The kingdom of Dowa, which is subdivided into 13 states, is celebrating its monarch's 99th birthday. These thirteen states have many agencies that are controlled by the giant organization known as ACCA. Within ACCA, Jean Otis is the second-in-command of the inspection agency. His agency has 10 people placed in each of the 13 states, with a central office in the capital city. They keep track of all the activities of ACCA across the kingdom, and keep data on each state's ACCA office flowing towards the central office. Jin also often has business trips from the capital to the other districts, to check on the situation and personnel there.

This is what tethysdust said this week:
Shinkai seemed like a kind of generic school club story with everyday mysteries. KiriwoTerrible was kind of funny in the way it pointed out that "heroes" sure do a lot of collateral damage. ACCA seemed to have a very slow plot, and the art was not really a style I enjoy.
Here's what DrCoke had to say:
I loved Stealth Symphony. It does a fantastic job drawing a fantastic and unique world, and the characters are very lovable. The battle scenes look to be pretty top notch as well.

My opinion:
No really ecchi manga this week...
ACCA - 13-ku Kansatsuka - If you're a fan of Natsume Ono (mangaka of House of Five Leaves, Ristorante Paradiso) and don't mind the more slice of life/slower moving plot, then this manga is for you~
D.D.D. - Devil Devised Departure - If you're looking for a supernatural action manga, then this is for you...
Kiriwo Terrible is also another supernatural action manga, but more along the lines of comedy and the misunderstanding of the role of the big bad black monster.
Shinkai Tsuzuri no Dokkairoku would be a nice pick for those who want to read about school mysteries.
Stealth Symphony - on the other hand, this manga is for those who are in the mood for fantasy. Four chapters are already out and scanlated so it'll be easy for people to check it out.
Tokyo Wonder Boys is another new manga in Jump, but about soccer. The premise isn't that new (I swear I've read the same premise before) but if you like soccer (or football for non-Americans), then this manga is the one for you...
