May contain [SPOILAGE!]

Fated reunions and isshokenmei tennis struggles on deck as 3L releases Ikeyamada Go's I Love You, Suzuki kun!! 8 and Kumagai Kyoko's Sky Blue Ageha 2 of 2. First up, the series Wiki highlights as one of the top 10 most heart♥-wrenching, as ranked by readers of Junon magazine:

Hikaru goes through days oblivious since his parting with Sayaka. But he sparks to life when he sees Sayaka, the artist. He meets Sayaka, but all he gets for saying how much he misses her is a beating. Is 'Naruse Sayaka' really Hikaru's Sayaka? How come she can't remember anything about their common past?

For once, I won't have to ask my usual Shinobu × Chihiro wa? because the other romance set also reunites.

☆ I preview Sky Blue Ageha Behind The Cut, but noting up here that these two titles are rated for Dewasa or Mature audiences.

Published in Indonesia as Galism ~ 3 Sisters first-class Love ~, Hori High School Hanemono Ranger, I Need Job!! ~Unofficial Decision For You~ and Sky Blue Ageha by PT Tiga Lancar Semesta/Tiga Lancar Comic (3L)

If you're wondering where are 3L's Valentine manga, wonder no more. Angelzon sez I Need Job!! 2 of 2, Hori High School 3 of 3, Galism 2 and newbie Sky Blue Ageha 1 by Kumagai Kyoko should be on sale at your favorite news stands this week. (I heard Gramed pulled 3L releases from its shelves for the former's Mature content. More on this below.)

Do you need refreshers on the concluding josei and continuing shoujo series? If so, click this, this, and/or this. Previewing Sky Blue Ageha—Kumagai Kyoko's tennis-troped Sorairo Ageha—here:

The summer Ageha was 10, she met her destiny — tennis. That fateful summer, Ageha chanced to see a boy, Takeru-kun, playing tennis. Wowed by his awesome game, Ageha decides to take up the sport and vows to join the tennis club when she reaches high school. On her first day of school, who should Ageha run into but Takeru-kun, her tennis inspiration. But what's with his cold attitude and insistence that he hates tennis?

3L also published Kumagai Kyoko-sensei's Ichigo Jikan, Houkago Orange and Inventive Princess.

For sure Galism 2 and I Need Job!! 2 are rated for DEWASA or Mature audiences. Hori High School 3 might also be (couldn't see it from the cover). Despite it having serialized in Sho-Comi, Sky Blue Ageha should be safe.

That 3L's manga have been predominantly rated Mature lately is supposedly the reason the Gramedia book store chain decided to no longer carry 3L titles.
