Conan 55, Naruto 46, Tsubasa 11, Topeng Kaca Bidadari Merah 10, HanaLaLa 43, School Rumble 3, Flash of Wind 26 (Elex 28 and 30 October 2009 manga)

Updated with the HanaLaLa 43 cover

Naruto © Kishimoto Masashi/Shueisha

It sez 2009 10 28 on the downloadable STO file, but komikelex clarifies that Aoyama Gosho's Detektif Conan (Meitantei Conan) volume 55 is slated to hit bookstores and newsstands on the 30th.

In this volume of the quintessential shounen tantei manga, the so-called leader of the Shounen Tantei-dan Genta is accused of roughing up a foreigner, after said bystander tells off Genta for kicking a soccer ball at an innocent car (the team the Detective Boys had been supporting lost). We can also look forward to Ran discovering that her mother is guilty of... adultery?! [Synopsis adapted from this Wikipedia article]

Naruto 46 by Kishimoto Masashi

Konoha turns into a battlefield! In Naruto's absence, an entire Shinobi village attacks and victims continue to pile up. Kakashi who has used up all his chakra now has to face Tendo.

Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle 11 by CLAMP

The green light switches on for the Dragonfly Race in the country of Piffull (or Piffer, if you go by the Chuang Yi version). With Sakura's memory feather up for grabs, Syaoran and friends have no choice but to take to the skies and sideline all contenders.

Topeng Kaca: Bidadari Merah 10 by Miuchi Suzue

I don't read Topeng Kaca: Bidadari Merah and have no idea how it ties in with Glass no Kamen, but I'm sure many of you follow this series (even if no one remembers when volume 9 came out). So. Happy for ya.

The rest of the blurbs—for the Change Guy 29 manhwa, Doraemon Pika-Pika 13 (which promises to be awww-some), and School Rumble volume 3—after the manga list.

HanaLaLa, of course, and Issue 43 of the Indonesian Hana to Yume and LaLa features the return of Hatori Bisco's Love Egoist. But beyond (the admittedly munificent) 40 pages for this recurrent Ouran tankou omake are the two chapters of Skip Beat! (Act 91 - Suddenly, a Love Story - **Repeat and 92 - Suddenly, a Love Story- ***Repeat) in store. That double act sorta trounces the featured series—Dragon's Fiancé or Ryuu no Hanawazurai by Kusakawa Nari—doesn't it?
