Word is that Aoizaka Baseball Club volume 22 has been postponed, but as it still appears on m&c!'s lists, including it here anyway. «Update: Aoizaka Baseball Club 22 moved to 2012.07.04
[Idol School of Noble's Story] © Han YuRang/Samyang. Published in Indonesia as Idol's Love Story by Gramedia/m&c!
What does Choe Jang Gun think he's doing, convening the Freeman clan up to and including summoning Ian from Switzerland? If he's planning to disclose Lang Land's true parentage, isn't he torpedoing his and Lang Land's relationship into oblivion?
How will this K-drama ultimately end? Obviously, Land Lang lands in the arms of brother Ian, but GET! the Idol's Love Story Happy Even After to make sure. The Ian × Lang Land cover *could* still prove a bait and switch. (Though I very much doubt it.)
Before I get to the newb that tied with Idol's Love Story 15 for top DO WANT!, lemme just say that Han YuRang's sibcestuous manhwa isn't the only m&c! series to wrap this street date. The regular(?) OEL manga romance Vampire Kisses: Blood Relatives does, too, with volume 3. (But don't forget, after Blood Relatives volume 3 there's still VK: Graveyard Games, in which Claude—OK, getting too far ahead. Don't even know if m&c! has already licensed GG.)
Vampire Kisses: Blood Relatives vol 3 of 3
By Ellen Schreiber
Illustrated by Elisa Kwon
Raven and Alexander's plan to ‘evict’ Alexander's half-vamp cousin Claude from Dullsville is Epic #Fail. Claude and the gang have gotten their hands on the blood-filled vials—does this mean the full-blood undead population in Dullsville is set to asplode?
Because as HarperTeen's Vampire Kisses: Blood Relatives volume 3 preview shares, Claude joins forces with Raven's archenemy Trevor, and invitations soon go out for a vampire-themed masquerade party. Could Claude be scheming to turn all of the students at Dullsville High into vampires...?
Find the answer... where else? :P
☞ Oh! One more ending—and this HK manhua even has Serie Finale
on the cover to back it up. (Make what you will then of Volume 6 of 6
, which streeted last March.) It's Pedang Maha Dewa: Future volume 7 by Tony Wong. m&c! promises this "series finale" links the Pedang Maha Dewa and Fore Story sagas.

Justice - The Story of Wyatt Earp
by Gramedia/m&c!
The year, 1881. The place, the O.K. Corral. The most famous gunfight in the American Old West goes down, and when the smoke clears after 30 seconds (so reports say), only one lawman remains standing, pistol gripped firmly in hand. His name...
...is in the title.
Justice - The Story of Wyatt Earp, originally Seigi - Wyatt Earp Monogatari, started its Comic Historia serialization in 2010. Media Factory published the tankoubon under its MF Comics (Flapper Series) imprint in July 2011. m&c!'s edition credits the seinen manga on the cover solely to Naba Yuka — without mentioning writer Frosh (フロッシュ
) who IS credited »here and »here. Seigi - Wyatt Earp Monogatari is apparently Naba Yuka-sensei's debut tank; his/her Dunamis 15 only began its FlexComix Next run this year.
The other new manga are Chocolate Magic ~Dark Spice~, actually the fourth installment in Mizuho Rino's Chocolate Magic shoujo horror series, and Panzer Princess Punie ~Super Great Magical Gap~ by Ohwada Hideki which continues Magical Witch Punie-chan's adventures started in The Great Magical Gap AKA Dai Mahou Touge. m&c! also launches a couple of music and dance manhwa from Kenaz, JAM - Play the Music with Love 1 by Park MiSook and Wicked: Dance with Us 1 from Kim SooYong. Previews after the release list.
