Nodame does what to Chiaki?! (You'll have to wait for Elex's Nodame Cantabile 21 manga this 8 July to find out)

WARNING: Treat as   SPOILER!!!

Also among the 8 July 2009 releases: Eyeshield 21 volume 27, C.M.B. 10, Dragon Drive 14 of 14, Touch 17, Golden Days 4, and exactly five others (including a monthly manga anthology).

Nodame regardless, Eyeshield 21 volume 27 cops the Most Popular Manga GET! of Elex's Election Day releases (Indonesia goes to the polls next Wednesday to vote for a new president and vice-president).

Katou Motohiro-sensei's C.M.B. 10 trails ES21 27 as next most favored GET! Both shounen manga are synopses-MIA in Komikologi, but the VIZ blurb for the same ES21 volume has Sena banking on some of his slickest moves to help him outmaneuver Ojo's ace Shin. (To follow the Kobayakawa Sena VS Shin Seijuro duel, go grab ES21 27.)

Other continuing series—Nodame Cantabile, Golden Days, Touch, Eat-Man, and the concluding Dragon Drive—fared better in the Komikologi blurbs:

Nodame Cantabile 21
Nodame, deeply upset upon learning that Chiaki and Son Rui are going to play the composition Nodame has always wanted to perform —   SPOILER!!!

—proposes to Chiaki! Chiaki, however, doesn't take Nodame's proposal seriously.

What is Nodame supposed to do now?

Need I say that ITA with Elex designating this volume MHM (Must-Have Manga)?

Dragon Drive [Finale]
Araki, with the help of Gen-ryu, successfully transforms into black Raikou-oh and attacks the other Raikou-oh to restore Gen-Ryu into the world. Takumi and Raikou-oh and Reiji and Chibi might have gotten more than they bargained for in this battle to save the future of two worlds.

The remaining synopses after the list but before that — mangazines. Issue 61 of Shonen Magz (Indonesian Shounen Magazine) goes on sale 7 July. The front cover is Sanzoku Ou by Sawada Hirofumi-sensei.
