Also, Tokkyu!! 18, in a three-way tie for top DO WANT! with Arakure 6 and the second Sky Blue Square. Had to lead with Touma Rei's one-volume Maid in Love (originally Tsukushite Agemasu ex-Cheese!) because it's the only one with a big enuf cover. Additionally, along with Topeng Kaca: Bersatunya Dua Jiwa 1—Glass no Kamen volume 47—Maid in Love has been waiting for official release since last week.
I'll do my Ganbaruzo! best to fill in the NikBabble™ for this Elex shopping list but warning you nau that chances are Very High that I might not be able to. Me and RL are still in negotiations :p «Update: I yielded some, RL conceded the rest, hence...
Tsukushite Agemasu © Touma Rei/Shogakukan
[First serialized in Cheese!]
Published in Indonesia as Maid in Love by Elex Media
Yuzuko and her gal pals make plans to try out a nearby café famous for its maid and butler wait staff — who treat customers as if they were rich heirs or heiresses if not out-and-out royalty. But on the way, Yuzuko runs afoul of a thug and is forced to flee for dear life. Fortunately, a beautiful maid comes to her rescue and makes Yuzuko's heart go thumpity-thump...!?
Apparently, Yuzuko had insulted the bruiser after her, and the beauteous Maid (in Love??) who saves her is none other than the high school hottie Itsuki.
Or so sez Baka-Updates Manga in its Tsukushite Agemasu description.
Aside from the title story, Maid in Love contains side stories When Fireworks End
and My Hysteric Girl.

✏ Other Touma Rei manga
Before publishing Maid in Love or Tsukushite Agemasu, Elex introed Touma Rei-sensei through her collab with TAKUYA-sensei, the game-based Hoshiiro no Okurimono released here as Star Color Present. But she is prolly most famous for the droolicious Reimei no Arcana, also serialized in Cheese!. (Nine Reimei no Arcana tankou have been compiled in Japan as of January this year; JP volume 10 streets next week, on 26 June. Level publishes the popular series as Dawn of the Arcana; latest volume 6 released mid-April.)
Not yet licensed, I don't think, are S no Yuiitsu M no Zettai (JP release: 2007.08) and Boku wa Kiss de Uso wo Tsuku (two Cheese! Flower Comics tankou compiled between September and December 2008).
Touma Rei-sensei also illustrated Otome Nadeshiko Love Diary, the light novel series written by Miyama Kunoe and published under Shogakukan's FCα Lululu Novels label (two volumes released from November 2011 to January 2012).

Arakure: The Wild Ones vol 6 of 10
By Fujiwara Kiyo
Sachie's new teacher Chigusa-sensei turns out to be a childhood playmate known for being a crybaby, who was forced to transfer schools because of little Sachie. Teach Chigusa hasn't forgotten the affront and plans to take revenge on Sachie and Igarashi — who have a secret they would *die* to keep under wraps.
I will stop you, whatever it takes! But can Igarashi protect Sachie (and himself) from Chigusa-sensei's predations?
Arakure: The Wild Ones volume 6 compiles chapters 28 to 33.
Moar previews after the release list.

Adaptations
At least three Glass no Kamen anime adaptations have been produced: The first by Eiken, spanning 23 episodes, aired between April and September 1984 on Japan's NTV. Seiyuu Katsuki Masako voiced Kitajima Maya, Matsushima Minori as Maya's rival Himekawa Ayumi, Nakanishi Taeko as Maya's mentor Tsukikage Chigusa and Nozawa Nachi as businessman Hayami Masumi.
TMS Entertainment produced the next anime, a three-episode OAV Garasu no Kamen: Sen no Kamen wo Motsu Shōjo (Glass Mask: The Girl Who Wears A Thousand Masks), released December 1998. The OAV retelling of the first three manga arcs featured a different voice cast: Ogata Megumi (Maya), Matsui Naoko (Ayumi), Toda Keiko (Tsukikage) and Kosugi Juurouta (Hayami).
TMS remade the series in 2005, this time casting Kobayashi Sanae, Yajima Akiko, Fujita Toshiko and Morikawa Toshiyuki as Maya, Ayumi, Tsukikage and Hayami, with the 1984 anime Maya returning as Ayumi's mother, Himekawa Utako. Fifty-one episodes aired between April 2005 and March 2006 on TV Tokyo.
The live-action version adapting the first 38 manga volumes ran for two seasons on TV Asahi (Season 1: July to September 1997, 11 episodes; Season 2: April to June 1998, 12 episodes), with the Season 1 episode 12 airing on 30 September 1999 (the Special Ending
). The TV drama Seasons 1-2 cast comprised Adachi Yumi as Maya, Matsumoto Megumi as Ayumi, Nogiwa Yoko as Tsukikage and Tanabe Seiichi as Hayami. All reprised their roles for the Special Ending except Ayumi's actor (replaced by Nakamura Aimi).
