as The Black Swindler

Level Comics seems to have reverted to normal operations after deploying Trans-Am mode for the past four weeks, and just like a post Trans-Am event, capacity has been slashed — down to only five manga. (The surprising thing is that the 9+ manga/week had been sustained for so long.) In any case, the pentad streeting on the 11th includes The Black Swindler volume 7.

The Black Swindler or Kurosagi volume 7 focuses on Internet fraud and phishing scams. As the perps of these rackets remain faceless, law enforcers have had difficulty making arrests. Police investigator Ishikura Yasushi from the tech crimes division turns to Kurosaki, the swindler of swindlers, for help in tracking down the criminals.

New manga

Iriya Shuzo, the star of Iliad, is not your conventional antique dealer. A fortuitous meeting sends Iriya on a quest to locate the lost continent of Atlantis, using clues left by Heinrich Schliemann, archaelogical excavator of Troy and advocate of the historical reality of places in Homer's works.

Homeric evidence pointing to the legendary island? That's atypical. Isn't Plato's dialogues usually the source of all speculations Atlantis?

I'm intrigued, definitely.
