Dawn Aria 8, Mail Girlfriend 2, Takeru: Opera Susanoh Sword of the Devil 3 (m&c! 28 December 2011 manga) [UPDATED]

The rest of m&c!'s covers and NikBabble™ later
Update: This thing wouldn't let me rest until I'd filled in the blanks :P

Akatsuki no Aria © Akaishi Michiyo/Shogakukan [Serialized in Flowers]
Published in Indonesia as Dawn Aria by Gramedia/m&c!

Dedication to music finally allows Aria to pursue her dream of going abroad, and despite Nishimikado family opposition, Natsuo insists on accompaning Aria. But before Natsuo can even set sail, he is stabbed by his ex-fiancée Beniko.

Aria sets off, unaware of the tragedy that has befallen her husband. Upon her arrival in a foreign land, she is greeted by Tsukio in a state of distress.

We finally get Dawn Aria volume 8, even if we had to wait—oh, just over a year for it. Thank goodness Akaishi Michiyo's Taisho era josei manga also serializes in Cherry, otherwise... (cue ominous music here).

As for The girlfriend connected by e-mail —

Mail Girlfriend vol 2 of 5
By Oshima Towa

Kakeru has been dating Haruka for a year, but their relationship appears to be going nowhere. In fact, they seem to be growing apart. In this kind of situation, can Kakeru refrain from taking comfort in the ‘arms’ of new online friend, Myuu?

Mail Girlfriend volume 2 compiles chapters 7 to 13: timeout, access point, security hole, cookie, response, buffer overrun and impedance. [Original Japanese titles]

New m&c! titles
m&c! introes three one-shot Betsucomi shoujo manga: The Flavor of Love by Taamo (Rifle Girl manga-ka), Love Drops by Konno Risa (Invincible Lover) and Yummy Love Cafe, the second in Washio Mie's popular Derakomi “Café love story” series (following Love Café). Previews behind the cut.

Suddenly in Love
by Gramedia/m&c!

Mangazines: Cherry 60/2011
Suddenly in Love by Konno Risa and Captured by Love by Ichikawa Show debut

m&c! adds Betsucomi manga to its Ciao/ChuChu/Sho-Comi/Flowers line-up. Cherry Issue 60 sees the premiere of Suddenly in Love, Konno Risa's Sweet Boy ni Goyoujin and while Ichikawa Show's Koakuma Lion is originally from Sho-Comi, it, too, debuts, retitled Captured by Love. The Childhood Friends, Tsundere, Christmas, Cool Boy, Unrequited Love Suddenly in Love and Childhood Friends, Modeling, Older Female/Younger Male, Childcare Captured by Love first chapter covers »here and »here.

As for other series still running in Cherry, I would assume: Dawn Aria by Akaishi Michiyo, I am not a Maid! by Iwaoka Meme, My Lovely Class Leader ♥ by Nishimura Tomoko and Yomogi Loves Money? by Arai Kiyoko. If I'm wrong and/or missed any title, please add/correct in the comments :)

Bleach 44, Tabi and Fellow Travelers 3, Mail Girlfriend 1 by Oshima Towa (m&c! 23 November 2011 manga) [UPDATED]

Haven't led with a Bleach cover for awhile and luck of the draw gives me...Tōsen Kaname. Ah, well, the last time I got Yammy Llargo; there's a certain...I don't know...synchronicity?

Bleach © Kubo Tite/Shueisha [Serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump]
Published in Indonesia by Gramedia/m&c!

Rukia is powerless before Espada Yammy's Cero! Good thing a transformed Ichigo busts into Las Noches and comes to her aid. So, too, do Byakuya and Kenpachi, with Rukia's onii-sama ordering Ichigo to leave Yammy to them and return to Karakura-chou to kick Aizen's a*se.

So why is Tōsen the cover boy? Wiki shares: Shinji starts fighting Aizen, while Tōsen attacks his former comrades, Komamura and Hisagi, with his new Hollow powers. Turned into a Hollow, Tōsen overwhelms Komamura...

GET! m&c!'s Bleach 44: Vice It for the rest.

Vice It compiles chapters 378 through 386: Eyes of the Victor, Falta de Armonia, Devil, Devil, Devil, Devil, Words Just Don't Like You, The United Front 「Discordeque Mix」, TOO EARLY TO TRUST, Can't Fear Your Own Sword, Vice It and Bells Are Blue. [NOT m&c!'s chapter titles] The latest tankou chapter is 459, Death & Strawberry 2, bound in Volume 52: End of Bond (Japan release: 2011.10.04) but not for long. Volume 53 streets in Japan on 2 December.

Tabi's rapidly gaining fans, as shown by the number of DO WANT! it got, placing it behind Bleach.

Tabi and Fellow Travelers vol 3 of 6
By Tanakanoka

Shyness and an inability to express herself made peers shun Tabi when she was younger. Only Kou-chan refused to distance himself from her. Tabi's heart always calmed down whenever she heard Kou-chan's stories of a star- and light-filled world. But what of Kurone who got rejected by Tabi?

New m&c! manga
Surprisingly, it's m&c! that licensed Mail Girlfriend. Surprising because Oshima Towa's Mel Kano. first serialized in the seinen Sunday GX, so you'd be forgiven for thinking that if any Indonesian publisher were to publish it, it would've been Level Comics. Neway, I preview Mail Girlfriend and the other debuts—Images of You 1 (Goto Junpei's Ginen Shounen, first serialized in Shonen Sunday Super), Our Gentle Love (Satsuki Mikiko's Futari Koi Fuwari. from the now defunct ChuChu) and Kurumatani Haruko's Suddenly Kiss (Sho-Comi's Ai Kiss - Idol Kiss)—after the release list.
