New series

Libero Revolution!
by Tanaka Motoyuki
EX probably has the best synopsis of this Shonen Sunday-serialized volleyball manga—better than any I can dream up even on my most inspired day—so here it is:

LIBERO REVOLUTION features Mikimoto Kaname, a young man with a flair for volleyball. Bearing a grudge against famed the volleyball school Fujiwara Gakuen, which didn't acknowledge his skills as an attacker, he has wound up at Seikai high school, the one school that took a set from Fujiwara, except it turns out to be the wrong Seikai high school. To his great disappointment, this school's volleyball team turns out to be full of fluffy young men with no real volleyball drive or sense.

The following Sailor Fuku ni Onegai! summary is my translation of the Indonesian version by Elex.

Sweet God
Sailor Fuku ni Onegai! by Tanaka Meca

Accidental vandal Matsumoto Hinagiku's homerun ball smashes into the shrine behind her school, which results in her promotion to "God substitute" status, if the guardian dog that appears before her is to be believed. Her credulity stretches into belief when she is attacked and a samurai and the white guardian dog manifest to help her.
