Published in Indonesia by Gramedia/m&c!
The Biatch Teacher© and Seo GaYoon are engaged?! Kang Song Yie's heart shatters upon hearing the news. It is up to the so-called playboy prince to piece the shards back, and for that he will have to concoct a plan that would do even Machiavelli, Niccolò di Bernardo dei proud.
Meanwhile, Hwang SeRyun suspects Kang Song Yie is not who s/he seems and tries his best to split the couple permanently. He'll have problems as not long after, someone kidnaps him AND Song Yie!
These twists are sooo classic Hwang MiRee, I'm almost afraid to pick up the latest Idol Shopping. But don't let my misgivings prevent you from getting and whizzing through the entire volume 9 in under thirty minutes. (Yes, I'm serious mode ON! here.)
New m&c! manga and manhwa
Aikawa Saki's 16 Life series double launches and Fujimoto Yuuki's (Family, Some Dead) Song For My Sweet Home, as well as Romo's (Pricey Patissier's confection) Vanilla Frosting premiere. It's obvious which (Cinderella story) Imma subject to the spotlight:

16 Life 1 of 2 by Aikawa Saki
Kajiura Saya loves to sing and fortunately, she can more than carry a tune. In spite of her tuneful warblings, though, she has no wish to become a diva like her talented (and famous) elder sister.
One day, as Saya is singing in a karaoke box (alone — hitokara?), a guy named Takase Kazuki barges in. He claims to be a music producer but a skeptical Saya gives him the brush-off. Her Exit, Stage Left! is ruined when she accidentally steps on his glasses.
So to replace Takase's custom glasses (which cost 500 thousand yen), Saya has to work for Takase, singing whatever piece he shoves at her.
Baka-Updates Manga tags 16 Life Older Male Younger Female,

Mangazine: Cherry 54/2011 - Happy Sixth Anniversary!
7 Cenchi!

Shogakukan [ChuChu]
The sixth anniversary edition of Cherry (Indonesian Sho-Comi/Ciao/ChuChu/Flowers) promises a lucky winner an invitation to a Cha no Yu at The Japan Foundation. Interested? If yes, GET! and write a unique Happy Anniversary greeting for Cherry. Wear a yukata when you go :D
I assumed last time that Nanajima Kana's 7 Centi! was close to wrapping because Cherry 53's Memory 9 installment came from 7 Cenchi! volume 3 of 3. 7 Centi! gracing the front cover this time strengthens that assumption (based on how m&c! usually features concluding series on the cover). If I'm wrong and it's not yet the finale, you get Memory 10, at the very least. Update: While Memory 10: Biar Kita Berpisah, Aku Tidak Kesepian!!
(Hanare Banare demo Sabishikunai Mon!!?
) does come from volume 3, it's not yet The End. What IS ending is Aoi Michiru's Super Sweet ☆ Honey, originally Sekai Seifuku ☆ Honey (Episode 4 this issue).
These other manga are continuing their serial runs: My Lovely Class Leader ♥ by Nishimura Tomoko (Episode 28 taken from Gokujou!! Mecha Mote Iinchou volume 9); Dawn Aria by Akaishi Michiyo (Episode 31 from Akatsuki no ARIA volume 9); I am not a Maid! by Iwaoka Meme (Episode 4 from Maid ja Naimon! volume 1); and Yomogi Loves Money? by Arai Kiyoko (Episode 5 from Yomogi Mochi Yaketa? volume 1). There's also Cold Love Pattern
(Samugari na Koi Moyou
), an Extra to Morita Yuki's She, Between He and Me/Kare to Kanojo to Kanojo.
Capping this sixth magaversary are sneak peaks into a couple of local KOLONI comics: The Butterfly Ink by Wina Oktavia dan Annisa Fadila Yusuf (Chapter 01 Yang Terbang, Yang Tak Mau Ditinggalkan
) and My Premium Girl by H-San, both of which premiered last January.
☂ [RE-STO]: I sed when Song of Love 8 of 8 streeted that it's not too late to invest in Fujita Maki's Eden no Trill series. Here's corroboration: m&c! restocks Song of Love volumes 1 through 7 this release.

16 Life 2 of 2 by Aikawa Saki [Finale]
16 Life © Aikawa Saki
Shogakukan [Sho-Comi]
Published in Indonesia by m&c!
Saya debuts as a singer (wow, that was fast). While shooting her PV, Saya is confronted by a girl insisting that Saya is nothing more than a replacement for Takase's ex-girlfriend. Although shaken, Saya resolves to sing out her love for Takase.
Will Takase reciprocate Saya's feelings?
m&c! has also published these other Aikawa Saki shoujo manga: You Can't Disappear From Me, Love After School and My Prince. I don't remember what m&c! titled Renai Joujou (AKA Slowly It Becomes Love; Japan release: 2006.12), but I know it was already published like, ice ages, ago. Secret Kiss (JP release: 2007.11) prolly already was, too.
I'm still waiting on m&c! to license the Ex-BF/love triangled Kimi to Koi no Tochuu (three volumes, released in Japan from November 2010 to May 2011) and The Morning After the Night Before and She gets a Possessive Lover who's also Mafia heir Iinchou no Himegoto (AKA The Committee Chairman's Secret; two volumes published between June and September 2008).
Aikawa Saki-sensei's current Sho-Comi serial is Naisho no Jikan, the Café, Cosplay
premise of which makes me think: My Sweet Kaicho.
Song for My Sweet Home 1 of 3+ by Fujimoto Yuki
Hanadera Himawari would be a regular high schooler if she weren't so super busy. Himawari, the only daughter, has been looking after her sibs and the family home ever since her parents passed away. She doesn't complain because, despite some absence of material comforts, their family lacks nothing in the way of joy.
So let's take a peek at the warm Hanadera family life, shall we?
m&c! has published two other Fujimoto Yuuki heartwarmers before this: Sparkling Gingachou and My Sweet Neighbor, originally Tonari no Megane-kun, that remains till today, my favorite megane bishie manga~ ♡
Vanilla Frosting 1 of 2 by Romo
Arim wants to master cooking, so she apprentices herself to Hojo. But for the food genius, two cooks in the kitchen are one too many!
Teh bishie on Vanilla Frosting's front cover reminds me of Domoto Masayuki/Chaa-chan ♥ (Oh Butterfly Oh Flower).

My Kingdom 3 of 4+ by Yagami Chitose
Nono likes Kurosawa even more now, especially after their date at the theme park. A surprise awaits though when their school stages a Snow White drama.
