Pictures and Wallpaper: Sky Blue Beach 6 of 6, My Own Princess 5, Say Say Say 3 (m&c! 6 July 2011 manga and manhwa) [UPDATED]

Based on the final Sky Blue Beach 6 cover, I'm assuming that Tomo ends up with...

I'm prolly jumping the gun on The End to this seaside romance. Blurb —

The craft show ends in success, and Tomo, too, resolves to tell Riku how she feels. Tento, meanwhile, gets a shot of courage from Tomo's 'fess-up determination and tries to reconcile with his mom. He also confesses his ten-years-in-the-making feelings for Tomo.

Count yourself lucky to live in Indonesia. You get Sky Blue Beach closure, whatever 'ship it may canonize. That's three-fold what English Skyblue Shore readers get, as no other publisher has stepped up (far as I know) to continue Yamada Nanpei's series beyond the volume two released by TOKYOPOP prior to its shut down of American operations.

New m&c! manga: Let Me Kiss You by Shiraishi Yuki ♥

Shogakukan [Sho-Comi]
Published in Indonesia as
Let Me Kiss You by m&c!

Four shorts comprise Let Me Kiss You, originally Shiraishi Yuki's Sono Kuchibiru, Itadakimasu, first serialized in Sho-Comi. The Let Me Kiss You title story follows Poor Girl Sana, targeting Smart Guy Aki for the mole on his lower lip. Why? Because people say a beauty mark on teh kisser means you won't ever have to worry about money. Imagine Sana's shock when she discovers that Aki is equally impoverished. O.o What else is left but to win the school's Best Couple Contest with Aki, for the grand (and droolable) prize of a year's worth of free lunches? [Additions from Intercross's Sono Kuchibiru, Itadakimasu description, excerpted by Baka-Updates Manga]

To preview the other one-shots: the Confessed to the Wrong Guy Don't Say You Love Me! (Sukitte Iccha ×× Nandesu!); the Short Girl/Tall Boy, Bickering Pretend Lovers Parallel Love!! (Narabuna Kiken!!); and the Unexpected Confession This Can't Be Love! (Koi ni Nante Naranai!), follow the link to Baka-Updates Manga.

m&c! already published Shiraishi Yuki's Naughty Boyfriend, Catwalk Romance and Princess Love Secret standalones, as well as the Rival Next Door series. With Let Me Kiss You's premiere, I only have to wait for the Reverse Harem, Animal Transformation, Cat Girls Bokura no Himitsu wo Kyouyuu shiyou ka? (includes the Colorful Shounen to Monochrome na Atashi and Itoshi no Hime-chan one-shots; JP release: 2011.05); the Childhood friends, Tomboy, Twins Love Zipper (2010.11); and the megane, live in lover, tutor Maruoka-san Chi no Kyouikugakari (2010.05). Gee. Stalk much? :P

☂ [RE-STO]: m&c! restocks the complete Shanaou Yoshitsune box sets I advised when Shanaou Yoshitsune Genpei War 13 premiered. (If you only need piecemeal volumes, wait till 13 July when volumes 1 through 10 are individually restocked and/or 20 July for volumes 11 through 16.) Also, some Love is Everywhere manga (ex-m&c!'s Valentine 2011 salvo) reappear, two of which we reviewed and gave a minimum of 8 of 10 ♥. Now's your chance to collect. (I provide links to our reviews.) Omitted from my list the restocked shoujo standalones duplicated in the 20 July schedule (Cold Heart by Hoshimori Yukimo; Moon Love's Secret by Taamo; OMG! by Aoki Kotomi), that I presume were postponed.
