In the crime pursuit suspense manga, the two protagonists can only believe in themselves. The series will debut in the 11th issue on February 13.
Yoshiyuki Murakami (Shinyaku [Kyojin no Hoshi] Hanagata) draws Barcelona no Taiyō (The Sun of Barcelona, bottom left). The magazine advertises that the story brings "high school soccer to the highest level in the world!?" The manga will launch in the 13th issue on February 27.
Kazuki Funatsu (Addicted to Curry) pens the third and final new series, Yōkai Shōjo -Monsuga- (Monster Girl -MonsGir-, top). The monster-battling romantic comedy focuses on an erotically cute girl, whose attractive beauty has a secret. The manga will launch in the 14th issue on March 6.
Funatsu ended his Addicted to Curry manga after about 11 years in 2012.
