Bronze Angel 2 of 7 by Saito Chiho
Natalya remains doubtful of Pushkin's love and who could blame her? Problem after problem buffet their shaky relationship. It's almost a miracle that finally Pushkin manages to convince Natalya to marry him.
But fate is not done conspiring against our star-crossed lovers and throws an emperor, irate with Pushkin, in the happiness works.
Instead of focusing on an infuriated, poetry-averse ruler, editor Sina-san suggests drooling over the jealousy-inducing power of Pushkin's love for Natalya (>o<).

by Level Comics
Onizuka Eikichi, 22 years old, teaches at the Tokyo Kissho Junior High. Onizuka returns to his hometown Shonan to lie low after accidentally claiming to have nearly buried a student alive. Who would've thought that this would mark the beginning of a 14-day challenge to help troubled kids at the White Swan youth shelter?
Explains editor Adisti-san: The GTO Shonan 14 Days story takes place roughly around GTO volume 19 and boasts action and excitement to rival its predecessor.
Baka-Updates Manga specifies that it follows the Teshigawara arc, and warns of massive SPOILAGE, tangenting on a point often *cough*leveled*cough* against Level: Why publish the sequel when the prequel is still current? (Not complainin', just askin'.)
Adisti-san adds that there's an eight color pages bonus in volume 1; I tag on: And no, that doesn't up the price. GTO Shonan 14 Days is priced at the regular IDR 18,500/volume.
Cherry 4 of 4 by Kubonouchi Eisaku
