In the wicked cool
(according to one of this blog's commenters) and Must-Have (so sez Level) 
Rainbow seinen manga world of Abe George- and Kakizaki Masasumi-sensei, the six minors have taken decisive steps into adulthood: Now a soldier, a pro wrestler, a "personal banker," a singer, a lawyer, and a professional boxer, the former Building 2 Cell 6 inmates struggle to keep their dreams alive — and finally grasp happiness.
Whether happiness continues to remain within reach, however, is another story.
Meanwhile, a uniform trail (that's a trail of clothing worn by members of the same organization or body or by children attending certain schools,
not unchanging in form and character --Oxford American Dictionary) leads to a high school girl's naked dead body in volume 5 of the shounen psychological mystery Psychometrist Eiji.
What's with the corpse with the freaky smile on her face? And who is this Poison
who lures people to their deaths with hallucinogenic fungi? Tell me once you've snagged your copy of the latest Psychometrist Eiji (I still have to get caught up with the preceding volumes).
EDIT: Eiji (and Shima) get their own post. Here.
Still one more synopsis (ex Komikologi)—for Yoshimura Akemi-sensei's standalone Bad Guy or Warui Otoko. It's after the manga list.

Bad Guy by Yoshimura Akemi
Originally Warui Otoko (Shogakukan Flower Comics) Designation: Must-Have Manga
Harumi couldn't have been happier; the "domestic goddess" leads an idyllic life with husband Shinichi. Her pink iro bubble, however, bursts (as it was bound to) when hubby's ex-girlfriend enters the picture. What will happen to Harumi's (clichéd) married life now?
Gotta love 'em tropes... BTW, if the trouble's coming from the ex, why is this titled Warui Otoko
? Why not Warui Onna
? Or is there something we don't know about Shinichi? (I should probably quit the pointless speculating, if only to assure myself that I'm not as witless as all that.)
BTW, I'm assuming that this picture below (which appears on the back cover of the Level edition) is Harumi:
