Erementar Gerad 3, Gamaran 2, Namida Usagi 5 (m&c! 4 January 2012 manga) [UPDATED]

Update: Eyecandy, anyone?

Namida Usagi ~Seifuku no Kataomoi~ © Minase Ai/Shogakukan
[Serialized in Sho-Comi]
Published in Indonesia as Namida Usagi ~Tears of First Love~ by Gramedia/m&c!

Narumi confesses to Momoka, relieving Momoka of her unrequited love. But does this mean they're officially a couple? Despite saying he loves her, Narumi doesn't ask Momoka to be his girlfriend. Is he just leading her on? What's worse, Moa reappears begging, "Don't take Taka away from me..."

I really feel like booting Moa eternally from the scene and hoping that Narumi makes Momoka happy from here on out. But looking at the bewildered Momoka on the back cover (left)—and mindful that Namida Usagi has released eight volumes in Japan, with the ninth on the way (2012.02.24 street date)—we still have some ways to go before a definitive Happy Even After :P

Now for the top DO WANT!

Erementar Gerad vol 3 of 18
By Azuma Mayumi

To protect Ren, Arc Aile decides to spirit her back to its more easily defensible HQ, but Ren has other ideas. She pleads to be set free to reach Edel Garden. Why does Ren want to go there so badly?

Gamaran vol 2 of 13+
By Nakamaru Yosuke

The daimyou's 31 sons jostle for a shot at succeeding their father and ruling Unabara: the champions they field in Unabara's tournament of attrition will determine who will ascend to power.

Kurogane Gama, representing Washitzu Naoyoshi, faces Ten'gen fighters, masters in Naginata jutsu. He manages to subdue Ren'Ge, but can he withstand the true power of Baian Maki, Ten'gen's head honcho?

Thirteen Gamaran tankou have been compiled in Japan as of November 2011. Volume 14 is scheduled for a 17 January 2012 release.

New m&c! titles
Two Cherry mangazine series graduate to tankou: Always by Your Side (Itsumo Soba ni Koi no Uta) by Nakamura Sayumi and I Love Dog and You (Inu Jikan) by Ichikawa Show. I preview the shoujo manga pair, one ex-ChuChu and the other originally serialized in Sho-Comi, below the release list.

Sable Prince 1 by Nesumi Chisato, Crab Kiss 7, Idol Shopping 12 of 12 (m&c! 12 October 2011 manga and manhwa) [UPDATED]

Took this long to stretch the MinimaList into NikBabble™, so some of you prolly already read (and wubbed) Pure Love Station by Tanaka Kei. Lemme just stress that Junai Station 2 already streeted in Japan last April. Better start begging m&c! ♡ for it.

Idol Shopping © Hwang MiRee/Samyang
Published in Indonesia by Gramedia/m&c!

Kang Ahul is enraged to see just how much Seo GaYoon loves Kang Song Yie, so much so that Ahul connives with Han Yerim to separate Song Yie from her soul mate. What's worse, Ahul disguises himself as his twin to trap GaYoon.

W00t! I can finally read Idol Shopping vol 11, which I've kept shrink-wrapped all this time in angsticipation of the last volume. Didn't want to get caught in an evil Hwang MiRee cliffie.

I preview other HMR manhwa Crab Kiss 7, Crazy Girl Shin Bia 6 and My Own Princess 8 after the release lists.

With Idol Shopping's finale, m&c! wraps the Original Samyang Four it launched in July 2010. (Remember that Idol Shopping premiered with Female Wolf's BOY, Ugly Duckling Become Swan and Sandwich Girl? I do, especially as I have 12+17+13+8 volumes nau taking up fast dwindling bookshelf space.)

New m&c! titles
Six of nine manga are new: The Adventure of Yoshito-sama, a new shounen series from Shii Haruka, creator of Meteodo; Nesumi Chisato's Clock Maker's Love (that I've been waiting for since 28 September) and Sable Prince, both shoujo fantasies ex-Comic Blade Avarus; Next to You by Namba Atsuko (Sprout creator); the Pure WAFF Pure Love Station by Tanaka Kei (that I already noted has a volume 2); and Song of the Sky, the second Amano Kozue short story antho, likewise postponed from its original 9.28 street date.

I feature the Nesumi Chisato pair up here; scroll down for the rest of the newbies.

crookclock and Sable Prince © Nesumi Chisato/Mag Garden [Blade Comics Avarus]
Published in Indonesia as Clock Maker's Love and Sable Prince by Gramedia/m&c!

In Clock Maker's Love, young master Hewlett devotes all his time to crafting timepieces for an appreciative few. His workaholic everyday is such that butler Gil fears for the watch-maker's health.

But one day, the gifted artisan meets a girl who upends his Don't bother me; I have work to do! routine. New maid Mulara surprises her employer by saying that her most precious possession is master Hewlett's clock.

Master and Maid trope, start-OH! :D Baka-Updates Manga users also heads-up: European Ambient, Male Lead Falling in Love First, Moe, Talented Male Lead, Tsundere Male Lead.

Clock Maker's Love spans four chapters. The tankou closes with The Cat's Hair Ornament, a nekomimi moe one-shot that's the last word in touching. I rate both 7 of 10.

Sable Prince vol 1, meanwhile, sees Prince Viloftira embark on a quest for a sword worthy of a future king. A new guard, Pierre, accompanies his majesty on his journey. What happens when you throw together a headstrong heir-apparent and a more than meets the eye companion? Also, what kind of sword is the prince seeking?

Baka-Updates Manga users warn: Lazy Character, Secret Identity, Master-Servant Relationship, Betrayal, the last already hinted at by the end of Tale or chapter 5 Fairies Cloth. (Chapters 1 to 4 are The Winged Prince, The Meat Dish Shop, The Prince and The Thief and Sopranino.)

I also rate the episodic Sable Prince vol 1 a 7 of 10.

Other Nesumi Chisato manga
Found only one other entry in addition to crookclock and Sable Prince — Jauhara Genya, the Arabian Desert, Princes, Ruins, Thieves romance first serialized in Aria (two of two volumes published in Japan per May 2011).

Idol Shopping 11, Kitchen Palette 2, Seiyuu-Ka! Lovely Voice 4 (m&c! 19 September 2011 manhwa and manga)

Will replace with an m&c! cover when a big enuf one shows up. » Done (Btw, if these manga and manhwa weren't available yet on the 19th, Monday, try succeeding days. m&c! actually dates these releases for the 21st.)

Seiyuu-Ka! © Minami Maki/Hakusensha [Serialized in Hana to Yume]

Before we get into the struggles of a voice star, the travails of an idol —

The entire boarding school is in an uproar over Kang Ahul—disguised as his twin sister—making out with idol Hwang SeRyun. The real Song Yie, meanwhile, falls into Ha Jin Chae's trap to make Seo GaYoon jealous.

How will Romeo (GaYoon) react when he sees his Juliet in bed with SeRyun? Complication as only Hwang MiRee can conceive in the penultimate Idol Shopping, INCOMING! (I think I'll hold off reading this volume until m&c! releases the 12th and last Idol Shopping :P)

Also sibling-induced headaches in another, similarly one more to go DO WANT!—

Since apprenticing at L'aurora, Komugi has leveled up as—if not a sous chef, then at least a short-order cook? For sure, she's totally under owner chef Tetsuri's spell. Little does Komugi expect to find major competition for Tetsuri's attention so close to home — her own sister!

Will sis Azuki succeed where Komugi ‘failed’? You know what title to ask for (*whispers* Kitchen Palette ~Komugi's Love Flavor in Training volume 2).

Meanwhile, Hime finally graduates from hell's training camp in

Electric Daisy 8, Namida Usagi 2, Idol Shopping 10 (m&c! 20 July 2011 manga and manhwa) [UPDATED]

Update: Tweaked here and there because I can :D

Kurosaki! Narumi! SeRyun?! (Yeah, I prefer Hwang SeRyun over Seo GaYoon :P)

Dengeki Daisy © Motomi Kyousuke/Shogakukan [Serialized in Betsucomi]
Published in Indonesia as Electric Daisy by Gramedia/m&c!

Teru emails Kurosaki, telling him to get lost. Kurosaki complies, but not before leaving Teru a message admitting that he killed Souichirou. Disbelieving, Teru pleads to hear about Kurosaki's "sin."

So in the latest Electric Daisy, we're finally treated to Kurosaki's backstory: why he became a hacker and the real deal behind Teru's brother's so-called murder. This particular volume is also responsible for (at least in Japan, 7net tells me) Dengeki Daisy sales topping a million copies. (100 (hyaku)-man = one million, ne?) Wonder how many m&c! has sold?

Going by the Japanese blurb again, this tank apparently includes the previously unreleased one-shot, Akira & Kurosaki Love-Love Shot. Will confirm once I have volume 8 in my greedy hands. »Edit Most likely misread Gugel's translation because the last File 39 is Daisy's Birth Day and what follows are end notes and a volume 9 preview. Unless it's one of the intervening chapters? Oh, well. *shrugs*

As if a new Electric Daisy weren't already such munificence, m&c! also reissues Motomi Kyousuke's Love Arrow, a shoujo manga fave 'round these parts, wubbed to the tune of 9.5 of 10 ♥. (If that isn't an exhortation to GET! I don't know what is. xD) Neway, more on manga new print runs below. For now... (I know you're (also) waiting for this.)

Namida Usagi -Tears of First Love- 2 of 7+ by Minase Ai

How many tears must I shed for you to consider me special?

Momoka couldn't be more surprised nor happier; Narumi shows up at the opening day ceremony. They're even classmates again. But the new Narumi has shed his gloomy geekness, much to the squeeing approval of the school's female cohort. Additionally, he and Momoko are no longer seatmates.

Can Momoko do anything to reduce the gap widening between herself and Narumi?

Kyaaa~ The Namida Usagi emotional stakes just went up-up-UP! with this Promised Angst xDDD. Can't wait to GET! volume two >.< What, you didn't get Namida Usagi 1 last January? Then I suggest snaffling a copy, restocked along with volume 2. This Minase Ai series is Pure Adowable!

New m&c! titles

m&c! launches yet another Tony Wong manhua (only two volumes long)—Chinese Heroes: Sang Legenda—about swordsman Dao Yi Lang who wants to reach the top, no matter what, even if it means leaving wife and kid behind, and Hua Ying Xiong who will do anything to free himself from the Black Dragon's clutches, objections and threats to life be d*mned.

This being my blog, however, My Beautiful Model by Yagami Rina, originally Emperor Limited, gets the Extended NikBabble™ Mix.

Emperor Limited © Yagami Rina
Shogakukan [Sho-Comi]
Published in Indonesia as
My Beautiful Model
by Gramedia/m&c!

People call Kou the "Emperor" of the modeling world. My twin brother Ao so reveres His Majesty, he decides to apply to Kou's modeling agency. But come audition day, Ao falls sick and who else but Big Sis has to sub for him (we look alike anyway).

Unfortunately, the Powers That Be discover I am NOT Ao. Fortunately, they give me a week's grace period, until Ao recovers. Can I survive this one week? More than that, what am I doing ogling Emperor Kou??

Baka-Updates Manga adds Adapted to Kdrama to My Beautiful Model AKA Koutei Gentei's Crossdressing, Twins, modeling tags. I don't know which drama they mean, but teh internets associates the superficial premise similarity with You're Beautiful. (No, Koutei Gentei is not credited.)

Digression done. This antho comprises two more stories: Your Naughty Eyes and
Kiss Kiss Kiss ~ My Little Honey. [Babble continued after the release list]

And while you can't really call 'em "new"—

New printing in addition to ☂ Restocks

m&c! reissues 3 Colors Signal by Obara Shou, Love Me by Aikawa Saki (both Love Triangled), Magical Sweet Mermaid by Minase Itsuru (which sounds nothing so much as a Little Mermaid retelling), the Wimp Bodyguard St. Valentine's Bodyguard by Takeuchi Masami and the Teacher/Student romance Sweet Words No Love by Fujita Nimi.
