Culdcept 1 was supposed to join this Elex sked, but looks like it's been postponed to the 23rd. Look for it next week.

[Serialized in Weekly Shonen Magazine]
Published in Indonesia as Ghost's Doctor by Elex Media
Three manga series debut this week: Ghost's Doctor by Sato Yuki, making the jump to tankou from ShoMagz serialization to answer the question: Do yokai have doctors? (In a word, yes); Cynical Kanoko AKA The Secret Notes of Lady Kanoko by Tsujita Ririko, the ex-LaLa DX shoujo manga about a girl who styles herself a people watcher and her descent into (gasp) actual social participation; and Red Haired Anne, Igarashi Yumiko's Akage no Anne mangafication of L.M. Montgomery's classic Anne of Green Gables.
No previews of ongoing series follow, unless RL decides to cut me some slack. Oh, but I would like to remind you that the Kekkaishi anime premieres tomorrow on Animax Asia. Volume 4 of the manga streets the day after.
