Before top DO WANT! The Drops of God and Bambino! Secondo...(You know you've been wondering about Giséle Alain. Admit it. :D)
Giséle Alain © Kasai Sui
Enterbrain [Serialized in Fellows!]
Published in Indonesia by Level Comics
Aristocrat Gisele Alain is a lady of great curiosity. She leaves home and goes into the Jack (Jill) of All Trades trade — to help people in need, but also to satisfy her overwhelming curiosity about the world she lives in and life in general.
Eric, one of her tenants, is drafted as assistant (he complies because of rent arrears). Although Eric complains volubly, he's always ready to assist Gisele, and need help she does on several fronts — from kitty lost-and-found to woods patrol.
Gisele Alain (and Eric), at your service!
The Smart if Naïve Female Lead, Runaway from Home episodic historical slice of life Giséle Alain serializes in Enterbrain's seinen mangazine Fellows!. Three Beam Comix volumes out in Japan as of this June.
Only found one fellow Fellows! manga credited to Kasai Sui-sensei other than Giséle Alain and that's the Tsukiyo no Toratsugumi antho (JP release: 2011.05), which includes the side story Hana no Mori no Majo-san
or Witch of the Flower Forest.
I preview the other Level premiere, Karate Master Minoru, after the jump. For now, Most Wanted:
The Drops of God vol 13 of (33+)
By Agi Tadashi & Okimoto Shu
Shizuku and Loulan sort out the wine just in time, but Shizuku still searches—grape fruitlessly?—for a vino to complement spicy Korean food, primarily kimchi. Will Shizuku ever find the elusive vintage?
Also, the battle to identify the 4th Apostle gets underway. The theme this time: first Love~
Relieved to hear we're back to the Twelve Apostles. Or nine, as the case may be, plus that there "Drops of God." For a while I thought K-invasion eclipsed Kami no Shizuku's original compelling premise. :p
Just kidding!
Thirty-three Kami no Shizuku: Les Gouttes de Dieu tanks have been published in Japan as of May 2012. The 34th releases on 23 August.
Still in the wine—and food—biz:

Can Ban locate the former megastar before Legare's prospects dim for good?
