Gerald's true objective is revealed: to revive Zelf, history's greatest and most malevolent dark wizard. Gerald orders the assassination guild "Trinity Raven" to stop Elsa and the others from interfering with his grand plan. Elsewhere, the Magic Council greenlights deploying Etherion against the Tower of Heaven and Gerald, even at the cost of the lives of the Fairy Tail mages still in the tower.
Can the magical weapon of destruction foil Gerald's scheme, or will Gerald succeed in bringing back Zelf first?

Hyde & Closer 7 of 7 by Aso Haro
The "Man at the Window" dispatches acolytes Ronove, who possesses the power to change anything into wax, and Asmodai who can leech animal powers, to prevent Shunpei from meeting Kokkuri.

Arakure - The Wild Ones
by Elex Media
After her mother's death, Wakamura Sachie is taken in by her grandfather. Her worst fears are realized when her mother's former home turns out to be a yakuza clan's headquarters!
As the only grandchild of a yakuza boss, Sachie is assigned a protector from the gang ranks — Igarashi Rakuto. But also grandpa adoptee Igarashi is no normal delinquent; he's actually the beloved student council president of Sachie's new school!
No one at school knows about Rakuto's hidden life, and soon Sachie finds herself falling for her bodyguard. But she's the granddaughter of Rakuto's boss, and he can never show his feelings for her.
That quote from VIZ Media's Wild Ones, Vol. 1 description just ups the romantic stakes into delish ^^
So, Poor Boy/Rich Girl—a princely yakuza ward bodyguards an orphaned Strong Female Lead—but did you know that we can also look forward to First Loves and Love Triangles in this ex-Hana to Yume shoujo manga? Well, we can ^^
Arakure - The Wild Ones, the most romantic, breathtaking story ever and I kid you not, as I sed back in 2008, debuted in HanaLaLa #22/2008 and before that Indonesian HanaYume/LaLa was discontinued, managed to reach chapter 35, compiled in volume 7. The series is collected in 10 volumes, the last released in Japan in April 2009.
CMIIW but I believe that Arakure is the first Fujiwara Kiyo manga licensed for Indonesia. [Continued after the release list.]
