Just a little more time

(Entry crossposted from my main sunny side up anime blog)

Per earlier advisory, Roadside Angel or Michibata no Tenshi by EMURA-sensei wraps its Indonesian serialization in the second anniversary edition of HanaLaLa, the mangazine that serializes Hakusensha’s Hana to Yume and LaLa shoujo titles in Indonesia—with a full-color title page for chapter 24.

Likewise included in HanaLaLa 24/2008 (front cover illustration: Fruit Basket) are two chapters of Nakamura Yoshiki-sensei’s Skip Beat! and further full-color title pages for Vampire Knight; Penguin Kakumei; Kin Iro no Corda; Arakure; and Furuba. That’s more than the usual; it comes with this being an anniversary issue, one supposes.

And because it’s a birthday edition, we also get the freebie on the right. Much as I wanted it to be a Penguin Kakumei drama CD (like what LaLa gave away on its 28th and 29th anniversaries), it wasn’t going to transform like some mahou shoujo and ultimately, remains a sticker. Ah, well. At least it’s Ryou.

Here’s the list of Hana to Yume and LaLa shoujo titles currently in serialization, and their latest installments in HanaLaLa:
