Love So Life 3, Ugly Duckling Become Swan 11, Crazy Girl Shin Bia 1 by Hwang MiRee (m&c! 27 April 2011 manga and manhwa) [UPDATED]

*fans self* Hot (and hella long) in herre. *looks sideways at hortatory Cyan-san* :D

Speaking of compelling persuasion, props to m&c! hyping Crazy Girl Shin Bia as one of Hwang MiRee's best. This Smells like New Sexy Simpleton meets jjang hybrid stimulated enuf GET! salivation, I expect stock to run out. (Yes, hyperbolic much.)

Shin Bia, a beautiful but tuff orphan, has mastered such a scary array of martial arts, even gang bosses quail at the mere mention of her (not enough though to preclude nicknaming her Crazy Girl).

One day, a jade necklace whaps Crazy Girl upside teh head. Etched on the antique gold pendant is the kanji for “King.” And before you can say, “Look out behind you!”, Shin Bia is run over by Destiny — in the form of a handsome prince on a white steed.

That this soonjung romance manhwa is also known as Crazy girl Shin Bi-Ah goes to the alien world!! 「크레이지걸 신비아 이계로 가다!!」 ought to tell you why I liken it to New Sexy Simpleton, an earlier time-slipping Hwang MiRee product. Aside from Travel Back in Time into Alternate History and Strong Female Lead-ness, Possessive Lover also applies. (If that there cover isn't a hint, I don't know what is.)

All told, 19 volumes, so expect to shell out some IDR 318,400 if you become invested enough to collect. If it makes you feel any better, that rupiah total is roughly equivalent to USD 37.

Since we're already in HMR territory —

Ugly Duckling Become Swan 11 of 13 by Hwang MiRee

«I held your hand that cold day, wanting to end the lie.»

DoJin, I really like you... Would you kiss me?

«I can live with being a fat ugly duckling forever. The important thing is for me to kiss you...»

Glek. Mio is daring, isn't she? Actually wanted to lead with the Ugly Duckling Become Swan 11 cover, but a Kim DoJin in a Santa cap doesn't quite fit the end-of-April profile.

Now for the top DO WANT! —

Love So Life 3 of 6+ by Kouchi Kaede

Engulfed by the warmth of the Terminally Keyoot Twins™ and their Your kindness is killing me! Uncle Seiji, Shiharu hones her nanny skills to pro standards. But the day when she runs her own daycare is still far, far off; for now, she busies herself preparing for the school cultural festival.

When Sei-tan drops by the café Shiharu and her classmates have set up, Shiharu is torn between happiness and anxiety.

Why??

(Lina-chan, I hope you appreciate the effort I put into adapting m&c!'s summary to make Love So Life sound a little less of a treadmill. For those of you who just went Wut? after reading that, Lina-chan fondly describes LSL thus for its jalan di tempat or walking with nowhere to go narrative. AKA treadmilling.)

Cherry 53/2011: Super Sweet ☆ Honey Ends

Sekai Seifuku ☆ Honey
© Aoi Michiru/
Shogakukan [Ciao]
Published in Indonesia
as Super Sweet ☆ Honey

Aoi Michiru's Super Sweet ☆ Honey (originally Sekai Seifuku ☆ Honey) headlines Cherry 53/2011 for the simple reason that the Love for you makes me stronger! ex-Ciao serial concludes this edition with Episode 3: Vol. 3: All for Love!

The other Ciao manga continuing their serialization are I am not a Maid! by Iwaoka Meme (Episode 3 this issue taken from Maid ja Naimon! volume 1), My Lovely Class Leader ♥ by Nishimura Tomoko (Episode 27 from Gokujou!! Mecha Mote Iinchou vol. 9) and the side story about The Other Girl × The Guy's Middle School Friend—Her Boyfriend!?—that attaches to She, Between He and Me, now that Morita Yuki's Kare to Kanojo to Kanojo has finished.

As for the (defunct) ChuChu shoujo serials, we get 7 Centi! Memory 9. I assume Nanajima Kana's series closes in on The End as that ninth chapter comes from 7 Cenchi! volume 3 of 3. Meanwhile, we have a long way to go before Yomogi Loves Money? by Arai Kiyoko wraps: this issue's Episode 4 hails from Yomogi Mochi Yaketa? tankou 1 of 4.

Completing the mangazine installments are the Flowers josei drama Dawn Aria by Akaishi Michiyo (Episode 30 from Akatsuki no ARIA volume 9 of 11+) and sneak peeks into komikus Archie the Redcat's Panel!, Gita Juwita's Pakai Baju Apa Hari Ini? (What to wear today?) and Bijou's Between You and Me, all lifted from the local KOLONI romance antho Cinta Sang Fashionista released last January.

☂, IV No longer exclusively shoujo, the 4.27 restocks [RE-STO] include the Long Hu Men side story The Story of Wang Fenglei volumes 1 through 7, each carrying an IDR 85,000 price tag (unchanged from the time these things first streeted). Though considering the finale Book 10 releases today, wonder why m&c! didn't bother restocking Books 8 and 9, too? (Moar on the current Tony Wong kungfu manhua below.) Don't worry though; m&c! reverts to an all-shoujo line-up for the 4 May restock. Couldn't care less? How about if I tell you — My Sweet Kaicho and You Can't Disappear From Me? *evil grin*

Sugar Family 6 of 6, Gunslinger Girl 12, Ugly Duckling Become Swan 10 (m&c! 13 April 2011 manga and manhwa) [UPDATED]

Top DO WANT!s of this seriously manhwa m&c! release are both manga. Go figure. (Keeping my promise to Kia-chan and Cyan-san to not just list releases.)

Sugar☆Family © Hagio Akira/Hakusensha
[First serialized in LaLa DX]
Published in Indonesia by Gramedia/m&c!

“I can't always be your little sister.”

Yuka's heart wavers over Taichi's closeness to his “new little sister,” even as Arata presses Yuka to choose between him and her step-brother. Yuka picks...

Yup, the last volume 6 of the sibcestuous Sugar Family #loveComplexity streets this week. Don't imitate me, forgetting to GET! because of drooling over the new Hwang MiRee manhwa. (More on this below.)

But before the fluffy manhwa attack (that prompted tweep freakenari-san to tell m&c!: Just run your sword through me now!), let's detour to a manga rife with vengeance, blood and other dark things:

Gunslinger Girl 12 of 13+ by Aida Yu

The Croce Incident continues to haunt Gian and Giose. The brothers' hatred peaks when the affair's mastermind returns and obliterates two SWA cyborgs. Revenge takes a temporary back seat as Giose faces a nodus of clashing interests: save cyborg assassin Henrietta, bleeding to death on the battlefront, or allow her to rest in peace... forever.

Gunslinger Girl 12 compiles chapters 67 through 73: A New Family, The Croce Affair (Parts 1-4), Fantasma (Part 2) and Addio. [*NOT m&c!'s titles] Let's hope m&c! doesn't take the same amount of time the Japanese publisher did to release volume 13 (one full year).

I double feature ♥ Ugly Duckling Become Swan 10 and the ♥ penultimate Sandwich Girl (volume 7) Below the Cut to intro the promised debuts, the culprits of the Sugar Family sin of omission.

m&c! new manhwa

Crab Kiss and Say Say Say © Hwang MiRee/Samyang

NOT (yet) Crazy Girl Shin Bia series from Hwang MiRee (that's still upcoming). For now we get the Secret Kiss Crab Kiss and Radio Love Triangle Say Say Say—plus the Elite School Romance Idol's Love Story, the latter from Han YuRang, who, like HMR, can crank out 72 series (and counting) because of a gaggle of assistants.

Say Say Say is the story of Yun Say, a high school girl who streams radio broadcasts from home, and her true-blue listener, Timeless. Yun Say is convinced she will someday meet Timeless face to face, but fate messes up her plans — throwing at Yun Say two bishies who exemplify polarity: cute and sweet En Jun Hwi × handsome and arrogant Seo Young Won. (I already know who I favorite.)

The Say Say Say romance promises complexity as only HMR can craft it, if the Radio Show, Friends Become Lovers, Friends Betrayal, Cool Male Lead, Boy Band tags Baka-Updates users append to this soonjung manhwa are any indication. [Moar previews and NikBabble© after the release list.]

☂, II Similar to last week, the restocked [RE-STO] shoujo manga overwhelm the STO/Standing Order, a trend that maintains till the 20 April release as m&c! apparently spring-cleans. But unlike last or next week, the 4.13 holdovers count Psychic Detective Yakumo (Shinrei Tantei Yakumo - Akai Hitomi wa Shitteiru) 1 and 2 by Miyako Ritsu & Kaminaga Manabu among the escapees.

Ugly Duckling Become Swan 8, Sky Blue Beach 3, CSI: Intern at Your Own Risk (m&c! 2 March 2011 GN) [UPDATED]

Sandwich Girl © Han YuRang/Samyang
Published in Indonesia by PT Gramedia/m&c!

Finally, what I feared has come true. My chest hurts, like it has been punctured. My heart feels like it's going to explode. I can't stand seeing DoJin close to another woman. This is my reality. I love you, Kim DoJin...

Yup, lurve is in the air, not only in Ugly Duckling Become Swan 8 previewed above, but also in the other soonjung manhwa streeting this 2nd March — Sandwich Girl 6, below:

Despite his initial demurral, SeJoon now refuses to let fiancée JaeKyeong go, especially after his mom moves to cancel the engagement and matchmake SeJoon with another girl. JaeKyeong, meanwhile, finds her thoughts constantly filled with her fiancé whom she professed to detest. Is this love?

Before I get to the newbs, just have to mention that I'm thisclose to getting (or at least borrowing) the Confucius series by Ihara Sai & Lee Chi-ching, volume 6 of which also streets today. Why the interest in Kong Zi? Blame Sungkyunkwan Scandal, the Korean period drama about Confucian scholars in 18th century Joseon (Korea), that I absolutely, gave it a 9 out of 10 stars, wubbed. I might be persuaded not to try out the Confucius manhua if I can find the Jung EunGwol novels, The Lives of Sungkyunkwan Confucian Scholars 1 & 2, upon which the drama is based.

New m&c! titles

m&c! premieres the future of CSI—CSI: Interns—with the release of the OEL manga CSI: Intern at Your Own Risk by Sekou Hamilton & Steven Cummings [cover on the left], a move that kindles hopes that the OEL GN Vampire Kisses: Blood Relatives m&c! advised last year is not too far behind.

CSI: Interns follows a group of teenagers interning at the Las Vegas Crime Lab. Fifteen-year-old Kiyomi Hudson never envisioned that her dream internship will turn into a nightmare, exacting a tragic toll on her and the four other interns investigating the gruesome murder of a young girl.

Meanwhile, I babble about the not-really weather limited Spring Love by Suetsugu Yuki after the cut.

Ugly Duckling Become Swan, Sandwich Girl and Be a Naughty Girl

The soonjung manhwa triad I reported as Upcoming catch the 2.09 train. Dojin begins to suspect Mio's motives for agreeing to become his girlfriend and thus becomes a prime target for pouncing by Mio's sister in Ugly Duckling Become Swan 7; Jae Kyeong, unable to pay the medical fees, becomes Lee Joon's pro bono “nurse,” much to fiancé Se Joon's disgust (read: jealousy) in Sandwich Girl 5; and Ha Ru is threatened with expulsion should he turn in another empty test paper, prompting Lee Yeong Won into helping him out, with the net effect of seeing her class standing plummet and receiving an ultimatum from mom: leave Haru or else in Be a Naughty Girl 4.

Love is Everywhere Valentine manga, Part IV ♥

August December
© Sparrow/m&c!

The second KOLONI local comic (after Cinta Sang Fashionista) to be embraced by m&c!'s Love is Everywhere salvo is August December by Sparrow, which poses the question: Do you believe in the existence of... true love? Obviously, protagonist Cahaya does. Cahaya, a rookie Cupid, loses one of the tools of his trade — his bow and arrow. (Or it could be just the arrow.) Unfazed, Cahaya perseveres in letting his clients experience soul mate love, even if sometimes the methods he uses are unconventional.

The other Love is Everywhere shoujo manga include the Older Woman/Younger Man quartet — Love After School by Aikawa Saki, Bus Guide Story by Sakou Watari, Buttterfly Boy by Arata Megumi and Cherry is Everywhere 1 by YASUKO; the models and celebs Cute! Cute! Cute! 1 and 2 of 2 by Sakisaka Mea and Secret Scandal by Shigano Iori; Bad Boy-troped First Love Stories by Yoshinaga Yuu and Kiss Me After School! by Shiiba Nana; and Can Not Spit It Out angst Kiss and Regret by Nanao Mio and Time to Say Goodbye by Yamanaka Rico. All these previewed after the manga list.

MANGAZINES: Cherry 51/2011 premieres I am not a Maid! and Super Sweet Honey

7 Centi!
© Nanajima Kana
Shogakukan [ChuChu]

The 51st issue of the Indonesian Sho-Comi/ ChuChu/Ciao slaps Nanajima Kana's 7 Centi! on the cover, to go with the latest Memory 8 chapter inside, but I wish m&c! had instead chosen I am not a Maid! or Super Sweet Honey or Blue Prince. Need moar info about these Cherry 51 debuts. As it stands, I can only speculate that I am not a Maid! is Iwaoka Meme's Maid ja Nai Mon! 「メイドじゃないもん！」.

Edit: Yes, I am not a Maid! IS Maid ja Nai Mon!, while Super Sweet Honey is Sekai Seifuku Honey 「世界征服☆ハニー」 by Aoi Michiru (ex Ciao) and Blue Prince is Oujisama wa Blue, a side story to My Lovely Class Leader by Nishimura Tomoko.

Other series installments: Kiss & Harmony by Takamiya Satoru (Lesson 4 this issue), The Ring of God by Obara Shou (Episode 5), Yomogi Loves Money? by Arai Kiyoko (Episode 2), Color of Sky, Color of Love by Ichikawa Show (Episode 4), She, Between He and Me by Morita Yuki (Episode 2), Dawn Aria by Akaishi Michiyo (Episode 28) and Sejejak Mimpi: Romantika Odong-odong that I assume was lifted from Sejejak Mimpi, the KOLONI comic by S Y S, Cosmic Afro and Kat that m&c! released last December.
