Street date: 20 June 2012
Does anyone really care which Asari-chan m&c!'s Asari-chan is? Muroyama Mayumi's Tentoumushi Comics Short stories about Asari, a naughty, boyish, voracious, but also a very innocent girl
was originally published by Elex way back when, but I doubt the m&c! iteration is either of the sequels Yorinuki Asari-chan or Tobikiri Tokusen Asari-chan. At any rate, even m&c!'s FB admin admits to knowing nothing beyond this is a new version, total volumes to be confirmed.
But going by the m&c! cover—from Asari-chan volume 77—it could belong to the ongoing original, which means 19 volumes separate it from current Asari-chan volume 97. That's what I'm assuming, at least, until someone tells me otherwise.
At any rate (the second part), Bleach 47! (Also, NikBabble™ added)
