Ceddy-san! (Oops, I meant, Gerald-sama! :p)

Usui's older brother arrives from England and Misaki can't believe how much he resembles Usui. What does he, the brother, want?

For one, Gerald sends henchman Ceddy to spy on Usui and Misaki. Two, he's not above threatening to ‘harm’ Misaki if that's what it takes to tear her away from Usui. Point No. 2, of course, gives our hentai uchuu-jin© Takumi-sama a reason to go Alpha mode, ON! on Big Bro. xD

My Sweet Kaicho 12 spans episodes 51 to 55 and as a bonus, at the end of the volume, you can discover the hidden side of...Ikkun.

Goong [Palace Story] vol 27 of 27
By Park SoHee

When His Majesty takes ill, Shin takes over and is soon buried under an avalanche of kingly duties. ChaeKyeong, meanwhile, leads her own (separate) life and even—horrors!—starts dating another guy.

All hope of Shin×ChaeKyeong seems lost, yet...

Don't miss the end of Goong [Palace Story]. Volume 27 out nau~.

(Lemme reiterate that I'm still wondering why there's a 궁 28—Goong 28—[below]. Anyone? Explanation and/or translation of the Korean description welcome. *directs you to the comments section*)

Aside from Goong, Runway Sweetheart also ends—with volume 3—but for some reason, its preview is exactly the same as volume 2's. For simplicity, I suggest consulting my penultimate snap synops and applying extended reasoning at will for the finale. :D

Now let's move to the newbies.

New m&c! titles
Sixty percent of the titles m&c! listed are premieres. Magical Witch Punie-chan's adventures continue in Ohwada Hideki's Panzer Princess Punie ~Super² Great Magical Gap~, essentially the third volume of Dai Mahou Touge first serialized in Kadokawa's Shounen Ace. That's all the NikBabble™ you're going to get because, as with Runway Sweetheart, it shares the thematic descript with preceding Super Great Magical Gap.

On the shoujo front — Shiiba Nana's Love Share (ex-Betsucomi), the first Kumagai Kyoko manga m&c! has licensed (if I'm not mistaken), Scarlet Fan ~The Tale of Eternal Love~ 1 (originally Ayakashi Hisen, ongoing serialization in Sho-Comi) and the "Nightmares That Fuel Nursery Rhymes" antho Story from the Darkness by Imai Yasue (Hontou wa Kowai Nippon no Douyou ex-Ciao). Two-thirds of the manhwa streeting are also new: 100% Perfect Girl 1 by Wann and A Kiss for Money 1 by Hwang MiRee, first published by Samyang as 5 Cheon Won Man Jumyeon Kisseuhae Juneon Nom.

Since Kumagai Kyoko's horror / romance / drama Scarlet Fan got the most DO WANT! votes, that preview is up here. (Look for the rest after the jump.)

Scarlet Fan ~The Tale of Eternal Love~vol 1 (of 5+)
By Kumagai Kyoko

"I am ready to sacrifice my life for you..."

With Ryo who's willing to lay his life on the line for her, Miku investigates why ghosts attack her. But when she gets too close to the truth, Ryo is cursed by the spirit of Shirabyoshi.

What lies in Ryo and Miku's past that brings the pair to this point?

As with all Kumagai Kyoko's shoujo series to date, Ayakashi Hisen serialized—serializes—in Sho-Comi. Five tankou have been released in Japan as of 26 July 2012.

Other Kumagai Kyoko manga
Scarlet Fan ~The Tale of Eternal Love~ appears to be m&c!'s first Kumagai Kyoko manga (99% sure). But it's not the first Kumagai Kyoko title we've seen around these parts. 3L published the three-volume Hatsumei Princess (as Inventive Princess); the five-tank Houkago Orange or Orange After School; and two-volumers Ichigo Jikan, Sorairo Ageha (Sky Blue Ageha) and Stand Up!!!!.

Faster than a Kiss 3, Dragon's Fiance 4, Ciuman Dewa 9 (Elex Media 28 March 2012 manga) [UPDATED]

Update: No longer "just a list" :p

Ryuu no Hanawazurai © Kusakawa Nari/Hakusensha [First serialized in LaLa]. Published in Indonesia as Dragon's Fiancé by Elex Media

Kwan's condition improves, but not enough to allow Shakuya's fiancé to move (much less dance a celebratory jig). Shakuya is so worried about his recovery that Kwan... is ‘forced’ to kiss her!

Meanwhile, our anxious dragon's other—first—fiancé Lushin suffers from sudden pains. Whether these stem from heartache or something else remains to be seen, but for sure, they bode...

Lushin recovering his memories? :P

For those of you who followed Dragon's Fiancé in HanaLaLa, this fourth volume compiles chapters 15 through 20, which means you're safe if you've read all the way till HanaLaLa's last issue (Indonesian serialization only reached up to chapter 26, bound in volume 5).

As for the top DO WANT!, a "Devil"’s whisker's vote more than Dragon's Fiancé 4—

Faster than a Kiss vol 3 of 10+
By Tanaka Meca

Newly-married Fumino and Ojiro-sensei should be living teh happy life, but RL chaos puts paid to any shot at wedded bliss. What's more, Ojiro-sensei's little brother Shoma shows up at the school cultural festival, and relations between the siblings seem somewhat...strained.

It's gonna get stranger when Shoma pays a visit to Ojiro mansion and finds... «!!!» (Catch the fireworks exploding in Faster than a Kiss vol 3, finally streeting after a two-week delay.)

Faster than a Kiss 3 compiles (slow) Love.8 through 12. Ten Kiss Yori mo Hayaku tankou have been published in Japan as of December 2011.

New Elex titles
