Kuroshitsuji © Toboso Yana/Square Enix
Published in Indonesia as Black Butler by Elex Media Komputindo
Also Golden Days 7 (penultimate), Tokkyu!! 5, and the series finale to Railroad (volume 3).
Patience pays! Black Butler volume 2 finally got a street date and it is the 11th of November. It appears EMO post-ers were very forgive-and-forget of Elex's one-month delay because Toboso Yana's supernatural manga emerges as the top DO WANT of this release, beating Eyeshield 21 volume 31 (by a handful of votes).
In the second Kuroshitsuji, a summons, presumably royal, arrives at the Phantomhive estate; off Ciel and Sebastian go to London — to track down the Jack the Ripper.
(Ciel and Sebastian as more than your average Ripperologists. Lovesit.)
After the blood, sweat, and attrition (though this one involving something considerably less rephensible), the victor advancing to the Christmas Bowl in volume 31 of Eyeshield 21 is... I'm not telling. Moreover, I'm following in Elex's footsteps by teasing about the soon-to-be-outed secret of Teikoku, the Osaka team that has dominated the Christmas Bowl since its inception.
New manga
Shonen Sunday titles Kekkaishi and Wild Life break out from their Shonen Star serialization and into tankoubon compile. You already know that Kekkaishi, winner of the 2007 Shogakukan Award for shounen manga, tells the story of Sumimura Yoshimori and Yukimura Tokine, Ketsu! Metsu! Tenketsu!
barrier magic users protecting the sacred land of Karasumori from Ayakashi demons attracted to the land by the promise of power level-up.
Wild Life follows juvie Tessho on his road to becoming a veterinarian. Helping the former delinquent in his quest is his perfect pitch or absolute pitch (AP), the ability to name or reproduce a tone without reference to an external standard.
(Ward, W. D. (1998). "Absolute Pitch". in D. Deutsch (Ed.). The Psychology of Music (Second Edition). San Diego: Academic Press. pp. 265–298, as cited by Wikipedia)
(Perfect pitch or otherwise, Tessho can't sing.)
In other continuing manga, Hyogo and a child are swept out to open seas in Tokkyu!! volume 5. (Summaries for Legend of the Cursed Sword 27, LUM, The Invader Girl 15, and Yureka 15 are after the manga list.)
