Published in Indonesia as Lost Man, Red River and Until Death Do Us Part by Level Comics

Top Level DO WANT! this week is Takashige Hiroshi & DOUBLE-S' Until Death Do Us Part volume 11, in which A Certain Praetorian cameos (well, not just a cameo :p):

Mamoru struggles to cut through Wiseman's minions, what with teh boss having analyzed Mamoru's fighting style and feeding his underlings the info. Fortunately, Komura's henchmen—who want in on the action—take Mamoru's bait. Mamoru corners Komura, but is intercepted by the man nicknamed The Shield of Aegis!

Aegis' guest appearance explains the connection Baka-Updates Manga and Wiki drew between Aegis in the Dark (Yami no Aegis) and alternate story Until Death Do Us Part. (UDDUP also crosses over with Takashige Hiroshi-sensei's Alcbane (Daiba Tatsumi, anyone?) and and is an alternate story to Jesus, which stars a high-profile assassin from the same duo that collabed on Aegis in the Dark.)

For a change of pace and capitalizing on the Euro fever—

Lost Man vol 11 (of 16+)
By Kusaba Michiteru

Man U flies to Spain for a showdown with Real Madrid, currently ranked first in the Champions League group stage. Real ace Saule scores the first goal, prompting the Simpson-Matsumoto twosome to renew attack.

Sixteen Lost Man tankou have been compiled as of 30 May 2012; the 17th streets in Japan on 29 June.
