Dr. Koto vol 9 of 25+
By Yamada Takatoshi
The solo fighter doctor on the remote island of Koshiki, Dr. Koto receives a phone call from Dr. Ebato, the leader in the field of organ transplants, asking for surgical assistance. Koto, about to operate on Madame Uchi, one of the island's oldest residents, declines, but without explanation, later accepts and joins his colleague. Shocked by his decision, the islanders express their dissatisfaction: Why has the doctor abandoned us?
It turns out, the patient Dr. Koto is about to operate on hides an unexpected secret...
Dr. Koto 9: Berpisah
collects chapters 90–102.
For more recent Dr. Koto—and Conan—installments, grab the newest Shonen Star. Issue 24/2011 01/2012 of the Indonesian Shonen Sunday streets the same day.

Shogakukan [Shonen Sunday]
In the latest Detektif Conan chapter —
The Black Organization is again on the move. Members stake out a mall, suspecting that Akai Shuichi survived, after a lookalike is caught on camera with the hostages of an earlier bank heist. At the same time, Detective Mouri Kogoro, looking into the red shirt case, meets a man who's a dead ringer for Akai.
If I read the Wiki summaries right, Elex's Conan volume 65 release ain't that far behind the Indonesian serialization; the preview above slots neatly into volume 67.
The other Shonen Star highlight is the premiere of Mitsuda Takuya's Buyuden. I thought it would be Arakawa Hiromu's Silver Spoon, but perhaps we'll get that in the next Issue 2. At any rate, LOLicious, Pride Before The Fall description of Boxing Meets Romance Buyuden »here. Imma just excerpt the last bit:
Isamu finds out that not only is Moka more athletic than him from all her years of boxing, she's also much smarter than him. Will he able to get over his overly sensitive pride and dive into a romantic relationship?
Mitsuda Takuya is the manga-ka of 1996 Shogakukan Manga Awardee Major. Other ShoStars, notably Wild Life by Fujisaki Masato, Kekkaishi by Tanabe Yellow and Dr. Koto, are also no slouches when it comes to winning Shogakukan manga awards.
Also currently serializing are ARAGO by Arai Takahiro, Magi by Ohtaka Shinobu (which reportedly has a ‘huge project’ in development
), Alice in Borderland by Aso Haro, Defense Devil by Youn InWan & Yang KyungIl, My First Mr. Akuno by Fujiki Syun and The World God Only Knows by Wakaki Tamiki.
Collecting the tankou? Most recent volumes apart from Detektif Conan 65 and Dr. Koto 9 that street with ShoStar 1: Kekkaishi vol 10 (2011.10.19 release date), Wild Life 20 (2011.09.28), My First Mr. Akuno 5 (2011.08.15) and Defense Devil 5 (2011.08.10).
