Chelciejo Anime Collection: Therefore Please Choose Me 1 and 2 by Minase Ai, The Breaker 7, My Handsome Pet by Miyake Madoka (m&c! 16 May 2012 manga and manhwa)

m&c! was nice enuf to upload the artwork early, so here ya go :)

Dakara Ore ni Shina yo © Minase Ai/Shogakukan [First serialized in Sho-Comi]. Published in Indonesia as Therefore, Please Choose Me by Gramedia/m&c!

If one were to count—even subtracting the hyperbole—Kanata has confessed his love to Hina at least a hundred times. No mean feat that. Unfortunately for Kanata, Hina has never seen him as more than a childhood friend. Still, Kanata never expected to lose Hina, especially not to Shugo!

After four-week hiccup, m&c! finally double-launches Minase Ai's Therefore, Please Choose Me, originally Dakara Ore ni Shina yo serialized in Sho-Comi (starting 2008, a year before Kyaaa~! Narumi~♡ Namida Usagi ~Tears of First Love~ launched).

Your Mileage Will Most Likely Vary—especially if you absolutely lurve, lurve, LURVE! NamiUsa, or anything of Minase Ai-sensei—but I have issues with Therefore, Please Choose Me. So don't read my impressions of the Delinquents, Gangs, Childhood Friends, Love Triangle series »hidden here.

Therefore, Please Choose Me by Minase Ai: Snap-review
Contains [SPOILERS!]

Yes, I get that Girls want Bad Boys, I do. But this is one time I sooo wanted the Unlucky Osananajimi to win, especially as he is moar heroic. Contrast Kanata with not my choice jerk hero who delivers TDTL Hina to the bad guys and *watches*—for. Too. Long!—before getting off his b*tt and saving her. That to me was Shugo's irredeemable sin, the reason for why I couldn't give this two-volume manga more than a 6 of 10, or a C+.

Verdict: Borrow if you must.

☞ Scroll down for the preview to Therefore, Please Choose Me volume 2 and/or if you're interested in other Minase Ai shoujo manga m&c! has published, or titles it—or some other Indonesian publisher—has yet to license. (I'll get to the other m&c! debuts in a moment.) I know fans of The Breaker are already getting antsy.

The Breaker vol 7 of 10
By Jeon KeukJin & Park JinHwan

Koo Moon Ryong opts for the unexpected to save the life of disciple Lee Shi Woon. Thus kicks off a battle unprecedented in fighting history.

The Breaker only goes up to volume 10, but sequel The Breaker: New Waves is already on its third volume as of April 2012 and is still running. Or breaking. Whatever :P

New m&c! titles
Premiering alongside Minase Ai's Therefore, Please Choose Me are My Handsome Pet (Pet wa Binyanko) by Miyake Madoka, also an ex-Sho-Comi serial, as well as Catching your Love (Sawatari-san o Kouryaku suru Houhou) by Morita Yuki, the latter first serialized in for young girls (about 9–15 years old) Ciao, rivals with Shueisha's Ribon and Kodansha's Nakayoshi.

Completing the newbies is Ice Fantasy 1 that despite the title is actually a manhua from Andy Seto (City of Darkness), from a story by Guo JingMing. And unlike when City of Darkness premiered, Imma preview Andy Seto's latest (as well as Morita Yuki's Catching your Love) below the release list. Above the Cut blog estate goes to Miyake Madoka's My Handsome Pet:

Shy girl Ruho has a secret. She keeps a cat named Kuro in the garden behind the school. One day while calling Kuro, a bishie answers. "Kuro here...!"

Whuck!?

Other Miyake Madoka manga
Before publishing My Handsome Pet or Pet wa Binyanko, m&c! released Miyake Madoka's Watashi no Tonari ni Cute na Kimi, retitling it The Cute One Beside Me and issuing the one volume as part of last year's Love is Everywhere attack. Telor Ceplok reviewer Lina-chan gave The Cute One Beside Me a grade of 8 of 10♡.

Miyake Madoka-sensei is not what you call a prolific manga-ka and her/his backlist (at the time of this writing) only contained three titles and one participation in a shoujo omnibus. The third title, Bitter na Kokuin, was published here in Indonesia by 3L Comics as Bitter Stamp With A Die; the (unlicensed) Sho-Comi Men's Collection antho to which Miyake Madoka contributed was Neko Kare Kūru (Flower Comics tankou per 2010.07.26) headlined by Minami Kanan (KyouKoi).
