Spiral: Suiri no Kizuna © Shirodaira Kyo & Mizuno Eita
Square Enix [First serialized in Shonen Gangan]
Published in Indonesia as Spiral: The Bonds of Reason by Elex Media
As Spiral: The Bonds of Reason approaches climax, Hizumi can barely believe that Ayumu refuses to kill him, even as Hizumi readies for another fire fight. What's worse, Ayumu makes Hizumi realize that he is now alone. Hopes dashed, a desperate Hizumi leaps off a building...
Will Hizumi live? Or!?
As for Ayumu and Kiyotaka, Ayumu certainly intends to meet his brother, but will he face Kiyotaka in the name of defiant hope - or broken surrender?
[Quoted from Yen Press' Spiral: The Bonds of Reasoning, Vol. 15 description]
I still haven't found what I'm looking for.
You know wat to do if you want to know how this boy detective story pans out. (*whispers* The key word is: touching.

New Elex manga
Elex launches a shounen manga pair currently serializing in Gessan (Monthly Shonen Sunday): Q and A by Adachi Mitsuru (that you already saw in the post title) and Lindbergh by Ahndongshik, originally slated to debut last month. I preview the story of youth and bonds
Q and A and I believe I can fly Lindbergh below the release list.
Gessan, alternatively known as Get the Sun, is kinda like Jump Square in that it targets readers in their late teens to early twenties.
(Thanks, Wiki.)
☆ Speaking of mangazines belonging to the Shonen Sunday family, the Indonesian version, Shonen Star, streets its Issue 18/2011 today, too. [Continued after the release list]
