Aside from Aikawa Saki's Teacher Confesses to His Student Secret Kiss (that is NOT my favorite story in this antho, it's Your Love), Chocolate Magic premieres, the first in Mizuho Rino's Shokora no Mahou series (succeeding volumes are Shokora no Mahou ~Bittersweet~, Shokora no Mahou ~Creamy Sugar~ and Shokora no Mahou ~Dark Spice~). The Ciao horror series has been so successful, it even got an anime-adapt, Chocolat no Mahou: Meringue au Chocolat Kanashimi no Senritsu. If you're wondering who is Mizuho Rino-sensei » Takoyaki Princess.

m&c! also rolls out Ijime - If I Have Enough Courage or Ijime - Yuuki wo kudasai, the fourth in Igarashi Kaoru's best-selling Bullying! series (although no anime (yet), just light novels). If you lurve the Ijime universe (O.o), you'll have to wait a bit, maybe more, for the next Ijime - Shizuka na Kangoku, because even in Japan that Ijime - A Silent Prison volume only streets 1st September.

Moar newbies: Doctor's Gentle Love and Honey Love Dandy Teachers, both from Kawamaru Shin (manga-ka of Doctor's Naughty Kiss and Glasses Boys' Fans Club); Honey Love by Yagami Rina (My Beautiful Model); Invincible Lover by Konno Risa (I Love You, Sensei!); Lovely Lesson - Hair Make Episode, the last volume of Sakisaka Mea's Lovely Lesson makeover series; Ultra Z Class by Kosaka Mariko (Powerful Cheers!!); and A Witch Who Looks For Love by Kumaki Eri (Love is Sweet ♥).

Previews after the release list.

The rest of the new shoujo manga debut in Cherry mangazine, Issue 56/2011: Sweet Dog's Stories by Hotta Atsuko that I think was originally Tengoku no Inu Monogatari (ex-ChuChu; Japan tankoubon release: 2004.11) and My Mysterious Neighbor by Nakajima Yuka, possibly Ciao's 2010-vintage Tonari no Obake-san (JP tankou: 2011.02). Also (I'm not sure), the local KOLONI comic, Sang Sayur by S Y S.

Hotta Atsuko is primarily known for the Tengoku no Inu Monogatari collection of doggie one-shots (six volumes so far, the latest Zutto, Zutto Issho ni per April 2011) , but Nakajima Yuka is also credited with the three-volume Waratte Himiko-san (published by m&c! as Smile, Himiko!) and Kirakira Hikare AKA Sparkling Charm. Her latest is Kokoro Curtain (JP release: 2011.07.29). S Y S, meanwhile, created Sejejak Mimpi: Romantika Odong-odong.

Unless Cherry finished off the three one-shots in Ichikawa Show's I Love Dog and You in Issue 55, that should still appear in this issue. I also assume that Always by Your Side by Nakamura Sayumi, Dawn Aria by Akaishi Michiyo, I am not a Maid! by Iwaoka Meme, My Lovely Class Leader ♥ by Nishimura Tomoko and Yomogi Loves Money? by Arai Kiyoko are still serializing. Telor Ceplok reader Lidya-san commented last month that Nanajima Kana's 7 Centi! wasn't finished yet, so perhaps we'll see its return in this issue, too. (Also, Lidya-san? Would you know which manga is on the cover? Thanks in advance ^^)
