Vampire Knight 6, Kungfu Boy Premium 1, Red Haired Anne 5: Anne of the Island (Elex Media 4 May 2011 manga) [UPDATED]

Update | NikBabble™ returneth! Mwahahaha!

That Premium affixed to Kungfu Boy indicates a bunko release, presumably for shounen classics, in the same way Deluxe singles out shoujo ones (e.g., Topeng Kaca Deluxe, Here is Greenwood Deluxe, Harmoni Deluxe). Wonder when the top DO WANT! manga below will rate that honor? (Obviously, it has to bunkoban (dare I hope even...aizoban??) issue in Japan first.)

Vampire Knight © Hino Matsuri/Hakusensha [Serialized in LaLa]
Published in Indonesia by Elex Media

Contains   [SPOILERS!!!]

The file detailing the vampire attack on Yuki 10 years ago bursts into flames in Yuki's hands. Meanwhile, Aido begins to wonder about his liege Kaname and the true cause of Kaname's parents' mysterious deaths. What secret does Kaname hide from Yuki and Aido?

From Zero to Hero(ine). That's actually what I titled my Vampire Knight 6 review (based on the Chuang Yi English edition). Because not only does Yuki wrastle the spotlight back from Zero, she actually establishes that SHE's the VK pivot. Despite its Yuki-centric-ness, however, I ended up giving this tank a grade of 8 of 10.

Intrigued? Click the review link if you don't mind spoilage and/or have read the VK installments in (much-missed) HanaLaLa. The pertinent Nights/chapters are: 25th Night: Vampires & Evening Party (ex-HanaLaLa 47/2010); 26th Night: ‘Kaname...’ (HanaLaLa 48/2010); 27th Night: ‘Archive Room’ (HanaLaLa 49/2010); 28th Night: Kuran's Family (HanaLaLa 50/2010); and 29th Night: The Awakening of a Fetus (HanaLaLa 51/2010). Completing volume 6 is the tankou-only side story Master Kaname and Me (Chuang Yi's title) or Kaname-sama and I, Prior to the Night Class.

So the next volume should already surpass the farewell HanaLaLa edition's last 33rd Night, The Pure Blood Vampire's Lover.

New Elex manga

Premiering alongside Maekawa Takeshi's Kungfu Boy Premium are Igarashi Yumiko's Red Haired Anne 5—based on Anne of the Island, the third book in L.M. Montgomery's classic Anne of Green Gables series—and the horror josei mystery My 17th Spring by A-list author Ono Fuyumi & (predominantly yaoi and BL manga-ka) Yamamoto Kotetsuko.

Published in Indonesia
as Kungfu Boy Premium
by Elex Media

I'm sure you already know what Kungfu Boy, originally Tekken Chinmi, is all about...what, you don't? OK, it follows this kungfu whiz foretold to perfect Dairin Temple's martial arts, who will supposedly appear in or around the temple's centennial. Fists of iron (the reason why the series is also called Ironfist Chinmi), legs capable of pulverizing rock, genius-level IQ and vision rivaling that of an eagle (he prolly has extremely large pupils that ensure minimal diffraction of light, too) designate the Prophesied One. He will hail from the west and sport a mole on his forehead. Oh, and he will still have to actually learn kungfu.

Meanwhile, in Red Haired Anne 5, Anne leaves Prince Edward Island and her work as a teacher in Avonlea for further education. Along with Gilbert, who continues his studies in in Nova Scotia, and Philip and new friends, Anne discovers what is precious to her.

I reserve the My 17th Spring preview for after the release list. Extended rambling dakara.

Naruto box set — No takers?

Wonder of eye-popping wonders, no LXO regular Snoopy danced at the prospect of the Naruto volumes 41 to 50 box set—at least, not when I checked. Now I doubt Naruto and Sasuke and Jiraiya and Pain have lost their appeal, but that IDR 160,000 price tag might've had something to do with the Let me count the money in my wallet caution. When Elex issued the earlier Naruto box sets, each 10-volume value bundle cost IDR 135,000, so the new price is up by some 18.5%.

On the way, she is attacked by the head of the Toma clan and is saved by none other than Zero. Kaname brings her back home to recuperate, and reveals a shocking secret to her!

Vampire Knight 5, Hello Master 2, Fullmetal Alchemist 24 (Elex 20 October 2010 manga)

Vampire Knight © Hino Matsuri/Hakusensha [Serialized in LaLa]
Published in Indonesia by Elex Media

Yeah, yeah, you know the manga threesome above equals top DO WANT!, but did you also catch how manhwa-ga Hwang MiRee tried to make off with this sked? She snuck in not one, not two, but three! soonjung manhwa into Elex's 10.20 list, one of them the debuting Want You. So if we add Idol Shopping 4, streeting over on m&c!'s side, it will really be—as noted by tweet friend freekenari-san—a Serangan HMR! for the 20th.

Be that as it may, no one, not even HMR's Themedes (or Thaion) nor Lee Jin (or Kubilai), is gonna dislodge Vampire Knight's Kyaaa~! Kaname-samaaa~! from First Blurb.

[SPOILAGE!]

Vampire Knight 5 of 12+ by Hino Matsuri

(Sasuga) Kaname-sama pierces Hio Shizuka's heart with his bare hand, but the murder is laid squarely at My Hero Zero's feet. A vampire council envoy is sent to execute our vampire hunter. Can Zero escape punishment for a crime he didn't commit?

If you follow HanaLaLa, you might've already read the volume 5 chapters: Twentieth Night: Game Over, Twenty First Night: Guilty, Twenty Second Night: The Changed & The Unchanged Twenty Third Night: The Lost Lamb and Twenty Fourth Night: “Little” Incident.

And speaking of HanaLaLa, you'll have to settle for this Vampire Knight tankou (and prolly also Hello Master 2, blurbed along with Fullmetal Alchemist 24 below the Fake Cut) for your LaLa or LaLa DX fix because there's no word yet on when HanaLaLa 53 will street.

New Elex titles: Our Dear Tamura-kun, RINNE and Want You

Elex premieres three series: Our Dear Tamura-kun, Kurafuji Sachi's manga adapt of Takemiya Yuyuko's Watashitachi no Tamura-kun light novels, RINNE, Takahashi Rumiko's latest SS serial that skips over a Shonen Star-First installment and Want You — apparently, yet another reverse harem from Hwang MiRee.

Because Want You already insinuated itself into the intro (not to mention how Elex listed volumes 1-4 in the September Komikologi), I'm indulging the “fashionably late” debut by giving it the Above the Cut spot. (In any case, I already spotlighted RINNE here.)

Disaster befalls orphaned tomboy Kang Herem's new home, but this is exactly the blessing in disguise she's been waiting for: Herem wants to go see her crush, who also happens to be her cousin.

Will Herem be reunited with her first love when moves into her uncle's house in Seoul?

I fell in love with you in the summer, a girl who dreams of returning to her home planet and leaving behind this sad world. I meet you again in springtime, a violent beauty who pelts me with a honmei choco.

Seasons careen past, just like a comet, waiting for the time it streaks through the night sky once more.

Black Santa is apparently an Internal Affairs investigator who probes into Santa/Reindeer misconduct and recommends pairs to be fired for unseemly behavior.

Mangazines

Nakayoshi 85/2010 premieres Little Marchen and Little Shugo Chara!

The latest Indonesian Nakayoshi debuts Little Marchen or Märchen-chan by Sakyo, alongside PEACH-PIT's Little Shugo Chara!, now that the main Shugo Chara! has concluded (wrapped in NakaGress! 84 with Boy Friend by Yamada Daisy).

Little Marchen is the story of Maria Date, a half-Scottish girl who, rumors have it, can see fairies. Meanwhile, Shugo Chara-chan! (at least, that's what I assume Little Shugo Chara! used to be) is a 4-koma manga based on Shugo Chara!. This first installment credits one Naftalen Mizushima as author, but Baka-Updates Manga lists these other Nakayoshi manga-ka as collaborators on this gag manga: Abe Yuriko, Ando Natsumi, Eto Miyuki, Kikuta Michiyo, Sakyo and Toyama Ema. Ando Natsumi, Kikuta Michiyo and Toyama Ema manga also appear in this issue, along with the current Nakayoshi pals:

• Arisa by Ando Natsumi
• Counting Sheep by Moro Orie
• CHOCOLATE by Fukushima Haruka
• Million Girl by Momoyuki Kotori
• Navi Runa by Kikuta Michiyo & Ikeda Miyoko
• Sweet Tamatan by Koge-Donbo
• XX Me! by Toyama Ema

I assume that Dua Pangeran Bintang by Hanamori Pink and New Hell Girl by Etoo Miyuki are still around, despite being conspicuously silent.

Shonen Star 74/2010 ☆ KATSU! by Adachi Mitsuru

Shoken gym opens and Satoyama and Mizutani join up. Riko attempts everything to ensure that Satoyama seriously pursues the pro boxing dreams of her idol, Satoyama papa Akamatsu Ryusuke. So much so that it piques Mizutani in the latest chapter of Adachi Mitsuru's sports manga Katsu!

Premiering this issue is Inoue Kazurou's Magical Iroha (Mahou no Iroha!) comedy, about middle schooler Naoki who about suffers a heart attack when he receives a surprising visitor in Iroha, the girl claiming to be his daughter from the future.
