Published in Indonesia as Images of You by Gramedia/m&c!
Matataki's worst fears come true: the photo of Mirai and Koda presaged Mirai dating Matataki's rival. At the same time, one of Matataki's works wins a contest. The award-winning picture, "Purple Dawn," is one Matataki has always wanted to show Mirai.
By accident, Matataki and Mirai run into each other at the photo exhibition. Can Matataki's "feelings" derail the "future"? See the penultimate Images of You (volume 3) for the answer.

Published in Indonesia as
Distance to a Kiss
by Gramedia/m&c!
m&c! launches a new Yoshinaga Yuu shoujo manga—Distance to a Kiss—originally Kiss made no Kyori, first serialized Betsucomi:
Yuzuha loves Kaji, the good friend of her twin Suguru. The trio grew up together and despite abundant opportunity—Kaji frequently spends time in Yuzuha's home—she has never told him how she feels. But once Kaji enters high school and becomes the school idol, Yuzuha finds it even harder to approach him, let alone 'fess up. How can Yuzuha hurdle the widening distance between them?
You can find the list of Yoshinaga Yuu manga released earlier than the Childhood Friends, Unrequited Love Distance to a Kiss if you scroll down. m&c! hasn't exactly been stingy when it comes to licensing Yoshinaga Yuu titles. [Continued...]

Before Distance to a Kiss or Kiss made no Kyori, m&c! published Yoshinaga Yuu's Koibito wa 16-sai, retitled My Boyfriend in 16, and Hatsukoi Hakusho as First Love Stories. In her reviews, Telor Ceplok manga critic Lina-chan gave these titles a 7 of 10 and 8 of 10♥ respectively.
Even earlier than the above two, m&c! published Kataomoi no Mukougawa (as One sided Love) and Tsumi Koi (Sinful Love).
The only thing m&c! hasn't published (yet) is Yoshinaga Yuu's current Betsucomi serial, the Countryside, Glasses, Transfer Student

By Nakashima Kazuki / Ko Yasung
Rose and Tanrou run into one of the Bry tribal warriors who apparently survived, and now views them as foes. A clash proves inevitable. Meanwhile, Rose's memories slowly return.
What terrible power does Rose hide? Perhaps the penultimate Lost Seven will tell us? :P
Other 25 January 2012 highlights

Cherry 61/2012
I'm 99.99% sure that Heart Curtain was originally Kokoro Curtain 「ココロカーテン」 by Nakajima Yuka, whose other ex-Ciao series—My Mysterious Neighbor or Tonari no Obake-san—also shows up—actually, concludes, in Issue 61 with the Niji's Memory
extra. The certainty percentage plunges for Jumping Ponytail!, which I speculate is Mori Chikako's gymnastics-troped Tonderu! Ponytail 「とんでる！ポニーテール」, first serialized in Ciao and Ciao DX. If I'm wrong on either or both counts, the comment box below is all yours. «Update: I was right on both counts.
I was also right about Christmas Joy
and Naughty Lion
. They're one-shots off the Betsucomi and Sho-Comi manga that debuted in the last Cherry, Konno Risa's Suddenly in Love (Sweet Boy ni Goyoujin) and Ichikawa Show's Captured by Love (Koakuma Lion). Christmas Joy
or Usotsuki Christmas
is a Suddenly in Love Extra Episode, while Naughty Lion
(Ijiwaru Lion
) is a one-shot off Captured by Love.
Series still running in Cherry:
- My Lovely Class Leader ♥ by Nishimura Tomoko: In this issue —
Uji Nyali Awal dari Cinta
(Kimodameshi wa Koi no Hajimari
), a one-shot from Gokujou!! Mechamote Iinchou volume 11 - I am not a Maid! by Iwaoka Meme: Episode 11 ex-Maid ja Naimon! volume 2
- Yomogi Loves Money? by Arai Kiyoko: Episode 12 from Yomogi Mochi Yaketa? volume 3
- Dawn Aria by Akaishi Michiyo: Episode 38, lifted from Akatsuki no Aria volume 11
Capping this issue is the ongoing local series, AquaPasto by Gleison A. (episode 2).
