Detektif Conan 63 (Elex Media)

Published in Indonesia as Detektif Conan by Elex Media

Shinichi returns to his original form, but as Haibara's antidote remains strictly experimental, is forced into hiding to wait out the drug's effects.

Later, the Detective Boys have to solve a murder at the Kaitenzushi sushi restaurant, where a customer dies from cyanide poisoning; find out who killed the host of the All-Japan Kojima tournament (a contest in which participants are surnamed Kojima) and bring the mysterious "Silver Witch" to justice.

Wiki points out that the ghost racer Silver Witch, the alleged culprit of a string of accidents on a fog-enshrouded mountain, can apparently drive in the air.

Detektif Conan 63 compiles chapters 653 through 663: My Deduction, Deduction Answer, The Revolving Weapon, Sharpshooting, Whereabouts of the Poison, Pig, Deer, Butterfly, 801 and Shakuhachi and First Class, Truth about the Contest, The Silver-White Witch White FD and The True Identity of the Witch. [*NOT* Elex chapter titles]

If you want the latest chapters available in Indonesia, check out Shonen Star, which serializes Aoyama Gosho's Meitantei Conan (along with other Shonen Sunday stars like Kekkaishi and Wild Life). ShoStar 15/2011 is slated to street on the 18th.

Meanwhile, halfway through the Kaitou Lupin Series —

Arsène Lupin 3 of 5 by Maurice Leblanc and Kazumine Daiji

Years before there was an Arsène Lupin, there were already jewelry thieves. One of the most notorious made off with the so-called Queen's Necklace. No clues were ever found and the case remains unsolved. Until now, when gentleman thief Lupin explains how the heist went down.

Before I preview another case (that the bishieful Host Detectives solve), newbies first.

A Tale of the Cat Painter by Nagao Maru

Long ago in Edo, there lived an artist named Jube...

A Tale of the Cat Painter
by Elex Media

Every day, this young man peddles his ability to paint cats that can scare off mice. (Talk about novel pest eradication.) Of course, he's accompanied by a cat — an invisible one. As Jube goes around Edo, he meets all sorts of people and the cats that deign to live with them.

The exploits of Jube and his yokai cat comrade continue to serialize in the josei Neko Panchi, home of another (corporeal) feline, Kome si Belang. Four Nekoe Juubee Otogi Soushi tankou have been compiled as of 11 April. A unique and funny classic tale, is how Elex describes the series. I'm a dog person myself, but am intrigued enough to try A Tale of the Cat Painter just because of its Edo-jidai setting ^^

★ The other debut also stars a cat, but a very famous (robot) one — Doraemon Movie: The Doraemons - Operasi Besar Serangga Bersemi. Even Elex sez this Doraemon movie mangafication by Fujiko F. Fujio resembles other Doraemon Movie manga Elex has published. So I'm just gonna say that it's based on the 16-minute, 1998-vintage The Doraemons: The Great Operation of Springing Insects; that The Doraemons have to choose one robot insect each if they want to graduate from the Robot School; and that one volume sets you back IDR 24,000.
