Now that he enters his high school career, Satomi Koutaro begins his life living alone in an apartment that only costs him 5000 yen per month, an extremely cheap deal even for this small apartment. There's a catch: the apartment is apparently haunted by a cute ghost that has driven its prior occupants away.

In a world where bounty hunters thrive and compete for the biggest catch, the "Dragon-Tiger Brothers" Ryu and Tora travel through space in search of high-dollar targets. They stop at absolutely nothing to gain more money to fulfill their ultimate dream, a dream stemming from a promise made with their younger sister. Their next target: a little princess being chased by the law for her alleged crimes. She promises them more money than the bounty on her head if the brothers help her escape. Now, utilizing their super-human combat abilities, they must now run from the law for helping the princess win her freedom.

This is what tethysdust said this week:
Parthenon-kun will be nice for fans of ridiculous, over-the-top comedy. Illegal Rare has an interesting twist on the idea of supernatural creatures, where they're just trying not to be hunted down and killed off. It seems like an idea that might work well to support a long-running story. The Meldina story is described as "Russian Steampunk," and it seems like it also has a lot of potential.

My opinion:
Illegal Rare - a new series in Jump from the mangaka who made Nurarihyon no Mago. Expect more nice art and supernatural action in this one, if the mangaka continues in the same realm as the last manga~
Kikai Shikake no Meldina - sound interesting with the mysterious aspects. I'm probably the most interested in this manga.
Kyou no Cerberus - good for those wanting a romantic comedy type manga.
Rokujouma no Shinryakusha!? - based on a popular light novel - If you're a fan of magical girls, then this manga if for you~
Seikaiisan Taisen Parthenon-kun - If you're looking for a short school life comedy one-shot, then you should this one out.
Wonderful Wonder World - On the other hand, if you're more in the mood for a short action/comedy one-shot, then you should check out this one-shot instead.
