I Give My First Love to You 2, The Breaker 10 of 10, Sentimental Color 2 of 2 (m&c! manga and manhwa out nau~) [UPDATED]

Street date: 11 August 2012, the last manga release sked before the Idul Fitri break. Regular deliveries reboot 31 August, if not, 5 September 2012.
Update: Moving Samurai Darling Masamune—deets, NikBabble™, teh whole shebang—to 31 August 2012, per m&c! advisory. (I warned you there was a possibility of that premiere's delay. On the off-chance you nabbed a copy already, then good for you, but m&c! and at least two other online book shops have pegged Samurai Darling Masamune's release as 31 August.)

Published in Indonesia as I Give My First Love to You by Gramedia/m&c!

Having someone you like is an incredible feel. Your days are filled by thoughts of her, just her. But if she's with me... only tears await Mayu. That's why, on the day we graduate from grade school, I have to gaze my fill of Mayu. Because that could well be the last time I see her.

*Wail!* Takuma's still fighting fate (and a bad heart) in the second I Give My First Love to You tank, which compiles Keep that hanky handy! 6th through 10th fortunes: First Love Storm, Rendezvous, Punishment, Height Comparison and Dream. A bonus Data File closes the volume (and a Yori × Iku cameo ambushes inside :D).

Finales
We bid buh-bye to three manhwa and one manhua series — The Breaker (with volume 10), Sentimental Color (volume 2), Wicked: Dance with Us (volume 3) and Ice Fantasy (also volume 3). The first two get Before the Jump blog estate for previews because they're the first runner-up DO WANT! (Look for the rest after the cut.)

The Breaker Vol 10 of 10
By Jeon KeukJin & Park JinHwan

Koo Ryong Moon loses all vestiges of humanity, turning him into an unstoppable monster. Can former bully victim and present disciple Lee Shi Woon restore his master's consciousness?

If you still want Breaker action, poke m&c! for the sequel The Breaker: New Waves. Four volumes have been released in Korea as of June this year, and it's still running in Daum (or so sez Baka-Updates Manga).

New m&c! titles
New titlesm&c! launches only one new mangaSamurai Darling Masamune ex shoujo-bordering-on-josei Petit Princess. Caveats: (1) This is the *second* volume of Yoshida Ikaru's Samurai Darling series; (2) It may be postponed (in some places) because it doesn't appear in the distribution release list (AKA STO 11 August 2012 Excel file). Check your fave Gramed to make sure. «Update: Moved to after the Idul Fitri holidays.

Resident Evil: Marhawa Desire 1 by Serizawa Naoki, Shanaou Yoshitsune Genpei War 18, Seven Colors Prelude by Asami Yuriko (m&c! manga out nau~) [UPDATED]

Street date: 27 June 2012
I hope you don't mind that I don't lead with the top DO WANT! (by one vote) Resident Evil: Marhawa Desire 1 because the artwork scares me >_<. I also hope that you don't mind just a shopping list this week. I'll be away for a fortnight and only managed to squeeze this much in. Gomen... «Edit: I couldn't resist NikBabbling™, no matter how supremely delayed.

Shanaou Yoshitsune Genpei War 18 (m&c!)

Shanaou Yoshitsune: Genpei no Kassen © Sawada Hirofumi/Kodansha
[Serialized in Monthly Shonen Magazine]
Published in Indonesia as Shanaou Yoshitsune Genpei War by Gramedia/m&c!

So let's kick off with Shanaou Yoshitsune Genpei War volume 18:

The fate of Clans Minamoto and Taira hangs in the balance. Yoshitsune and troops poise on the cliffs above Ichi-no-Tani, marking time before the fortress falls. The world remains unaware that the historic Battle of Ichi-no-Tani is about to unfold...

With m&c!'s volume 18 release, we're one tank away from the latest Shanaou Yoshitsune: Genpei no Kassen, volume 19 of which streeted in Japan on 17 May 2012.

New m&c! titles
m&c! frightens me off from using the premiering Resident Evil: Marhawa Desire's blood-drenched cover as this post's lead. The titular Marhawa, an elite school secreted in the most remote of locations, is infected with a horrific virus that transforms people into bloodthirsty zombies.

One Biohazard - Marhawa Desire tankou has streeted in Japan so we have the (dubious) distinction of being up to speed on Serizawa Naoki's ongoing Shounen Champion manga. Marhawa Desire reportedly has a prequel — Biohazard Umbrella Chronicles - Houkai e no Jokyoku first serialized in the same Akita Shoten shounen magazine but written by Miyazaki Masaru and illustrated by Matsueda Naotsugu (one volume released in 2007). Biohazard is, of course, the Japanese name of Capcom's survival horror video game series known everywhere else as Resident Evil.

Aside from Marhawa Desire, Serizawa Naoki-sensei is credited with the seinen, adapted to live-action Saru Lock (first serialized in Kodansha's Young Magazine; 22 volumes compiled between December 2003 and December 2009) and Lucifer no Migite ex-Morning (six volumes published from August 2010 to October 2011).

Also premiering — the harem-troped Seven Colors Prelude (Nanairo no Enbukyoku) by Asami Yuriko, Takeya Sousuke, Kanai Ryo ex Media Factory's Comic CYUTT; two shoujo manga from Ichikawa Show first serialized in Sho-Comi (and in Cherry here): Captured by Love (Koakuma Lion) and First Love Promise (Hatsukoi no Itazura); the second The Best Selection of Akaishi Michiyo or (Akaishi Michiyo the Best Selection 2); and There, we found love (Soko ni wa Chanto Ai ga Aru) by Takase Yuka from A.L.C. (Akita Ladies Comics) Selection. Previews after the release list.

The latest Cherry plonks Nishimura Tomoko's My Lovely Class Leader on the cover, but the highlight of the issue is the Indonesian debut of Kayoru's ballet-troped gender bender Kaname Étoile. [Continued...]
