Also, Dawn of the Arcana 3 and Kyoko Karasuma's Case Files 8 that Imma lead with later when this MinimaList gets the NikBabble™ reboot. «Update: What did I say? :)
Karasuma Kyouko no Jikenbo © Hiroi Ohji & Kozaki Yusuke/Gentosha
[Serialized in Comic BIRZ]
Published in Indonesia as Kyoko Karasuma's Case Files by Elex Media/Level Comics
Leading with Kyoko who looks too totally bad-ass...
After defeating Kano and saving the world, Kyoko searches for the truth about her origins. Her quest takes her to Kyoto, site of the special Oni jail, the Demons' Circle, which serves as the prison for the remaining members of her clan, the Kurogane brothers. Does Kyoko manage to meet Kurogane? For sure she finds unexpected help in Raiko, an Oni hunter toting a huge sword.
[Additions from Taifu Comics' Kyoko Karasuma, Tome 8 synopsis]
Level recommends Kyoko Karasuma as a fun and exciting take on ancient Japanese myths, presented in a series of suspenseful cases
— a story of a future Japanese police force trying to eradicate the evil that hides in plain sight. If you haven't tried out Hiroi Ohji & Kozaki Yusuke's seinen supernatural manga starring a 16y.o. detective, take a look at the value sets on offer. KKCF volumes 1–5 for only IDR 45,000. You can build from that. ^^
Volume 8 compiles chapters 55-63: Goburi, Penjaga Bulan Malam,
Home Town,
Lingkaran Iblis,
Patung Pahlawan,
Kurogane,
Monster yang Dilepas,
Pelarian,
Pasukan Pembunuh Iblis
and Satu Orang Karasuma Lagi.
I don't know what's the latest chapter out in Comic BIRZ nor the most recent chappie collected in latest tankou 9, published in Japan December 2010.
