Street date: 11 August 2012, the last manga release sked before the Idul Fitri break. Regular deliveries reboot 31 August, if not, 5 September 2012.
Update: Moving Samurai Darling Masamune—deets, NikBabble™, teh whole shebang—to 31 August 2012, per m&c! advisory. (I warned you there was a possibility of that premiere's delay. On the off-chance you nabbed a copy already, then good for you, but m&c! and at least two other online book shops have pegged Samurai Darling Masamune's release as 31 August.)

Shogakukan [First serialized in Sho-Comi]
Published in Indonesia as I Give My First Love to You by Gramedia/m&c!
Having someone you like is an incredible feel. Your days are filled by thoughts of her, just her. But if she's with me... only tears await Mayu. That's why, on the day we graduate from grade school, I have to gaze my fill of Mayu. Because that could well be the last time I see her.
*Wail!* Takuma's still fighting fate (and a bad heart) in the second I Give My First Love to You tank, which compiles Keep that hanky handy! 6th through 10th fortunes: First Love Storm,
Rendezvous,
Punishment,
Height Comparison
and Dream.
A bonus Data File
closes the volume (and a Yori × Iku cameo ambushes inside :D).
Finales
We bid buh-bye to three manhwa and one manhua series — The Breaker (with volume 10), Sentimental Color (volume 2), Wicked: Dance with Us (volume 3) and Ice Fantasy (also volume 3). The first two get Before the Jump blog estate for previews because they're the first runner-up DO WANT! (Look for the rest after the cut.)

The Breaker Vol 10 of 10
By Jeon KeukJin & Park JinHwan
Koo Ryong Moon loses all vestiges of humanity, turning him into an unstoppable monster. Can former bully victim and present disciple Lee Shi Woon restore his master's consciousness?
If you still want Breaker action, poke m&c! for the sequel The Breaker: New Waves. Four volumes have been released in Korea as of June this year, and it's still running in Daum (or so sez Baka-Updates Manga).

New m&c! titles m&c! launches only one new manga — Samurai Darling Masamune ex shoujo-bordering-on-josei Petit Princess. Caveats: (1) This is the *second* volume of Yoshida Ikaru's Samurai Darling series; (2) It may be postponed (in some places) because it doesn't appear in the distribution release list (AKA STO 11 August 2012 Excel file). Check your fave Gramed to make sure. «Update: Moved to after the Idul Fitri holidays.
