Crazy Girl Shin Bia 13 (m&c!)

Prince Mu Young unknowingly advances sage Ryuun's (evil) scheme when he delivers Bia to the guru. Upon setting foot on the sacred land, Bia is separated from Mu Young and meets a boy who resembles Crown Prince Yoo Baek.

Who is the child? What secret does the holy land hold? And what is old man Ryuun plotting? GET! the latest Crazy Girl Shin Bia for answers.

As I noted to myself after finishing the previous Crazy Girl Shin Bia (#12)—which I lurved by as much as 8.25 of 10♡ (an A minus grade equivalent)—if you're a prince in this world, whether named Mu Young or Yoo Baek (or Yoo Hui), you want Bia. But at least Mu Young wants Real!Shin Bia, which is waaay more than can be sed for Bia's fiancé Yoo Baek or Bia's fiancé's brother Yoo Hui. :P

Since m&c! obliged with an early artwork upload, LXO peeps hadn't yet managed to agree on the top m&c! DO WANT!, so spotlights here are arbitrary. (I read Crazy Girl Shin Bia and as of this writing, was the only one indicating it as a GET!, so...)

Canvas ~ Rainbow Sketch vol 3 of 4
By Kodama Miki, FC01FANDC. CO. JP

Nadeshiko Academy invites a professional artist to guest-teach. Yanagi Shin'ichiro turns out to be an old high school pal of Hiroki, and he knows why Hiroki gave up painting.

You don't have to attend Yanagi's lecture to get the lowdown on Hiroki's reason. Just grab the penultimate Canvas ~ Rainbow Sketch. :)

New m&c! titles: Shoujo, shoujo, and did I say, shoujo?

Welcome Chocolate Magic ~Creamy Sugar~, the third in Mizuho Rino's "Welcome to the Chocolate Noir. I sell chocolates that satisfy any desire. Anyone care to have a wish granted today?" Chocolate Magic horror series. Creamy Sugar follows Chocolate Magic and Chocolate Magic ~Bittersweet~. After Creamy Sugar there's still Shokora no Mahou volumes 4 to 6—Dark Spice, Evil Essence, Fruity Flavor—and whatever succeeds the sixth Ciao Horror Comics compile. (Don't know when m&c! will release 'em though.)

A new (short) series from Nanajima Kana, Never Say No, also double-launches, and Sugishippo's My Beloved Bodyguard debuts. Both Nanajima Kana's Childhood Friend, Older Female/Younger Male, Possessive Lover, Love Triangle Iyada Nante Iwasenai and Sugishippo's bullying-troped Ijimerarekko manga first serialized in Sho-Comi. Synops after the release list.
