Update: Tweaked here and there because I can :D
Kurosaki! Narumi! SeRyun?! (Yeah, I prefer Hwang SeRyun over Seo GaYoon :P)

Teru emails Kurosaki, telling him to get lost. Kurosaki complies, but not before leaving Teru a message admitting that he killed Souichirou. Disbelieving, Teru pleads to hear about Kurosaki's "sin."
So in the latest Electric Daisy, we're finally treated to Kurosaki's backstory: why he became a hacker and the real deal behind Teru's brother's so-called murder. This particular volume is also responsible for (at least in Japan, 7net tells me) Dengeki Daisy sales topping a million copies.
(100 (hyaku)-man = one million, ne?) Wonder how many m&c! has sold?
Going by the Japanese blurb again, this tank apparently includes the previously unreleased one-shot, Akira & Kurosaki Love-Love Shot.
Will confirm once I have volume 8 in my greedy hands. »Edit Most likely misread Gugel's translation because the last File 39 is Daisy's Birth Day
and what follows are end notes and a volume 9 preview. Unless it's one of the intervening chapters? Oh, well. *shrugs*
As if a new Electric Daisy weren't already such munificence, m&c! also reissues Motomi Kyousuke's Love Arrow, a shoujo manga fave 'round these parts, wubbed to the tune of 9.5 of 10 ♥. (If that isn't an exhortation to GET! I don't know what is. xD) Neway, more on manga new print runs below. For now... (I know you're (also) waiting for this.)
Namida Usagi -Tears of First Love- 2 of 7+ by Minase Ai
How many tears must I shed for you to consider me special?
Momoka couldn't be more surprised nor happier; Narumi shows up at the opening day ceremony. They're even classmates again. But the new Narumi has shed his gloomy geekness, much to the squeeing approval of the school's female cohort. Additionally, he and Momoko are no longer seatmates.
Can Momoko do anything to reduce the gap widening between herself and Narumi?
Kyaaa~ The Namida Usagi emotional stakes just went up-up-UP! with this Promised Angst xDDD. Can't wait to GET! volume two >.< What, you didn't get Namida Usagi 1 last January? Then I suggest snaffling a copy, restocked along with volume 2. This Minase Ai series is Pure Adowable!
New m&c! titles
m&c! launches yet another Tony Wong manhua (only two volumes long)—Chinese Heroes: Sang Legenda—about swordsman Dao Yi Lang who wants to reach the top, no matter what, even if it means leaving wife and kid behind, and Hua Ying Xiong who will do anything to free himself from the Black Dragon's clutches, objections and threats to life be d*mned.
This being my blog, however, My Beautiful Model by Yagami Rina, originally Emperor Limited, gets the Extended NikBabble™ Mix.

My Beautiful Model
by Gramedia/m&c!
People call Kou the "Emperor" of the modeling world. My twin brother Ao so reveres His Majesty, he decides to apply to Kou's modeling agency. But come audition day, Ao falls sick and who else but Big Sis has to sub for him (we look alike anyway).
Unfortunately, the Powers That Be discover I am NOT Ao. Fortunately, they give me a week's grace period, until Ao recovers. Can I survive this one week? More than that, what am I doing ogling Emperor Kou??
Baka-Updates Manga adds Adapted to Kdrama
to My Beautiful Model AKA Koutei Gentei's Crossdressing, Twins, modeling tags. I don't know which drama they mean, but teh internets associates the superficial premise similarity with You're Beautiful. (No, Koutei Gentei is not credited.)
Digression done. This antho comprises two more stories: Your Naughty Eyes
andKiss Kiss Kiss ~ My Little Honey.
[Babble continued after the release list]
And while you can't really call 'em "new"—
New printing in addition to ☂ Restocks
m&c! reissues 3 Colors Signal by Obara Shou, Love Me by Aikawa Saki (both Love Triangled), Magical Sweet Mermaid by Minase Itsuru (which sounds nothing so much as a Little Mermaid retelling), the Wimp Bodyguard St. Valentine's Bodyguard by Takeuchi Masami and the Teacher/Student romance Sweet Words No Love by Fujita Nimi. These aside from Motomi Kyousuke's Love Arrow already noted above and the restocks listed below. (Shanaou Yoshitsune 11-16 or a couple of Love is Everywhere manga rated 8 of 10 ♥, anyone?)
I preview the recurrents after the release list, too, so you know what to do if you want moar babble. (Scroll down :D)
