Yugo in Yokohama - Yokosuka (Level Comics)

Yugo - Yokohama Yokosuka-hen © Akana Shu & Makari Shinji / Kodansha [Serialized in Evening]. Published in Indonesia as Yugo The Negotiator in Yokohama - Yokosuka by Level Comics

Yugo's latest commission takes him deep into the Marunouchi Project, a covert civilian venture that aims to secure nuclear superpower status for Japan. The Japanese government receives information that China has learned of the nuke scheme.

Can Yugo convince the Chinese that the Marunouchi Project doesn't and has never existed?

Yugo in Yokohama - Yokosuka volume 1 opens the fifth Yugo II side story Yokohama Yokosuka-hen, after Yugo - Shimokita Peninsula (Yugo: Shimokita Hantou-hen), Yugo in Tsushima, Kitakyushu (Yugo: Kitakyushu Tsushima-hen), Yugo in Tokyo - Tanegashima (Yugo: Tokyo Tanegashima-hen) and Yugo in Osaka (Yugo: Osaka-hen).

After this—well, after Yokohama - Yokosuka volume 2 neway—is another two-volumer, Yugo: Toyako Summit-hen. As for what comes after Toyako Summit-hen...I'll get to that when Level releases its version. :)

Elsewhere, the quest for Solomon's Jar continues in:
Iliad vol 11 of 15
By Uoto Osamu & Toshusai Garaku:

Thanks to the ruler of Medina of Tétouan, Iriya and Rocca reach the labyrinth beneath the city. Fearing for their safety, Yuri sends a bodyguard after them, little suspecting that the supposed protector is actually an assassin!
