Published in Indonesia as The Lovely Wizard by Gramedia/m&c!

When we last left The Lovely Wizard (in Senjutsushi to Saiyaku no Tsubo 1; I apologize again for reporting this volume as the finale), the Urn of Disaster was the bone of contention between the urn's maker Rurisen and the evil mage Nyukus AKA "One Thousand Faces." Nyukus prevails and offers Rurisen a deal: the urn for Rurisen's (comely) face and awesome abilities.

!!!

Elsewhere, in less surprising news (or is it?), Sato likes Kuro! Mike who learns about it (in Sparkling Gingachou 8) is shocked. Childhood friends or not, there is no way Mike is about to give up on Kuro. Even if Sato confesses and Kuro's answer is . . .

I woud've blurbed The Story of Wang Xiao Long finale had not Squint Mode »ON! #FAILed. Here is the cover if you feel like giving it a try.

BESTSELLER REISSUES: Goong and Mint-Na Bokura (We are Twins)

Apropos of Goong [Palace Story] volume 18 being slated for 7 April and on the heels of the 24 March rerelease of volumes 1-6, m&c! ships the next Goong box set (volumes 7-12, SRP: IDR 89,000), as well as reissuing volumes 1-6 of Mint-Na Bokura (We are Twins), Yoshizumi Wataru's shoujo series about twins Maria and Noel (one goes to an exclusive girls' school; the other one genderbends so as not to be separated), piecemeal. I remember going as far as taking this manga along on an overseas trip, so I guess now's my chance to GET! the missing from teh library volumes 1 through 3, and I'm going to have to pay the price for pro-pro-PRO!crastinating by forking out a pricier IDR 15,000 apiece to complete my collection.

LOCAL COMICS

Lastly, DO support the local talent. There are three new KOLONI releases: Garudaboi 1 by Galang Tirtakusuma, Chibi Attack by Eri-chan et al., and Heart Trick by H-San (links take you to the covers).
