Street date: 7 August 2012, Tuesday, not Wednesday, the first of a two-part manga release before the Idul Fitri holiday break.
I'll get to Most Wanted Bambino! Secondo in a moment (read: I don't have a big enuf Bambino! Secondo 5 cover, so it's not the lead pix). First, let's take a look at the Lady in the Box
(Dark Edge volume 5):
Dark Edge © Aikawa Yu
MediaWorks [First serialized in Dengeki Comic Gao!]
Published in Indonesia by Level Comics
Takagi Kuro volunteers to take Nishiwaki Rui's place, trusting that his friends will soon bust him out of the coffin. Unfortunately for Kuro, they all forget about his existence, save for Ise who hatches up a plan with Tsuchiya and Sato to get Kuro out. What Ise doesn't know is the the two teachers have their own agenda...
Seems cognitive dissonant to segue to pasta after Nosferatu and zombies, but... *sheepish grin*
Bambino! Secondo vol 5 (of 11+)
By Sekiya Tetsuji
Ban's hard trudge pays off. He finally manages to track down the legendary Yokohama waiter who agrees to return to active restaurant duty on Ban's insistence. But can the legend's magic save Legare?
Eleven Bambino! Secondo volumes have been collected in Japan as of June 2012; the 12th streets on 28 September.
I should've back-to-backed this next DO WANT! with Dark Edge 5, but... *sheepish grin, the sequel*
March Story vol 2 (of 4+)
By Kim HyungMin & Yang KyungIl
During an Ill exorcism mission, March meets fellow hunter Belma, but wishes she didn't. Belma's weapon Scarecrow, capable of producing illusions to entrap Ill, turns on March. Not only that, even Belma believes March is an Ill, and an inevitable clash ensues.
Meanwhile, the real Ill target is...
...getting away?
You can revisit the March Story premise, if you missed it when it debuted. I gave the first March Story a grade of 8 of 10♡, equivalent to an A-. I wonder what the second volume would get?
