You Are Completely Mine by KAORI (3L shoujo manga out nau~)

Street date: 28 June 2012, give or take a day.
(I was able to squeeze in one more blog post before taking a holiday.)

You Are Completely Mine (Tiga Lancar Comic/3L)

Marugoto Ore no Mono © KAORI
Shogakukan [Cheese! Flower Comics]
Published in Indonesia as You Are Completely Mine
by PT Tiga Lancar Semesta/Tiga Lancar Comic (3L)

Rinka just returned to her hometown after a long absence, and she's beside herself at the thought of meeting Shuta, her former crush. Unfortunately (or fortunately) Shuta isn't the same guy he used to be — he's turned into Mr. Perfect!

And Rinka's heart just won't quit pounding!

KAORI's You Are Completely Mine, originally Marugoto Ore no Mono, first serialized in Cheese!, which makes me wonder why 3L deems this particular shoujo manga Teen ("Remaja")-safe. Especially when Baka-Updates Manga tags it smut. So tread warily just in case.

This Childhood Friends, Male Lead Falling in Love First, Possessive Lover volume contains the title story and its Bangai-hen and Tokubetsu-hen, as well as a side story Give Me a Sweet Kiss. [*NOT 3L titles]

Before releasing You Are Completely Mine, 3L published KAORI's Touch by Your Kiss or Kimi no Kiss de Furete. I already listed KAORI-sensei's backlist when Kimi no Kiss de Furete debuted here, and have nothing to add other than noting that the Basketball, Maids, Secret Identity, Tomboy, Rivals Become Lovers, Male Lead Falling in Love First Himitsu no Ai-chan romance comedy, ongoing serialization in Cheese! will have released its volume 8 by 26 July 2012, and that KAORI-sensei top-billed the Cheese! Best Selection anthology Secret Love Collection released in Japan last February. (Other Cheese! manga-ka contributing to this omnibus: Fujiwara Yoshiko, Sakurada Hina, Nanao Mio, Ichidou Hikaru and Ayamoto Miha.)

Galism 6 of 6 and You are Mine 2 of 2 (3L shoujo manga out nau~)

Streets this week though I haven't seen them in the wild yet.

Galism 6, You are Mine 2 (Tiga Lancar Comic/3L)

Galism - Renai Joutou 3 Shimai © Yokoyama Mayumi/Shogakukan [First serialized in Betsucomi] · Kimi wa Boku no Mono © Ohta Saki/Shogakukan [First serialized in Cheese!]. Published in Indonesia as Galism ~ 3 Sisters first-class Love ~ and You are Mine by PT Tiga Lancar Semesta/Tiga Lancar Comic (3L)

After hyping 'em since the first quarter of this year, 3L concludes Yokoyama Mayumi's Galism ~ 3 Sisters first-class Love ~ and Ohta Saki's You are Mine with this week's release of volume 6 and 2 respectively.

In Galism volume 6—

Silly couple Yuudai and Ran still can't advance to the next stage of intimacy though not for want of trying. It's just something always b*tts in...at just the right moment. This time, amorous interruptus comes courtesy of Yuudai's mom who stops paying Yuudai's rent, forcing the poor guy to freeload at the Ugajin residence (he stays in the garage). But even makeshift quarters are not about to stop our baka couple from trying to Do It!

So who's this Mystery Person who just has to get in the way?!?

Find out in the *cough*climax*cough* of this High Tension Love Comedy, unsurprisingly rated for [DEWASA] or Mature audiences only.

Meanwhile, in You are Mine volume 2... (you'll have to scroll down for the preview :p)

My Youth with You 7 and Sanevurin Witch 1 by Soya Yuka (3L shoujo manga out nau~)

Street date: 30 May 2012

My Youth with You 7, Sanevurin Witch 1 (Tiga Lancar Comic/3L)

Kimi no Tonari de Seishunchuu © Fujisawa Shizuki/Shogakukan [First serialized in Betsucomi] · Sanevurin no Majo © Soya Yuka/Akita Shoten [First serialized in Princess]. Published in Indonesia as My Youth with You and Sanevurin Witch by PT Tiga Lancar Semesta/Tiga Lancar Comic (3L)

Only one more tankou and I can close my personal My Youth with You chapter.

Keita decides not to move abroad with his parents, which of course gladdens Miu. But her joy over spending days with her boyfriend doesn't last long, what with the Big What are you planning after graduation? question pressing for answers. Depressed because she can't keep up with Keita and her friends, Miu finds salvation with...transfer student Serizawa?!

We're already at volume 7 of 8 and Fujisawa Shizuki-sensei throws this at us? Whoo, boy. Methinks I'll wait till 3L releases the finale and marathon the thing to head off any teeth-gritting frustration over possible evil cliffies.

I'm more optimistic about the debuting Sanevurin Witch, especially after seeing the droolicious cover of volume 2—oops, getting ahead of myself. Preview first:

Sanevurin Witch vol 1 of 2
By Soya Yuka

“Whomsoever finds the wings will receive the protection of Sanevurin...”

To take the witch test, Monika exchanges the safety of home for the uncertainty of the outside world. Studying is her priority, as is dropping her wings — and hoping that whoever finds them is hawt. Unfortunately for Monika, she meets...an obnoxious old(er) guy!?

Sanevurin Witch only spans two volumes. It first serialized in Akita Shoten's Princess. Soya Yuka-sensei also created these shoujo manga, either for Princess or Princess Gold: Ozu to Saigo no Majo AKA Oz and the Last Witch (one volume published 2010.11), Rakuen no Blend (2006.10) and Toppen Kamuden e Youkoso (seven volumes compiled between 2000.08 and 2003.09).

I Love You Suzuki kun 14 and Love Lesson.com by Yuuhi Ryu (3L shoujo manga out nau~)

Street date: This week, although Angelzon sez it has had both 3L shoujo manga since Monday, 23 April 2012.

Note: My 99.99% certainty that I Love You, Suzuki kun!! volume 15 was the finale volume—see my SDSK vol 12 post—might've been a tad premature. Baka-Updates Manga lists the status in country of origin as 15 Volumes (Ongoing). So...

I Love You Suzuki kun 14, Love Lesson.com (Tiga Lancar Comic/3L)

Suki desu, Suzuki-kun!! © Ikeyamada Go/Shogakukan [Serialized in Sho-Comi] · Love Lesson.com © Yuuhi Ryu/Shogakukan [First serialized in Sho-Comi Zoukan]. Published in Indonesia as I Love You, Suzuki kun!! and Love Lesson.com by PT Tiga Lancar Semesta/Tiga Lancar Comic (3L)

...Gugel's mechanical translate of ついに第2部完結！！ Tsuini dai 2-bu kanketsu!! (Finally completed the second part!!) from the Japanese volume 14 preview likely only refers to the end of the second arc. (Now the volume 15 blurb reads: 最終章の幕が開く！！！！ ... 中学生から描かれてきたこのお話もついに高校3年生編＝最終章！！ Sai shūshō no makugaaku!!!! ... Chūgakusei kara egaka rete kita kono ohanashi mo tsuini kōkō 3-nensei-hen = saishū Fumi! !) [From Amazon Japan and 7Net]

Still, adding + after my volume tally and waiting for someone to independently confirm what the above means.

At any rate, in I Love You, Suzuki kun!! volume 14 —

Shinobu and Hikaru showdown, start-OH! Who will win this grudge match? And what of Sayaka who leaves her shoot to watch the battle, and Chihiro who has been glued to it since the start?

Which Suzuki-kun sez, Aku takkan memaafkanmu kalau kamu tidak mencintaiku...100 kali lipat dari rasa sukaku padamu!! (I will not forgive you if you don't love me... 100 times more than I love you!) GET! volume 14 for The Answer, or alternatively, check out 3L's comic blog and download the ILYSK PDF. (Hint: This line comes from MY favorite Suzuki :D)

Per usual, I Love You, Suzuki kun!! is rated for [DEWASA] or Mature audiences only. Same rating for the debuting Love Lesson.com by Yuuhi Ryu (Special Darling manga-ka), which I preview (and mini-review) after the two-point release list.

Adaptations
The first anime OAD was bundled with Sho-Comi's first 2010 issue (released 2009.12; chapter 1 reenactment), the second with the Suki desu Suzuki-kun!! Official Fanbook (shipped 2010.07; chapters 15 and 16 re-enactment; fanbook released by 3L in January 2012). Seiyuu Asakura Azumi, Oda Hirofumi, Iwasaki Ryō and Isshiki Mayu voiced Hoshino Sayaka, Suzuki Hikaru, Suzuki Shinobu and Itō Chihiro respectively.

Two light novels written by Tokiumi Yui and illustrated by Ikeyamada Go have also been released. The first, Suki desu Suzuki-kun!! Pure White Love (2009.12.24), detailed Hikaru and Sayaka's relationship during the couple's last year of middle school. The second Suki desu Suzuki-kun!! With Precious Heart light novel (2010.07.26) is set before the high school arc/between manga volumes 7 and 8.

A Nintendo DS game—Suki desu Suzuki-kun!! ~Yo-nin no Suzuki-kun—released in 2010.07. Per the title, the game introduces two new Ikeyamada-sensei designed characters also surnamed Suzuki: Suzuki Michiru (voiced by Hoshi Sōichirō) and Suzuki Hiroto (Nakamura Yūichi). Game versions of Sayaka, Hikaru, Shinobu and Chihiro were voiced by Takita Juri, Miyata Kōki, Kondou Takashi and Taketatsu Ayana. A limited edition of the Idea Factory game came with a drama CD featuring a story about the four main characters.

Changing Seat Game by Yumachi Shin and Touch by Your Kiss 2 of 2 (3L 10 April 2012 shoujo manga)

I don't know how many of you have been waiting for the Touch By Your Kiss finale, but personally, I'm more intrigued by the 3L debut Changing Seat Game, not only for the Namida Usagi vibes (if you squint), but more for the...innocence of the cover, something I don't expect from (mostly sm*t) manga-ka Yumachi Shin.

Changing Seat Game, Touch by Your Kiss 2 (Tiga Lancar Comic)

Sekigae Game © Yumachi Shin/Shogakukan [First serialized in Cheese!] · Kimi no Kiss de Furete. © KAORI/Shogakukan [First serialized in Cheese!]. Published in Indonesia as Changing Seat Game and Touch By Your Kiss by Tiga Lancar Semesta/3L Comic

Freshman year, high school. September. The seat change after summer lands me smack beside Mitsui, the guy who, rumor has it, likes me. Me? Slow me? It's just not possible!

So that's our Clumsy Protagonist with Low Self-Esteem Tamami agonizing over whether Mitsui-kun ~~needs glasses~~ likes her. (Thanks, Baka-Updates, for giving our heroine a name.) But Tamami really should ditch her issues, especially when we have it on good authority that Cool Male Lead Mitsui-kun falls in love first.

Gotten sugar shock yet? :) Changing Seat Game, originally Sekigae Game ex-Cheese!, is (still) safe for Teens, just like the other two Yumachi Shin shoujo manga 3L has published (which I passed up on), Colour of Love and Love at First Sight.

Scroll down if you want to know why I deemed Changing Seat Game somewhat a rarity among Yumachi Shin titles. For nau —

Touch by Your Kiss vol 2 of 2
By KAORI

My search for a soul mate ended when I entered senior high and met this uber kewl and hawt senpai. So now, everyday is an exercise in telling my racing heart to calm down because, you know, he actually reciprocates my feelings! I want to grow closer to him—or is that being too greedy? It must be, because why else would a trouble maker show up NOW to ruin everything?

The second and last Touch by Your Kiss, rated for a Mature or [DEWASA] audience, also contains two extra one-shots, Ai o shirane no? and Senpai no kanojo to, kōhai to.

☞ BTW, if you missed Takada Rie's Heart and Ikeyamada Go's Moe Kare!! the first time around, 3L is reprinting both series. Heart- and Moe Kare!! volume 2 street this week (the first volumes were reissued late March).
