Love Button 3, My Life 5 of 5, Crab Kiss 5 (m&c! 10 August 2011 manga and manhwa) [UPDATED]

And new shounen manga and manhua: Spray King 1 by Mikuni Shin and Dewa Iblis Awan Api II N°1 by Tony Wong

Love Button 3 (m&c!)

Kokoro ・ Button © Usami Maki/Shogakukan [Serialized in Betsucomi]
Published in Indonesia as Love Button by Gramedia/m&c!

Updated with m&c!'s artwork and synopses (and just a bit of NikBabble™ :D)

Niina is still trial dating Koga-kun, despite sib's vehement objections and her own sneaking (Shoo! Shoo!) suspicion that there's no Happy Even After. Niina's Ganbarimasu! is (sorta) rewarded when Koga-kun promises to take her to the fireworks festival if/when she gets a minimum of 70 on her mid-terms.

Date-OH!

Will he finally admit that he likes her, too?

Because of Love Button 3, Lina-chan and @MayzMeow are after me to pick up Usami Maki's Naive Female Lead × Tease shoujo manga again. I sooooo hated on the guy, I even forgot his name. But Lina-chan sez Koga-kun gets his ‘just desserts’ (plus Usami-sensei introes a megane bishie), while May-chan actually wubs Nina's naiveté, the cute puppy love and assures me that things have gotten brighter. Anyone else wanna try persuading me?

This Love Button tank also contains an extra story.

My Life 5 of 5 by Momochi Reiko

"I won't seek revenge by killing Gotouda; instead I will..."

The DVD chronicling Kotori's last moments reveals that Gotouda and Murase are one and the same person. But as the retrial appeal hits a wall, Nobara resolves to take matters into her own hands. She confronts Gotouda, but Yuuwa shows up and...

What vengeance will Nobara ultimately wreak upon her twin's murderer? Sate your curiosity and see how Nobara regains her life in the last My Life.

While Lina-chan ups her rating of the finale to a 7 of 10, she's still not convinced to actually collect the five-volume series. (She rated My Life 3 a 6/10 and suggests it as strictly a Rent.)

New m&c! titles

As noted above, m&c! rolls out Spray King 1 by Mikuni Shin and the continuation to Tony Wong's Dewa Iblis Awan ApiDewa Iblis Awan Api II—the premiere cover of which is ab-so-lute-ly terrifying! (features the Devil Mask that stars in the Misteri Topeng Iblis subtitle). I preview the Graffiti! Spray King after the cut.
