Durarara 2, Naruto 52, QED 36 (Elex Media 15 June 2011 manga) [UPDATE2: Naruto 52 postponed]

Not only Naruto 52: 7 Seeds 17, Shonen Magz 6 and Crayon Shinchan: Jalan-Jalan Keliling Dunia also didn't street on the 15th. Only Crayon Shinchan's edu-manga, however, got a new street date (6 July 2011).

The hachimaki seems to have worked. NikBabble™ is All Green!

Published in Indonesia by Elex Media

The Headless Rider's past, the Dollars' activities and Stalker Girl's disappearance... Slowly, the Ikebukuro absurdities begin to unfold.

I assume we also get a peek into Heiwajima Shizuo's past, seeing as Ikebukuro's Saikyou no Otoko is the cover of the the hottest most awaited second volume of the high-tension urban fantasy!! (Excerpt, inclusive of double exclamations from the original Japanese Durarara!! blurb.)

Shizuo-chan's appearance in this Elex release edged out the Sasuke and Cell Seven's reunion from the top DO WANT! spot. (They shoulda stayed on the 8th.)

Naruto 52 of 56+ by Kishimoto Masashi: Kelompok Tujuh!! Postponed - no street date advised

Manipulated by the desire for revenge, Sasuke undergoes a drastic transformation. Sakura and Kakashi's words fail to move Sasuke. Naruto comes to the aid of the cornered pair, and Cell Seven reunites!!

New Elex titles

Three standalones debut — Usui Yoshito's Crayon Shinchan: Jalan-Jalan Keliling Dunia or Shinchan Goes Around the World edu-manga (stopping over in Bali, the Great Wall of China, The Taj Mahal and other cultural heritage sites) [Postponed to 6 July], the *Fufufufufu* 4-koma shoujo Go Go Hachiyo! by Kanechiku Junko, bound to delight In a Distant Time fangirls as it dumps the bishie Hachiyou in the kitchen for cooking shenanigans :D and Inoue Kazurou's seinen Undead which poses the question, What if your loved one comes back to life...as a zombie?

Undead (Elex Media)

Shogakukan [Big Comics]

People who die with issues unresolved return as zombies. Only when their desires are fulfilled do their bodies decay and vanish.

The Elex Book Reviews editor dubs this omnibus about the reanimated discontented (which represents a shift from Inoue-sensei's Midori Days or Love & Collage), funny and entertaining, and praises the awesome art. First serialized in Big Comic Spirits (also serialized in the Indonesian Shonen Star), this Zombies, Accident, Assassins, Businessman, Comedian, Dead Lover, Otaku, Rock Star antho compiles 10 episodes: Love of the Dead, Comedian of the Dead (Parts 1 and 2), Study of the Dead, Rock 'n Roll of the Dead, Hitman of the Dead, Father of the Dead, Mania of the Dead and Dawn of the Dead (Parts 1 and 2).
