Nube 29, Crazy Girl Shin Bia 15, Hai, Miiko! Cilik by Ono Eriko (m&c! manga and manhwa out nau~) [UPDATED]

Street date: 11 July 2012
Albeit this m&c! list isn't the NikBabble™ version, warning that I rate volume 1 of Hwang MiRee's You Are My Everything a 6 of 10, or C+, which translates to a Borrow first if you're that intrigued. :p
Update: ‘Upgraded’ to NikBabble™ version

Jigoku Sensei Nube © by Makura Shou, Okano Takeshi/Shueisha [First serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump]. Published in Indonesia as Guru Ahli Roh Nube by Gramedia/m&c!

Nube's Training Period!?

Yup, m&c! only has that surprised Nube Masa Latihan?! yelp as its Nube 29 blurb (taken from the Jigoku Sensei Nube volume 29 title Nube ~Shugyou Jidai!? no Maki).

To lessen the pain of a one-liner after a wait of one year and eight months, lemme add the titles of Nube chapters 248 to 256 from Wikipedia: The Trial Jar, Nube's Training Period!?, I Want To Call You ‘Big Brother’!, Hiroshi, Become Micro!?, Spirit Charmer • Yan Kailun, Oni no Te, Fury!!, Clash!! Oni no Te vs. Oni no Te!!, The Wielder of the Oni no Te and The Youkai Circus is Here!

New m&c! titles: a new Hai, Miiko!
The m&c! editor enthuses over the previously unpublished Hai Miiko! story in the latest Hai Miiko! Cilik, actually the Miiko Selection Wide Ichinensei! Miiko-chan published by Shogakukan under Ciao Comics Special in March 2012.

Dem packed with 30 full-color pages and the chance to see Miiko's first day in elementary school ought to compensate for the wait-till-dunno-when Hai, Miiko! volume 25.

☞ A new Hwang MiRee manhwa—You Are My Everything—also premieres this street date, but you already know what I think of this debut (up ↑ there). So look for the preview after the jump (down ↓ there).

BTW, don't look for Flower of Queen 4—included in this m&c! list—here; it didn't street this week. (Haku... T^T) Apparently, it's been postponed to 20 June. Sankyuu~, Lina-chan for the info. Update: m&c! maintains that Flower of Queen 4 released per 5.30 plan, so reinstating until someone—prolly me—can confirm whether it is already out in the wild. (Gramed, here I come!)

New year finally rolls 'round, and Miiko has to stay at home with Momo? But what about going out with Mari-chan?

Will Miiko sneak out and leave Momo alone?

So we finally caught up with the Japanese Kocchi Muite! Miiko release. No sign yet of a volume 25 so look for the m&c! edition...next year.

If you're not all caught up with Ono Eriko's oh-so-popular Hai, Miiko!, don't fret. m&c! restocks volumes 1 to 23 this street date.

New m&c! titles
m&c! launches The Innocent, a Production I.G manga production that doesn't appear to have an anime version. The one-volume Detective, Reincarnation shounen supernatural drama credited its story to film producer Avi Arad (X-Men, Spider-Man and Iron Man), also chairperson of Production I.G's American arm, its script to Fujisaku Junichi and entrusted its art to Ko Yasung who illustrated Lost Seven. The Innocent serialized in Mag Garden's Comic Blade, just like Lost Seven.

Published in Indonesia by Gramedia/m&c!

Ambushed, Naoyoshi is separated from the Ogame warriors. Not just one but two rival schools target Naoyoshi for elimination. One of the ninja foes specializes in enemy paralysis...

See how Naoyoshi extricates himself from his dire predicament in Gamaran volume 5, out this week.

Fifteen Japanese Gamaran tankou have been compiled as of 17 April 2012. The 16th is expected to street in Japan this 15 June.

Before I get to the First Runner-up DO WANT!, which I'm lumping in with the rest of the m&c! newbies (because it is, sort of), penultimate spotlight —

Idol's Love Story vol 14 of 15
By Han YuRang

May contain    [SPOILERS!]

Choe Jang Gun fumes at the gall of the extortionist who reattempts blackmail to keep quiet about Lang Land's mom's diary, which reveals Lang Land's true parentage, especially as he and Lang Land are in the middle of celebrating their engagement.

Meanwhile, Lang Land struggles to forget her feelings for brother Ian who has exiled himself to Switzerland.

Will she succeed?

Han YuRang's Idol's Love Story has really mutated into your convoluted K-drama, but since I've already stuck with it this far, might as well finish it :P At any rate, I gave the predecessor Idol's Love Story volume (13)—which first trod down that I am your father! path AND forgave an assassin too easily—an 8/10♡ (A-); I wonder what grade this volume will get?

New m&c! shoujo titles
m&c! launches a pair of franchise energizers — Kumpulan Cerita Terbaik Miiko volume 5 (Miiko Selection ~Yunkyun Onnanoko no Naisho Hanashi-hen) by Ono Eriko, the latest For Every Girl!! Kocchi Muite!
