Pandora Hearts 15, Kungfu Boy 8 Premium, Kome Si Belang 4 (Elex Media 14 December 2011 manga) [UPDATED]

Added missing synopses

And for you Emil Chronicle Online gamers out there, the manga premiere you've been waiting for — Delta Saga.

Delta Saga 1 (Elex Media)

Emile Chronicle Online Gaiden Delta Saga © Tsutsumi Aya, Broccoli · GungHo Online entertainment, Inc. · Headlock Inc. Published by Flex Comix (Softbank Creative)
Published in Indonesia as Emile Chronicle Online Delta Saga by Elex Media

Revenge drives Delta, one of the few survivors of a village massacre, to hunt down who orchestrated the attack. The quest to avenge Delta's loved ones has begun...

To ECO players, the Delta Saga manga won't be a total stranger like the guy who wiped out Delta's hometown. So let me pose this question to you: how game-faithful is the manga? (The Japanese blurb I found warns about this.)

Other Tsutsumi Aya manga
If you want titles beyond Delta Saga, toggle this link; I don't want to keep peeps drooling for the latest Pandora Hearts waiting.

Tsutsumi Aya is also credited with the shounen romance comedy Akuma de Moteru xxx, currently serialized in Jive's Comic Rush (two CR COMICS volumes per 2011.08), 12C -Twelve Crysis- (running in Enterbrain's Famitsu Comic Clear; two volumes as of 2011.02), the ongoing shoujo series Kosu*puri!, written by Hamada Shouko (two Flex Comix Flare volumes between 2009.09 and 2010.03) and the shoujo fantasy/romance Love Root Zero (five Fairbell Comics volumes from 2007.09 to 2010.02).

Tsutsumi Aya collaborated with Takemura Youhei in I-Revo -Ice Revolution-, first serialized in Jump SQ (three of three Jump Comics tankou published between 2009.03 and 2009.11).

Most recently (as in fresh from the press) is the game strategy guide, Monhan-mochi ga dekimasen. “Monsutāhantā” Purei Manga, published by Enterbrain that streeted in Japan just last Friday (9 December).

Pandora Hearts vol 15 of 16+
By Mochizuki Jun

A sinful soul trapped in the darkness of Sabrie seeks redemption in a contract with Humpty Dumpty. After realizing the truth hidden behind uncertainty, the master follows the dictates of conscience. This all to save a soul...

Yup, Elex went literary on us again with the Pandora Hearts 15 preview. So let me quote what Pandora Hearts Wiki sez about this volume:

As Elliot regains his true memories by rejecting Humpty Dumpty as his Chain, Isla Yura's attempt to recreate the Tragedy of Sablier comes to it's climax. The mystery of the The Head Hunter unfolds...

Pandora Hearts 15 compiles Retrace LVIII through LXI: Puddle of blood, Couldn't Put Humpty Together Again, Egg Shell and Demios. [Not Elex's chapter titles] The latest chapter bound in a tankou is Retrace LXV: Collapse, collected in volume 16 (streeted in Japan 2011.11.26).

Mangazines: Shonen Magz 12/2011: Tokkyu! and Fairy Tail

Shonen Magz 12/2011 - FC: Fairy Tail

Fairy Tail © Mashima Hiro
Kodansha
[Weekly Shonen Magazine]

Erza (Elsa), Natsu and Jellal (Gerald) from Mashima Hiro's Fairy Tail strut their stuff on the cover of the latest Shonen Magz, but Komori Yoichi- & Kubo Mitsuro's elite SAR team Tokkyu! grabs the featured series spotlight:

Just as Hyogo's relationship with Yuri (remember her?) looks like it's actually going somewhere, a strong earthquake rocks Indonesia, and Hyogo is dispatched to Jakarta!

Needless to say, this assignment is not usual Hyogo fare, but the split-up? Let's just say fate wants Hyogo to get used to separation. .:straight face:.

In addition to Fairy Tail and Tokkyu!, these serials also continue: BECK by Harold Sakuishi, Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE by CLAMP, School Rumble by Kobayashi Jin, Code:Breaker by Kamijyo Akimine, Ghost's Doctor by Sato Yuki, Blazer Drive by Kishimoto Seishi, Kungfu Boy Legends by Maekawa Takeshi, Vinland Saga by Yukimura Makoto and Ninja Clan by Shigahaku.

Collecting any of the above series? Reminding the latest tankou releases: Kungfu Boy Legends volume 10 and BECK 29 (released 2011.11.30), Ghost's Doctor 8 (10.12), Fairy Tail 11 and Vinland Saga 7 (9.19), Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle 17 (2010.10.27), Tokkyu! 15 (2010.10.06) and School Rumble 11 (2010.06.16).

Dragon's Fiancé 1 (Elex Media)

Ryuu no Hanawazurai © Kusakawa Nari/Hakusensha
[First serialized in LaLa]
Published in Indonesia as Dragon's Fiancé by Elex Media

Shakuya got into "marriage politics" early, but almost as soon as, lost her fiancé Lushin Rakka to a sandstorm. Now Shakuya is engaged to Kwan and she's not complainin' except...Lushin chooses this time to reappear to wrest back his fiancée!

That's Elex's summary for Kusakawa Nari's Dragon's Fiancé. Let me continue with the one I wrote when I reviewed Ryuu no Hanawazurai's serial debut in (now defunct) HanaLaLa mangazine:

The amnesiac Lushin succeeds in returning to his hometown, guided by the clue of the rose tattoo on his hand, a tattoo that marks him as the rightful fiancé of Shakuya—who bears the tattoo's magical twin on her right hand. Following his presumed death, Lushin's engagement to Shakuya was dissolved, his position replaced by Kwan who (unlike Lushin when he was younger) is apparently the only person capable of keeping his cool even when the power of Shakuya's emotions force her into dragon mode. Shakuya professes to like Kwan more; the five gentian tattoos on her left hand versus the one rose tattoo on her right for Lushin prove this (the more the tattoos, the greater the supposed affection Shakuya holds for the tattoo's "owner"). Her honesty, however, only spurs to Lushin confess that he likes Shakuya.

To settle the matter of two bridegrooms, the mate capable of making more of his tattoos bloom on Shakuya's hand after a year will become her husband.

If you're interested in what I had to say back then (especially about Shakuya's Lushin tattoos), go here »Dragon's Fiancé, A love triangle decided by who's got more tattoos.

Dragon's Fiancé debuted in the Indonesian Hana to Yume and LaLa in 2008. It serialized until chapter 26 (compiled in RyuuHana volume 5) and is prolly one of the most-missed HanaLaLa serials after the magazine was axed last December. The English Two Flowers for the Dragon fared not much better: CMX Manga managed only six volumes (of seven) before the company folded. But as Elex recommends collecting the manga because it doesn't span that many volumes, I think it's safe to say that Dragon's Fiancé won't suffer Two Flowers's fate and emerge like Tong Li's traditional Chinese version, the 龍族花印記 volume 7 of which released January 2010.

As for the Vietnamese Gia tộc rồng — Aki Shichiban-san? Care to help me out with the name of the publisher and how many volumes? Thank you~ :) »Edit: Seven volumes published by Kim Dong; Sankyuu, Aki Shichiban-san, for the info ^^

In case you missed it, it is Shakuya, not her fiancés; who is the titular dragon. Yup, whenever Shakuya gets upset, she turns into a fearsome dragon.

The other premiere generating a lot of buzz is —

Chunchu by Kim SungJae & Kim ByungJin

Chunchu 1 (Elex Media)

Chunchu © Kim SungJae
& Kim ByungJin/Haksan

In a barbarous age, twins are born, one of whom, prophecy says, is the devil's spawn. The parents abandon one child, hoping for his swift death, but the forsaken one lives.

What happens now to the devil's son Chunchu? Well... saved from death by his mother, banished by his people, hunted by his brother, and tortured by the demons within. Living and fighting with a low-born warrior tribe who can never trust him, Chunchu lives a life of blood and violence, every day a struggle to survive. But something mysterious lurks within his cold exterior, something that could be awakened by the touch of a woman. (Thanks, Dark Horse, for teh lowdown on this 2003 Manhwa of the Year awardee [from Chunchu: The Genocide Fiend, Vol. 1 blurb].

Aside from Award-Winning Work, Prophecy, Twins, Baka-Updates Manga users tag ChunChu with the additional Royal Family (that's a hint, gotta be!) and Ssaurabi that Wiki explains is a Modern Korean compound which literally means ‘a father who fights’. Intrigued yet? Let me just warn you though that Chunchu is 15 volumes long, and is on HIATUS.

Other debuts—another manhwa series, Be Good by Kim GiJung & Shin InChol that eludes even Gugel (save for hits pointing to Elex's version), the Crayon Shinchan World Heritage edu-manga Warisan Dunia and the Doraemon Movie Nobita Dalam Dunia Misteri mangafication—are previewed Below the Cut, as are top DO WANT! Ciuman Dewa (Kamisama Hajimemashita) volume 6, Ghost's Doctor (Youkai no Oishasan) 7 and the above-mentioned Kungfu Boy Premium 5.
