Topeng Kaca 10 Deluxe, Spiral: The Bonds of Reason 12, My First Mr. Akuno 4 (Elex Media 20 April 2011 manga) [UPDATE3]

Revised (again) to take out Kariage kun 41 and move it to the 27 April list. (Thanks for the amend, @Nia-san.)

“Just a List” mutates...into so much NikBabble™, starting with the First Runner-up lead — Spiral: The Bonds of Reason 12, because, well, Hizumi!

Discharged from the hospital, Ayumu comes home to find to Hizumi shacked up with him and Madoka. What's worse, Madoka actually seems to welcome the guy!

What's going to happen now to Ayumu's resolve to lift the Blade Children's curse by eliminating Hizumi?

Spiral volume 12 spans chapters 57 to 61: The Two Faces of the Future, The Doors of His Face, the Lamps of His Mouth, The Weirdness of Them Being Here, And What I Was Afraid of Became Worse and Walking Beneath the Days [*NOT Elex Media's titles].

Little back story in case you've only watched the anime: Hizumi (Mizushiro Hizumi) is a manga-only character and just like the Blade Children, is a desperate and lonely child who knows only despair. (Thanks, Wikipedia.) Hizumi's seeming innocence makes him resemble Kanone, and he is Ayumu's polar opposite.

As for the top manga DO WANT! —

Topeng Kaca 10 Deluxe by Miuchi Suzue

Devastated by her mother's death, Maya becomes easy prey for Norie who succeeds in sidelining Maya from the Shangri-La premiere and replacing her for the part. Maya's downfall as a TV star seems inevitable, but Mayu's rival Ayumi is having none of it and vows to avenge Maya.

Mangazine: Shonen Star 7/2011 ☆ Kekkaishi by Tanabe Yellow

Shonen Star 7/2011 - FC: Kekkaishi

[Shonen Sunday]

The latest Shonen Star installment of Tanabe Yellow's Kekkaishi has Yoshimori going one-on-one against a most dangerous adversary. Mudou, after wounding deity Tanyu, shatters Yoshimori's battle determination not once but multiple times, forcing Masamori to save the day with his zekkai.

If you're wondering when you'll see this Kekkaishi chapter—likely 157: Mudo—in tankou, you'll have to wait till volume 17. (Elex has only kai'd up to tank 4.)

Shonen Star 7 also premieres Appearance of the Yellow Dragon (Yellow Dragon ga Arawareta!) by Tamura Mitsuhisa. The World Domination Gone Wrong comedy from the manga-ka of Bakegyamon prolly replaces Inoue Kazurou's time-hoppin' Magical Iroha (but please confirm that for yourself).

My First Mr. Akuno volume 4 and Detektif Conan Seri Animasi TV 25 also street on 4.20.

For sure, these other ex-Shonen Sunday manga continue their Indonesian serial runs: ARAGO by Arai Takahiro; Defense Devil by Youn InWan & Yang KyungIl (volume 3 released 4.13); Detektif Conan by Aoyama Gosho (volume 60 released 3.16); D-LIVE!! by Minagawa Ryouji; Dr. Koto by Yamada Takatoshi (volume 4 released 3.02); Inuyasha by Takahashi Rumiko (volume 51 released 3.09); My First Mr. Akuno by Fujiki Syun; Takkoku!!! by Fukuchi Tsubasa; Wild Life by Fujisaki Masato (volume 15 released 4.06); and Yakitate!! Japan by Hashiguchi Takashi (volume 20 released 2.23).
