release highlights

Penultimates
You already know from the post title that the Dan Doh!! sequel finishes its Indonesian publication run this 12 November. Three more titles are about to conclude: the Two Princesses (Princess Dog and Cavalier Princess) and a shounen commoner, Cop in Tokyo (volume 7 of 8).

Technorati tags
manga, manhua, manhwa, josei, seinen, shoujo, shounen, soonjung, Elex Media, Nakayoshi, Shonen Magz, Ahiru no Sora, Cavalier Princess, Charming Junkie, C.M.B., Cop in Tokyo, Dan Doh!! Xi, Eyeshield 21, Fairy Tail, Her Majesty's Dog, Kamen Rider Spirits, Mr. Fullswing, Pikupiku Sentarou, Princess, Qi Shi Gong Zhu, Souryuuden, Tail of the Moon, Tsubasa, Tsuki no Shippo, Katou Motohiro

By genre
Half shounen (there are nine). Shoujo and soonjung only account for five titles out of 17, with one manga each for seinen (Kamen Rider Spirits 4) and josei (the awaited Sentarou 30).

By publisher
As blatantly hinted at by the day-before release of Nakayoshi and Shonen Magz, you could've already deduced that Kodansha would pwn this sked. Five of the tankō list—Ahiru no Sora, C.M.B., Fairy Tail, Souryuuden, and Tsubasa—are/were serialized in Shounen Magazine, versus two apiece from Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump (Eyeshield 21, Mr. Fullswing) and Shogakukan's Shonen Sunday (Cop in Tokyo, Dan Doh!! Xi).
