Sugar Family 6 of 6, Gunslinger Girl 12, Ugly Duckling Become Swan 10 (m&c! 13 April 2011 manga and manhwa) [UPDATED]

Top DO WANT!s of this seriously manhwa m&c! release are both manga. Go figure. (Keeping my promise to Kia-chan and Cyan-san to not just list releases.)

“I can't always be your little sister.”

Yuka's heart wavers over Taichi's closeness to his “new little sister,” even as Arata presses Yuka to choose between him and her step-brother. Yuka picks...

Yup, the last volume 6 of the sibcestuous Sugar Family #loveComplexity streets this week. Don't imitate me, forgetting to GET! because of drooling over the new Hwang MiRee manhwa. (More on this below.)

But before the fluffy manhwa attack (that prompted tweep freakenari-san to tell m&c!: Just run your sword through me now!), let's detour to a manga rife with vengeance, blood and other dark things:

Gunslinger Girl 12 of 13+ by Aida Yu

The Croce Incident continues to haunt Gian and Giose. The brothers' hatred peaks when the affair's mastermind returns and obliterates two SWA cyborgs. Revenge takes a temporary back seat as Giose faces a nodus of clashing interests: save cyborg assassin Henrietta, bleeding to death on the battlefront, or allow her to rest in peace... forever.

Gunslinger Girl 12 compiles chapters 67 through 73: A New Family, The Croce Affair (Parts 1-4), Fantasma (Part 2) and Addio. [*NOT m&c!'s titles] Let's hope m&c! doesn't take the same amount of time the Japanese publisher did to release volume 13 (one full year).

I double feature ♥ Ugly Duckling Become Swan 10 and the ♥ penultimate Sandwich Girl (volume 7) Below the Cut to intro the promised debuts, the culprits of the Sugar Family sin of omission.

m&c! new manhwa

Crab Kiss 1 and Say Say Say 1 (m&c!)

Crab Kiss and Say Say Say © Hwang MiRee/Samyang

NOT (yet) Crazy Girl Shin Bia series from Hwang MiRee (that's still upcoming). For now we get the Secret Kiss Crab Kiss and Radio Love Triangle Say Say Say—plus the Elite School Romance Idol's Love Story, the latter from Han YuRang, who, like HMR, can crank out 72 series (and counting) because of a gaggle of assistants.

Say Say Say is the story of Yun Say, a high school girl who streams radio broadcasts from home, and her true-blue listener, Timeless. Yun Say is convinced she will someday meet Timeless face to face, but fate messes up her plans — throwing at Yun Say two bishies who exemplify polarity: cute and sweet En Jun Hwi × handsome and arrogant Seo Young Won. (I already know who I favorite.)

The Say Say Say romance promises complexity as only HMR can craft it, if the Radio Show, Friends Become Lovers, Friends Betrayal, Cool Male Lead, Boy Band tags Baka-Updates users append to this soonjung manhwa are any indication. [Moar previews and NikBabble© after the release list.]

☂, II Similar to last week, the restocked [RE-STO] shoujo manga overwhelm the STO/Standing Order, a trend that maintains till the 20 April release as m&c! apparently spring-cleans. But unlike last or next week, the 4.13 holdovers count Psychic Detective Yakumo (Shinrei Tantei Yakumo - Akai Hitomi wa Shitteiru) 1 and 2 by Miyako Ritsu & Kaminaga Manabu among the escapees.
