Black Swindler 5, Rainbow 9, AirGear 6, LIFE 12 (Level Comics 23 December 2008 manga)

Lovesit when speculations come true: three of the Level December Possibles I listed—3X3 Eyes volume 23, AirGear 6, and Rainbow 9—are going to be released this month, next Tuesday, to be exact.

But over, above, beyond, and beside the smirks for guessing right are the sheepish grins for the manga installments not advised but nevertheless made it to this list: Life 12 and the Most Popular Get! of this sked—Kurosagi: The Black Swindler volume 5.

(The ever-regular Hajime no Ippo 60 and the monthly HanaLaLa—Issue 33 with the double Fruits Basket chapter—are the only ones truly skedded for a December release.)
