Bloody Monday © Ryumon Ryou & Megumi Kouji/Kodansha
[First serialized in Weekly Shonen Magazine]
Published in Indonesia by Level Comics
Kamishima Shimon is dead. J escapes with Fujimaru's help. On the surface it looks like the terrorists lost. With J's hints, Fujimaru manages to learn the true meaning of Bloody Monday.
But he remains oblivious to the spy in their midst.
Speaking of detecting, anyone notice it's an Amagi Seimaru manga over on the Elex 6.27 front, and Ryumon Ryou's here? *cough*Kibayashi Shin*cough* Ah, well, no biggie if you didn't.
The penultimate Bloody Monday releases, so I should also tell you that the sequel of the sequel—Bloody Monday - Last Season—also wrapped in Japan mid-May. Time to pressure Level, I say, for (at least) Bloody Monday Season 2. :D
Also speaking of finales—
