Elex releases the final (no longer) genderbending Charming Junkie shoujo manga, premieres Corocoro Dragon Comics' X Zone, steams ahead with leveraging the popularity of Black Butler's Sebastian and Ciel and The Ruler of Nabari's Miharu (and Kouichi who is the cover of volume 7), rolls out the penultimate Touch, AND —
— shocks The Best Skilled Surgeon out of temporary arrest (volume 1 was last seen loitering in/around July 2009).
Mangazine of the sked is Shonen Star 62, highlighting Inoue Kazurou's Undead seinen drama, atypical when compared with Midori no Hibi and Ai Kora.
