By Niki C

OK, who remembers where Goong last left off? Let's see some hands. Well...? I'm waiting...

Goong [Palace Story] 23 (m&c!)

Goong © Park SoHee/Seoul Cultural Publishers
[First serialized in Wink]
Published in Indonesia as Goong [Palace Story] by Gramedia/m&c!

LOLz. Don't worry if you need a refresher on what Shin×ChaeKyeong were last up to. Comes with the territory of waiting over a year for releases xD. In any case, I come bearing the Goong [Palace Story] 23 blurb—what? Sometimes I need to shamelessly plug :D

Yul's Monarchy Domination Plan crashes and burns as the King finally reveals past indiscretions. Fearful of what a desperate Yul might do, ChaeKyeong leaves Shin behind at the villa that was supposed to be her "prison." As fate would have it, ChaeKyeong runs straight into...

Park SoHee's long-running series ended last December with the release of volume 27. (Yup, that's how long we waited; when m&c!'s volume 22 released, status still stood at 24 volumes, ongoing.)

Previewing Idol's Love Story 11, the other DO WANT! soonjung manhwa (there's only two :P), after the release list. Namba Atsuko's Next to You shoujo manga edged ILS out of second place.

By Namba Atsuko

When the pain of her unrequited love for Kyousuke tops unbearable, Nina finds solace in Miyake's gentleness. And when Miyake invites her out—for the first and last time—Nina resists letting Miyake go...

Miyake×Nina shippers, knock yourselves out. *looks in Lina-chan's direction* :D

Idol's Love Story vol 11 of 15
By Han YuRang

A paparazzi exposé, incriminating photos a certainty, shoots down any chance Lang Land and Ian had at keeping their relationship under wraps. How will their parents take it, especially their mom who's the ult in Ian possessive?

More importantly, how will Psycho!Ian turn this glitch into his advantage?

I speculate that the sm*t promised in Idol's Love Story 10 will remain just that — a promise, destined for unfulfillment, not only because Lang Land and Ian's 'rents get confirmation of the sibcestuous relationship, but also because Lang Land's ex, Jang Gun, is the May I run interference? cover of volume 11 :P
