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.)

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
m&c! launches only one new manga — Samurai 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.

Sengoku Basara - The Holy War In Dance 3 of 3, Penguin's Love by Fujio Nami, Your Eyes Speak To Me by Nanao Mio (m&c! manga out nau~)

Street date: 1 August 2012

To the final battle stage, hero-tachi!

Sengoku Basara: Ranse Ranbu © Shimotsuki Kairi/Media Factory [First serialized in Comic Sangokushi Magazine]. Published in Indonesia as Sengoku Basara ~The Holy War In Dance~ by Gramedia/m&c!.

One-Eyed Dragon Date Masamune and heir to Shingen's fire Sanada Yukimura join forces to take down Devil King Oda Nobunaga and end the evil daimyo's reign of atrocity.

Hmm. My adapt of m&c!'s final Sengoku Basara ~The Holy War In Dance~ blurb sounds nothing so much as a thematic intro. Ah, well. *shrugs* I guess that's as good a way to extro as any.

Sengoku Basara ~The Holy War In Dance~ isn't a lonely m&c! series saying Buh-bye~ this street date. Manhwa JAM: Play the Music with Love likewise wraps with volume 3. That preview comes later; for now, moving on to the manga and manhwa (and manhua) newbies that make up the bulk of this m&c! release.

New m&c! titles
As of writing, Penguin Love by Fujio Nami, Your Eyes Speak To Me by Nanao Mio and Sentimental Color 1 by Yoon Jeong were tied for first runner-up DO WANT! Penguin Love, originally Double Baby, first serialized in Betsucomi; Your Eyes Speak To Me or Sono Me, Kuchi Hodoni is ex-Cheese!. (All I know about Sentimental Color is that its domestic Korean publisher is SK Planet.) Since last week was a Nanao Mio asplosion, Fujio Nami's Penguin Love nabs this week's above the cut blog estate:

Double Baby © Fujio Nami
Shogakukan [Betsucomi]
Published in Indonesia as
Penguin Loveby m&c!.

Mei crushes on her school's Mr. Popular, Hagiwara. Unfortunately, Hagiwara treats Mei little better than ‘rubbish.’ One day, Mei meets Rui, a penguin lover who turns out to be Hagiwara's nephew. Order Sphenisciformes, family Spheniscidae specialist Rui sez Hagiwara resembles the flightless aquatic bird he (Rui) dotes on.

Will the ‘penguin’ ever reciprocate Mei's feelings?

(The so-called Hagiwara ‘penguin’ is prolly an Emperor species. :p)

Penguin Love compiles two more shorts, Clown Ballons and Hunting. TC resident manga critic Lina-chan sez BUY! (What else does an 8 of 10 read deserve?)

Look for Your Eyes Speak To Me, Sentimental Color 1 and other debuts—Family Rush 1 (Mashiroke Complex! 1) by Kuze Mizuki, Girl's Love Story (Kanojo to Kanojo no Renai) by Satori Tae, Sweet Love Cafe (Cafe ni wa Amai Wana) by Washio Mie and The Lady of The Lake Mirror by Tony Wong—after the jump.

One hundred percent sure Penguin Love or Double Baby is the first Fujio Nami manga published in Indonesia. (The manga-ka only debuted in 2010.) His/her other solo tankou—which streets 24 August in Japan—is the First Love- and sports-troped Kimi wa Toumei, also from Betsucomi. On the anthologies front, Fujio Nami-sensei contributed a one-shot to the April 2012 Betsucomi Best Selection omnibus Pure Love Seasons 1: Haru ~Hajimete~ top-billed by Yoshinaga Yuu (Distance to a Kiss or Kiss made no Kyori manga-ka).

Restocks: Bleach
Still looking to complete your early Bleach collection, specifically, volumes 1 to 20? m&c! affords you another opportunity window, and restocks the first 20 tanks. (FYI, the latest m&c! Bleach is Vol. 47: End of the Chrysalis Age. In Japan, the newest tank is Vol. 55 The Blood Warfare, released in June. Vol. 56 only streets 4 September.)
