Death Note 12 of 12, Gata-Pishi 1, Holy Crystal Albatross 1, St. Cattleya Private Primary School: m&c! 22 September 2008 manga

RL refused to give me a break. Literally. Well, whatever the excuse, this delayed list of m&c! manga, manhwa, and manhua (some additions!) reportedly stretches to cover releases till the end of the month. Word is that m&c! (the whole Gramedia group, actually) won't be coming out with any more titles next week. The Idul Fitri holidays, you know.

That sed, it still looks like Long Hu Men 152 and St. Cattleya Private Primary School 2 haven't reached stores yet. But if these have and you know about it, kindly leave me a comment.

BTW, An Ancient Love Story (Nante Suteki ni Japanesque: Hitozumahen; thanks, Jasmine-san for clueing me in to the original title) and Pedang Mahadewa Fore Stories II make it into this schedule again as their release was postponed from the previous week. Don't ask me why; I don't know.

Summaries of selected new titles after the list.
