Detektif Conan 67, Tokkyu 17, Dragon's Fiance 5 (Elex Media 23 May 2012 manga) [UPDATED]

Although for some strange reason, Dragon's Fiancé 5 didn't truck in to my neighborhood ECC today :P
This post is the pro tem Shopping List version; again, NikBabble™ edition when RL decides to let go its stranglehold. (As if the Indonesian Detektif Conan community didn't already know that volume 67 streets today...)
Updated retroactively and that's all Imma say :D

Conan and pals plunge into a case involving bomb threats to a shopping mall. While investigating, Conan glimpses Akai Shuichi, Okiya Subaru and Gin from the Black Organization.

Tokkyu!! vol 17 of 20
By Komori Yoichi & Kubo Mitsuro

No one doubts that Captain Sanada has no peer when it comes to rescues, but during a friendly match, his subordinates discover that he dons counterweights, not to improve stability (though there is prolly that) but to reduce his power!?

Sanada-sama saikyou! Elex also hypes the SAR rescues — equally exciting, some of them even taking place in Indonesian waters. Me? One word (or fruit, as the case may be): Salak. As for why... :D (Sankyuu~ @regular_ARI-san :D)

New Elex titles
Look forward to the next Doraemon Movie manga, Nobita dan Angin Ajaib (Eiga Doraemon: Nobita to fushigi kazetsukai or Nobita and the Wind Wizard) and the double launch of My Dear Princess AKA Chicken Cutlet Princess, the shoujo manhua from Lin Min-xuan whom Elex sez won the Golden Comic Awards' Best Girl Cartoon Award and Best Annual Comic Award in 2010. Previews after the release list.
