New Manga Shout Out: 6/7/10 - 6/13/10

Welcome to the next New Manga Shout Out. Short shout out this week. With the no-raws/scans rule on MH, you have to work a bit to find these mangas, although some are really new while others not so much. Remember, if you like any of the series, favorite them. Don't forget to also thank the various translators, raw uploaders/scanners and scanlators who feed your manga addiction. ^_^ Translators and Scanlators, please check out these series and see if you can spread some more manga love~

We're still looking for people who know Japanese and want to help write summaries for our manga database and for the shout out. Please PM me if you want to help out. Now onto the series~

On the dark side of the moon exists a highly advanced civilization divided into two clans, the Takenouchi family and the Umenouchi family. Takenouchi Kaguya is the daughter of Takenouchi Fumiya, the acting queen of the clan. Kaguya is the next in line for the position for queen but she refuses to be obedient and wants to enjoy life. The bratty Kaguya despises her mother and the people around her for being so strict and often wishes she was never born as a princess.

Queen Fumiya has been severely ill for many years now, but has kept it from her daughter in order to protect her but her condition has worsened. The Umenouchi family takes this opportunity to start a coup and takes over the government. Knowing that she is not able to ensure her daughter’s safety on the moon, Fumiya sends Kaguya to Earth with the powerful katana that symbolizes her ownership of the moon. Without the sword, the Umenouchi family cannot usurp control of the moon. Kaguya is forced to mature and become stronger in order to take back what was once her mother’s!

In the year 1800 B.C. there was an ancient city called Babilim, a very important trade center, and this is where a teenage boy named Namuru lives and attends school. Namuru is instantly attracted to the mysterious new girl in school, Shaz, and she later gets them in trouble with some street thugs when she steals from a merchant. However, Shaz removes the head of the attacker without killing him and scares the thugs away.

She explains to the confused Namuru that she possesses 1/50th blood of Marduke, the city of Babilim’s God of War, and that he does as well. With the blood of a god within him, she explains that they can tap into a small part of the almighty power to manipulate dimensions which in turn allows them to remove and transport objects (explaining the “beheading” of the street thug). What’s even more shocking is that Shaz wants Namuru to help her take over Babilim in order to destroy the kingdom!

Every day, Yamada Ichirou takes a path to school that crosses with the girl he likes, Fujisaki Shiori. Every day, he thinks that maybe it will be the day he'll have the courage to speak to her. However, hundreds of days have passed and he still hasn't even managed to say one word.

One day, the overly developed 11-year-old Sakura Moe and her mother move in next door to Yamada. While her mother's away, Moe runs over to Yamada's house in a bath towel, demanding that he "rescue" her. Unluckily, that day also happens to be the first day ever that Shiori comes over to Yamada's house on an errand about schoolwork. Now she not only thinks he's a stalker, but also a pedophile! Will Yamada be able to convince her it was all a big misunderstanding or has he lost the girl of his dreams before he even got the courage to say "Hello"?

This is what tethysdust said this week:
Chocolate Devil was a neat story, but it was really short. Gekka Bijin looks pretty exciting.
Here's a note from vyc:
Definitely interesting mangas this week. Both Shihou Sekai no Ou and Gekka Bijin are extremely interesting and incredibly well drawn. Shihou has that mysterious powers aspect to the storyline that has potential for a lot of cool stuff to happen. The concept of taking an ancient civilization setting and putting a modern spin to it seems really awesome. It has already been picked up for a couple of chapters so can't wait for the rest. Gekka Bijin takes a different spin on the Kaguyahime fairy tales. The life lessons that she is about to learn is going to be really touching but not forgetting comedy and action along the way. I think a lot of readers will be able to relate to the morals of the story.
My opinion: Gekka Bijin looks the most interesting of the bunch while Nekomimi Days looks like a cute slice-of-life manga. I might check out Shihou Sekai no Ou seeing it has a chapter scanlated and hopefully it'll continue getting scanlated. Thanks go to spiritovod for telling me about all these series.

Reading some of the comments in the previous news posts, some people expressed the desire for me to continue with these "new manga shout outs." However, these raws can no longer be hosted on MH. Do people care if the mangas I feature are not new and just aren't scanlated, but have raws available *somewhere*? Do you want news about newly scanlated mangas or do you want to learn about unscanlated/unknown mangas? Or do you only want to know about newly started mangas, but don't care if there are raws available? Just remember, that if there are raws available somewhere, it allows us to be able to provide summaries for your enjoyment. Please give me some feedback so I know how to continue on with these articles... Or even tell me if there's no need for me to continue with these articles. So the question is: How would you like me to continue (or not continue) with these shout outs?
