Previously on You Can't Disappear From Me...
Hotaru-chan and Kousuke-kun's cozy chat fizzles from love rectangle interruptus: Hotaru's BFF—who already called dibs on Kousuke-kun—barges in on our “That kiss was no accident!” couple in Hotaru's bedroom.
Will Yukako-chan's mistimed interruption finally convince Hotaru to leave Kousuke-kun alone and renew her All Love is Unrequited focus on Haruna-sensei? That was her original plan anyways. Or can All Love is Unrequited (The Sequel) Kousuke persuade Hotaru to give him, not his older brother, a chance? And what of Yukako? What is she planning? (I can't wait for volume 2! And 3! Which streets 1 September 2010.)
Elsewhere, albeit it took over two years to get here —
The Ghost Conqueror 3 of 8+ by Sakondou Eri
I know you've been waiting for Momozono Yuuki, actually that Peach Boy Momotaro for (ice) ages. Well, wait no more. In the third The Ghost Conqueror alias Momogumi Plus Senki, Obfuscating Ordinary Student-ness Yuuki, who has to defeat monsters lurking at school before his 18th birthday and eternal oblivion catch up to him, finds he's not exempt from prosaic student concerns like midterms. But apparently, Aitan Private School's exams can't be dealt with as easily as chthonic fiends.
NEW M&C! TITLES: Shoujo! ♡
DO WANT!
Out of the blue but to my endless delight, m&c! debuts Oresama Teacher by Tsubaki Izumi. And sasuga Hana to Yume, the shoujo romance comedy features a Strong Female Lead, Lifestyle Change, Delinquent/s, Ex-Delinquent/s, Reverse Harem, Crossdressing, Student-Teacher Relationship
— not to mention teh usual elfin pretty-pretty chara designs. [Thanks, Baka-Updates, for the tags.]
Arrested and consequently expelled, juvie Kurosaki Mafuyu is banished to a countryside high school to reflect on her misdeeds. The “penitent” Mafuyu decides to make herself over into a No gang boss here! high school girl, but her past clings like a blood stain, or a boot camp instructor. Before Mafuyu can even present herself as the new transfer student to her class, she gets into a fight trying to save some random guy from getting his a*se kicked.
Except he's not that random: he's actually Mafuyu's teacher! Oh noes! *swivet* *swivet*
As VIZ Media's Oresama Teacher 1 blurb notes: How can Mafuyu learn to be a girly girl if her teacher won't let her forget her yanki past?
m&c! also lets loose three new Shogakukan shoujo standalones: Devil Boyfriend (Devi-Kare) by Shigano Iori, Moon Light Dream (Tsuki no Waltz) by Mitsuki Kaco and With You at Blue Rose (Kimi to Ao Bara Ryou de) by Washio Mie. Blurbs after the manga list.

New m&c! titles, continued...
Devil Boyfriend by Shigano Iori
Preacher's daughter Shino has a hard time finding a boyfriend because she's taller than most of her prospective leading men. She meets her cute childhood friend Shun, just returned from London, and dives head-first into love. But Shun is hiding a secret?
Shun's secret is given away by the title. Bah.
Devi-Kare was first serialized in ChuChu. Shigano Iori-sensei's other manga include: Kapo~n (>_<)!, Saikyou Help xxx and Oujisama no Iutoori.
Moon Light Dream by Mitsuki Kaco
Heaven dwells on the moon.
Couples Keiichiro and Nariko (Moon Light Dream) and Nozomu and Riho (Let's Meet Again in The Moon) find love perfected in the legendary palace of the moon.
If you want more deets than what m&c! gives in its back cover, go here and here.
Aside from Let's Meet Again in The Moon
(Itsuka no Tsuki de Aimashou) and the antho-christener Moon Light Dream
or Tsuki no Waltz, this omnibus contains two more one-shots: Night with Star and Snow
and For The First Time.
Mitsuki Kaco-sensei also created The First One, but what I really want m&c! to license are Kiss/Hug and Sora Log. (Jasmine-san? You around to fangirl with me?)
With You at Blue Rose by Washio Mie
Kogiku is finally accepted at her dream Tokyo high school, but how come the dorm where she's supposed to stay is overflowing with bishounen??
And bishies are a bad thing?
Washio Mie-sensei is also the manga-ka of My Secret Guy, Love in Trattoria and Kare ga Café ni Iru no nara.
Finales
Panta Pan 2 of 2 by Aomata Pink
Trapped in a forest, Manatsu and friends are attacked by mysterious bacteria. Not only that, a still unidentified killer in their midst plays a deadly game of attrition.
Endgame time, Manatsu and Ran try to save the woods, the city and the future, but salvation demands another sacrifice.
Continuing series
Female Wolf's Boy 3 of 17 by Han YuRang
Without realizing it, Eun Soo grows more enamored with Mister Gang's bishieness, and the pair's unusual behavior invites Ji Hoon's suspicions. Meanwhile, Gyu Hyeon remains powerless to stop Ho Won and pals who now know of Eun Soo's fighting expertise. Will Ho Won's scheme to uncover Eun Soo's secret win out?
Female Wolf's Boy volume 4 is scheduled for a 1 September 2010 release.
Golden Age 11 of 15 by Samukawa Kazuyuki
As the prefectural semi-finals get underway, Kamome Junior High trounces the ferocious Eidai Fujisawa team and advances. But the road to victory remains long; Kamome's next opponent is Kurachi, the team strong enough to actually snub the Junior Youth invite.
How to be a Man 2 of 8 by Yamada Nanpei
Kumiko and Shingo attempt to protect their relationship from age- and height differences attacks. Just as they're putting forward their isshokenmei all, the toughest of rivals appears: Saegusa Goro, Shingo's cousin.
The nine years Shingo's senior Goro strongly resembles Shingo, placing Kumiko—whose heart goes doki-doki every time she sees him—in a big pinch.
Does this mean what we think it means?
This being Shingo and Kumiko's series, prolly not. And just like Female Wolf's Boy 4 (and You Can't Disappear From Me 3), the third How to be a Man ships on the 1st.
Shanaou Yoshitsune Genpei War 5 of 12+ by Sawada Hirofumi
Hyota alias Yoshitsune finally reaches Bandou and reunites with brother Yoritomo. Just as Hyota is preparing to take down Heike, Kinta, an old friend who knows everything about Hyota's past shows up.
The Story of Wang Fenglei Book Five by Tony Wong & Dick Kwong
Wang Fenglei's participation throws the Ginseng School power struggle into chaos, splitting the contest into two camps: the Canon Team made up of the Elder Supreme, Barbarian and Extreme Luo Cha and the Unbeatable Team comprising Dongfang Wudi, Jin Luohan and Wang Fenglei.
Which team will emerge victorious?
Sugar Family 3 of 6 by Hagio Akira

AMERO BDs and KOLONI local comics
Foot 2 Rue: Street Soccer
© Mariolle Cardona
Team Blue's quest to uphold the Street Soccer Code continues in Mariolle & Cardona's Foot 2 Rue: Street Soccer. In volume 3, Tag faces getting thrown out of the game; Tek is hospitalized; and Gabriel can't compete, while in Foot 2 Rue: Street Soccer 4, the Blue Team embarks for Dakar for the finals between the strongest African teams.
Meanwhile, Garudaboi, Pendekar Pentung, om Bajuri, and Intan return in volume 2 of Garudaboi by Galang Tirtakusuma (who also created the action comic Hopper). In the latest comedic Garudaboi outing, super hero 4L4Y is joined by Garudamanly-man and Spidercat-man.
Two KOLONI local comics also debut: Fix-up from Ekyu, the creator of the horror mystery Morte, and Cermin Putih (White Mirror), a collab between Fachreza Octavio and LSS.
Fix-up tells the hilarious story of a bumbling fixer who doesn't live up to the problem solver demi-god stereotype, and instead either makes the city relive one day over and over (sounds like the D.Gray-man intro to exorcist Miranda Lotto) or floods a town (or two) with hamsters.
Cermin Putih on the other hand follows a teddy bear who has mysteriously turned into a human. The komikus muses: What does Teddy think about us?
