Yoroshiku Master © Tsukuba Sakura/Hakusensha (Serialized in LaLa DX)
Published in Indonesia as Hello Master by Elex Media Komputindo
Elex's 22 title-strong 22 September release favorites Tsukuba Sakura manga, what with debuting Hello Master and penultimate Penguin Revolution (volume 6) racking up the DO WANT! points. This despite having to take on heavyweights One Piece (volume 55) and Fairy Tail (volume 7).
(The other LaLa shoujo manga this sked—With My Brothers 8 and the penultimate Beauty Honey (volume 2)—aren't doing too shabbily either.)
Hello Master boasts a fairly novel premise (or if another Santa × Reindeer 'ship lurks out there, I've yet to bump into it). Who doesn't know that Santa Claus goes around delivering presents on Christmas eve, and that reindeer (Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen, Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen, plus point reindeer Rudolph, according to the song) ferry St. Nick's sleigh all over the world on what has got to be the most non-negotiable of all non-negotiable deadlines? What remains hidden is a Santa “clause” provisoing continuity by making the job hereditary, mandating reindeer to search for his (or her?) Santa up to this day.
So, introducing reindeer Kaito who press-gangs Master
Sagara Kurumi into gift courier service, whether she wants to or not.
(I babble about other newbies—the mass-energy equivalence meets Yggdrasil Global Garden by Hiwatari Saki (Please Save My Earth manga-ka) and the fraud victim meets Persian cat Manekineko Real Estate—after the release list.)
Penguin Revolution 6 of 7 by Tsukuba Sakura
“Stairs of Dreams” snaffles the Best Foreign Language Film award at the Monaco film fest, affording Ryo, Ayaori and Fujimaru the chance to fly to the Mediterranean principality. At the hotel, Ayaori finally uncovers (Wholesome Crossdresser) Fujimaru's secret. (Yeah, yeah, you know he would've found out earlier if he weren't Blind Without Glasses.) But the shock pales in comparison with Aya (and Ryo) discovering the identity of the guest star for Peacock's upcoming stage performance.
MANGAZINES: Nakayoshi 84 and Shonen Star 72
Nakayoshi Gress! celebrates six years in the mangazine biz (or so I calculate from Wiki's article), and aside from a sweet
postcard furoku, you get the new Counting Sheep by Moro Orie in anniversary Issue 84. (And according to this source, this NakaGress also contains the Shugo Chara! and Boy Friend finales.)
Meanwhile, no new Shonen Sunday series premieres nor conclusions in Shonen Star 72, so content yourself with cover boy Azuma's and other reigning ShoStars' continuing exploits.
Babble continued behind the fake cut.

Premieres, Part II
Global Garden 1 of 8 by Hiwatari Saki
Let me kick off with the Komikologi blurb first:
Ruika assumes dead brother Masato's identity to stop her distraught mother from further mourning. She starts to reflect on the extent of her “deception” once she meets time traveler Hikaru.
What Elex doesn't tell us (but Wiki does) is that Ruika is the future savior of Yggdrasil, the tree of life compromised by the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings. Albert Einstein, deeply regretting how E = mc² unleashed the power of the atom, triggering Yggdrasil's imminent demise, tries to atone by dispatching two boys into the future to seek The One who can restore Yggdrasil to life.
SC: Manekineko Real Estate by Sorano Sakana
Matsuri's tenant skips out on paying rent, leaving behind only a scrawny cat. After giving the feline a bath and food, however, the cat transforms into a beautiful Persian. The pretty Persian, baptized Kurita, not only prevails on Matsuri's as scary as a yakuza boss into letting it stay at the office, it also attracts more clients!
Doubutsu manga Manekineko Real Estate was first serialized in Shonen Gahosha's Neko Panchi magazine, like “cousins” Vitamin Cat and Shinagawa Cat Story.
