Maou - Juvenile Remix © Isaka Kotaro & Osuga Megumi/Shogakukan [First serialized in Shonen Sunday] · Dr. Koto Shinryoujo © Yamada Takatoshi/Shogakukan [Currently serialized in Big Comic Original, formerly in Weekly Young Sunday]. Published in Indonesia as Juvenile Remix and Dr. Koto by Elex Media
If you GET! Fairy Tail, Volumes 1–10 boxed (as I did), be sure to throw in Elex's latest volume 11. That is, if you didn't already. If you want the latest, latest chapter available in Indonesia, however, run to Shonen Magz which serializes Mashima Hiro's award-winning shounen manga monthly. Issue 10/2011 streets the same day as the box set. Meanwhile, the next Japanese Fairy Tail—volume 29—releases 2011.10.17. Now on to the next DO WANT!
In ‘Think!’ It's your only weapon!
Juvenile Remix vol. 6, only one question needs asking: Who will emerge the victor in the battle between Ando and Master?
Maou - Juvenile Remix ended its tankou run in Japan in August 2009. I think it will be awhile still before Elex's concludes, what with the approval skeds Juvenile Remix has had to work with.
As for Dr. Koto 7, our hardworking doctor flies to Hokkaido for a conference that unfortunately becomes the target of a lone sniper. He starts picking off the doctor attendees and is himself fatally wounded in the firefight with police. No one seems willing to help the dying gunman. No one except Dr. Koto...
Dr. Koto vol. 7: Berjanji
(Promise) compiles chapters 68 through 78. If you're looking for the latest chapters available in Indonesia, check out Shonen Star. Issue 17/2011's already on sale, and Issue 18 is penciled in for 12 October.
Dr. Koto Shinryoujo is up to volume 25 in Japan (released 2010.07) and continues to serialize in Big Comic Original.
Crayon Shinchan vol. 9 has been postponed to the 12th, so don't look for it here. The first volume of post-Usui Yoshito-sensei Crayon Shin-chan Shin-Men, however, appears to be all set for its Japanese premiere (volume 1 releases on 17 November 2011).
Mangazines: Shonen Magz 10/2011
Landing the cover of Shonen Magz Issue 10/2011 — the got-mah-anime-greenlit Code:Breaker, which juxtaposes eye for an eye vigilante Rei with conscience sidekick Sakura, for what reviewer Jason Green calls Kamijyo Akimine's attempt at morality play. The series spotlight, however, shines on Yukimura Makoto's epic Vinland Saga. Scroll down for why.

KATSU! vol. 14 of 16
By Adachi Mitsuru
Guy Katsuki and Misaki don't get to exchange blows at the Inter High, but the question of just how close Girl Katsuki has gotten to Misaki remains to be settled, especially now that Misaki has joined the Mizutani gym owned by Girl Katsuki's dad.
If you came to Katsu! late, you can catch up, first by investing in the Katsu! Volumes 1–10 box set (SRP: IDR 80,000) that streets on 12 October, the same day that Adachi Mitsuru's Q and A vol. 1 premieres.
If you can't wait for either the regular tankou or the box set, go through back issues of Shonen Star. Katsu! serialized there. Yup, past tense, which means it's finished.
