her over as a princess fit for Yudai.
What will happen when Miyuki is finally ready to confess her feelings to her prince?
Mizukami Wataru-sensei is also the manga-ka of the ongoing, Boys Rhythmic Gymnastics-troped Tumbling and the split-personalitied shoujo romance Megane Ouji, released here as Pangeran Kacamata.
Fall in Love Song by Sakuya Ippo
Music lovers both, Hatsune and Rakutaro have been friends since they were kids. But by middle school, they separate, with Hatsune joining the music club and Rakutaro applying to the cooking club. The gap further widens as the pair's graduation looms. Rakutaro chooses a school that's not even on Hatsune's short list. This despite Rakutaro's once upon a time wish that they both attend the same senior high.
Hatsune accepts Rakutaro's decision, but her heart remains troubled. She gets even more agitated when she sees Rakutaro kissing another girl. Around her heartache, Hatsune thinks: Can we still stay friends?
Long Half Time by Arisawa Ryo
Aya's hospitalization for a leg injury bars her from competing in a very important soccer match. She becomes so depressed that she decides to quit playing altogether. Her meeting Toma, a fellow soccer fan the same age as her, makes her rethink her gloomy decision. For unlike Aya, Toma is all smiles, and doesn't look at all look like he should be in a hospital. He doesn't even sport a cast.
Toma's cheer rubs off on Aya, big-time, but what will happen when she finds out why Toma is in the hospital in the first place?
Arisawa Ryo (or Ryou) also created the Dolphin Blue shoujo slice of life, as well as illustrating the Harlequin Futari no Roku Shuukan manga, based on Debbie Macomber's series romance The Apartment.
Moonlight Talk by Shirasawa Marimo
Chitose and two friends vacation at a beach resort, but her BFFs left out telling Chitose they've also invited three boys from their school to join them, including Chitose's crush Izumi. So now 'fraidy cat Chitose—who doesn't even have the guts to approach Izumi, let alone talk to him—doesn't know how to act in front of Izumi. So awkward is she that she flubs her “Thank you” and antagonizes the boy she likes.
Saddened, Chitose takes herself off for some soul-searching while gazing at a whale-shaped island in the distance. When it's time for her to return, however, she finds the tide has already risen, and the rocks she stepped on submerged by sea water. She slips as she tries to make her way back, and surprise, surprise! Izumi saves her. But not for long. The pair are swept away to Whale Island and now have to spend the night together!
Shirasawa Marimo's other manga include another school life romance, Yumemiru Angel Blue, and the omnibus Manatsu no Rakuen.
Sweet Darling by Miyabi Suzu
Misato adores sweet stuff, especially cakes baked by her boyfriend Toma. You'd never find her saying “No” to anything her beloved makes. But when Misato finds out that Toma's family runs a café where his older sisters and mom work as waitstaff, she is struck down by an inferiority complex. She feels even more third-rate when she learns that Toma's sister models a very popular lipstick brand. Her discovery launches Misato on the strictest of diets, prompting her to snub even Toma's cakes. But Toma takes Misato's “rejection” the wrong way!
There are supposedly moar stories, but you'll have GET! NakaLovely 8 to find out. (Subjecting the When it Snows
cover to squint mode »ON!, I make out the unblurbed Love Brigade.)
Shonen Star 71/2010 ☆ My First Mr. Akuno
Fujiki Syun's self-proclaimed mad scientist My First Mr. Akuno snaps up Shonen Star 71's cover and featured manga spot:
