m&c! also releases volume 3 of the manga-meets-wayang GarudayanaDalang Is Yuniarto's take on the Mahabharata epic. (I refer to the komikus, also the creator of Wind Rider and the Knights of Apocalypse trilogy by the traditional title given puppet masters with utmost May I worship? I will worship respect.)

Excerpting the Indonesian blurb here because, well, it's an Indonesian story, innit?

Pertarungan Gatotkaca melawan sang kakak, Antareja, mencapai puncaknya. Gatotkaca terpaksa mengerahkan tinju Brajamusti untuk menghadapi bentuk Nagarupa Antareja...

New m&c! manga and manhwa

Three series premiere: the psychological drama/tragedy My Life by Momochi Reiko; the Princess × Find x Fiancé My Own Princess by Hwang MiRee; and the Psychic Powers, Secret Organizations, Secret Identity Out Code by Suzuragi Karin & Himenogi Haruhiko. (Not in the mood for what m&c! calls a tear dropper, so you know which one I'll be spotlighting here.)

My Own Princess 1 of 10 by Hwang MiRee

Beautiful, smart, strong but unapproachable On Nuri finds her life upended by sexeh! Lee Sunwoo, couriering a message from a father she's never even known, let alone acknowledged. Bishie confesses to being Nuri's fiancé, an admission Nuri views with suspicion as Sunwoo is (to put it mildly) unlike anyone on the planet.

The Sunwoo × Nuri 'ship soon founders in The Love Triangle as the “alien” Sunwoo isn't Nuri's only husband prospect. And apparently, Princess isn't a metaphor: Nuri's absentee dad rules a secret kingdom, or so sez Loyal Kiss in its Personalized Princess description (excerpted by Baka-Updates Manga).

You're prolly already acquainted with the Hwang MiRee brand name from previous m&c! (and Elex) manhwa attacks. The prodigious thanks to lotsa assistants manhwa-ga is responsible for Ugly Duckling Become Swan, Idol Shopping, Legend of Nereid, New Sexy Simpleton, Want You, just to name a handful. m&c! has also licensed fan favorite Crazy Girl Shin Bia, as well as Say Say Say and Crab Kiss.

Newbie previews continue below, but just to note that the [RE-STO] or restocked titles are more than two-fold the STO or Standing Order ones. All 20 of them are shoujo manga.

Bleach 22 (m&c!)

Bleach © Kubo Tite/Shueisha (Serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump)
Published in Indonesia by PT Gramedia/m&c!

May contain [SPOILERS]

Ichigo turns down Shinji's offer to join the Visored, Shinigami who have undergone hollowification. Little does Ichigo know that Aizen would soon be dispatching two human-like Arrancar—Yammy and Ulquiorra—to Karakura chou. Chad and Orihime are the first to encounter Aizen's advance hollow party; they attempt to stop the pair of killing machines, but...

Kyaaa~! Ulquiorra-sama! ♡ It took you long enough to get here! Rather, it took m&c! *looks at m&c! askance* that long to bring you and Bleach 22: Conquistadores to this fangirl. Anyway, I hope you like it here. *angelic beam*

Goong [Palace Story] 19 by Park SoHee

Shin x ChaeKyeong continue to break my heart, despite MiRu scheming to reunite our OTP so that she gets Yul in Goong volume 19. This is prolly because HyoRin will do anything to marry Shin. Someone stop her!

NEW TITLES

We have Shanaou Yoshitsune Genpei War (Shanaou Yoshitsune: Genpei no Kassen), the follow-up to Sawada Hirofumi's award-winning shounen samurai tale Shanaou Yoshitsune; another new Long Hu Men side story, Tony Wong and Dick Kwong's The Story of Wang Fenglei (try to make out the original Indonesian blurb [with squint mode » ON!] here); and three new shoujo series—C-blossom -case 729- by Shimotsuki Kayoko & Fukui Harutoshi, Tokyo Angels by Fujii Mihona, and My Fragile Love, Miyawaki Yukino's Usotsuki na Gemini, on a triple launch.

Shanaou Yoshitsune Genpei War 1 by Sawada Hirofumi

Jishou Year 4 (1180 AD). Genji, incensed by Heishi tyranny, goes into action in various parts of Japan. This as an envoy arrives in Hiraizumi, forever changing the life of young samurai Hyota, now grown strong. Minamoto no Yoshitsune, it's time for your appearance on this historical stage!

C-blossom -case 729- volume 1 by Shimotsuki Kayoko & Fukui Harutoshi

C-blossom -case 729- volume 1 (m&c!)

To avoid public censure after her father's arrest on corruption charges, Matsumiya Kana transfers to an exclusive girls' boarding school. At a time when the friendless Kana nearly loses all hope, into her life comes the handsome teacher Kisaragi Kou. But who is Kisaragi Kou, really? And why is there a group out to kill Kana?

Scanlator Condensation (via Baka-Updates Manga) invites you to give this two-volume series a whirl with this welcome mat: Welcome to C-blossom -case729- a series with action, intrigue, and well... a plot.

(For me, the lure was: Megane bishounen. And yes, that alludes to Kisaragi Kou.)

Tokyo Angels 1 by Fujii Mihona

Tough Mei, cooking-proficient Mai, and gentle Yui. This angelic trio has vowed to protect Tokyo from the menace of drugs.

It's been awhile (a  l—o—n—g while) since Fujii Mihona-sensei's GALS first came out in Indonesia; I hope Mei is a worthy successor to Kotobuki Ran.

My Fragile Love 1 by Miyawaki Yukino

Losing my memory has made me realize what being alone means. But Rin has promised to make new memories with me. Memories between twins.

This is the heroine Aoi talking after she was hospitalized and lost her memory. She is supposed to be very close to her twin, Rin, or so says Shoujo Crusade (excerpted by Baka-Updates Manga).

You can find the My Fragile Love volume 2 and 3   [SPOILAGE], as well as volume previews of Born to Cook 6, White Paper Ark 5, and Garudayana 2, after the manga list.

BESTSELLER REISSUES: Shanaou Yoshitsune 7-12 Box Set

Shanaou Yoshitsune volumes 7-12 release alongside the Genpei War premiere. Like the initial package deal, this box set of Sawada Hirofumi-sensei's Kodansha Manga award winner for best shounen manga likewise retails for IDR 89,000.

MANGAZINES: Cherry 42

Cherry 42 (m&c!)

Mecha Mote Iinchou.
