Adachitoka and Kawashima Tadashi's Alive - Saishuu Shinka teki Shounen volume 11 ties with Morinaga Ai's My Heavenly Hockey Club volume 9 for the Most Wanted GET! this m&c! manga release. The fourth and final Born to Cook (Mister Ajikko II) checks in at #2 in the popularity stakes, while the conclusion to Hoshino Wakako's Zig + Zag nabs third place.

And while there were no votes for it at the EMO forum when I last checked, I know someone once asked on this blog when the latest installment of Youn JiWoon's Ghost Tales manhwa was going to come out (the last release was in February 2008). Wonder no more, volume 4 releases this Wednesday, March 4.

New manga The Silence in the Daylight is not The Sound of Love. There's another Kawamura Eri manga asplosion detonating here, albeit a mini one (three scheduled). The fourth standalone, The Sound of Love, however, is not Kawamura-sensei's; it's from Nagaoka Yoshiko-sensei, the other manga-ka whose works' licenses must've been an Akita Shoten historical shoujo manga package deal with those of Kawamura-sensei. (Don't take me literally; I don't really know.)

m&c! manga, manhua, and manhwa (2009.03.04)
