Detektif Conan 62 (Elex Media)

Meitantei Conan © Aoyama Gosho/Shogakukan [Serialized in Shonen Sunday]
Published in Indonesia as Detektif Conan by Elex Media

THUD! After waiting for ice ages, Conan finally returns to his real form, that of Kudo Shinichi. But in “growing up,” Shinichi runs into a glitch and...loses his memory? The shocking truth behind it is...?

I guess there's something to the banality that something too good to be true is. Especially as, Wiki adds, the amnesiac Shinichi becomes the prime suspect in an attempted murder.

Elex also promises that Detektif Conan 62 closes the blood-soaked shirt case, as well as discloses the trick to the murder of a female judoka's husband.

Kungfu Boy 3 of 18 (Premium) by Maekawa Takeshi

Chinmi hasn't gone home for a year, prompting Mei Lin to pay her kid brother a visit. Before she can reach Dairin Temple, however, Mei Lin is kidnapped by the Kokuen gang. Chinmi rushes to rescue his sister from the clutches of Zangi, the gang leader specializing in “Inner Power Catapult Kungfu,” but can Chinmi neutralize a power to crush an opponent's abdomen while leaving the body intact?

Shonen Magz 7/2011: The Return of Kungfu Boy Legends

An older Chinmi rejoins Shonen Magz's ranks with the resumption of Maekawa Takeshi's Kungfu Boy Legends in Issue 7/2011. More on this after the release list.
