Namida Usagi 4, Love Button 4, My Clumsy Boy 1 and 2 by Kumaoka Fuyu (m&c! 22 September 2011 manga) [UPDATED]

Will replace with m&c! artwork when I luck on a big enuf cover. » Done but Moa remains on the cover of NamiUsa :P

Namida Usagi ~Tears of First Love~ 4 (m&c!)

Published in Indonesia as Namida Usagi ~Tears of First Love~ by Gramedia/m&c!

I don't remember this Namida Usagi cover girl—Narumi's girlfriend?—but whoever she is, she and her Innocence Not! don't figure in m&c!'s volume 4 preview:

Knowing that her love is destined for nowhere, Momoka tells Narumi that she wants to stop being his friend. Narumi's answer: he kisses her and then asks her to meet him the next day. Confession?? But when Momoka keeps their appointment, who should be waiting for her but...Amano.

Momoka ping-ponging between Narumi and Amano looks to continue, what with Namida Usagi ~Seifuku no Kataomoi~ logging eight volumes by 26 October, with no indications of wrapping up. (If you know otherwise, do leave a comment ^^)

‘Kiss’ also seems to be The Word in the other m&c! DO WANT!

Love Button 4 of 6+ by Usami Maki

Niina is shaken after hearing that Koga-kun once kissed his cousin Mirei, even though he claims it was a kiss without feelings. And as if challenging her to spot the difference, Koga-kun kisses Niina. But in her confusion, she scampers away and ever since that precipitous (cowardly) escape — Niina can't quit thinking about the kiss. What did Koga-kun mean?

Your mileage may vary, but that preview above is NOT guaranteed to make me give Love Button another chance, Usami Maki manga or no. :P I ab-so-lute-ly can't stand Niina, and Koga-kun doesn't endear himself to me either. (I'm with the Kisses are always significant camp.)

Kokoro · Button's latest release in Japan is volume 6, scheduled to street this 26 September. Can anyone confirm that this isn't the last tankou? (Amazon Japan has no synopsis.) Thanks~

New m&c! manga

One one-shot tankou ASSASSINS by Satogane Shou, a new ice hockey series, Eighty Eight by Namiki Hiromi, and the double-launch of My Clumsy Boy by Kumaoka Fuyu. Featuring ASSASSINS Above the Cut, so look for the other debuts below the release list.

ASSASSINS (m&c!)

ASSASSINS

Mag Garden
[Blade Comics]

How does it feel to be held captive by a city closed off from contact, and the only way out is to fight to the death for egress?

Crack shot Asakura is trapped along with female assassin Sahara and several other hardened killers. Who among them will succeed in escaping? Also, who is behind the deadly confinement?

Other Satogane Shou manga
I'm pretty sure ASSASSINS is the first Satogane Shou manga to be licensed in Indonesia. I mean, can anyone tell me if Death God4, first serialized in Mag Garden's Comic Blade Masamune and collected into two tankou between May and November 2007 ever released here? Same question for the ex-Comic Blade Avarus shoujo manga Noble Savage (two volumes released in Japan in 2010.03 and 2010.10).

Definitely Dainashi, still ongoing Comic Avarus serialization hasn't registered yet on the radar, and it's still racking up tankou (volume 1 released 2011.02 in Japan, volume 2 by 2011.09.15).
