Shonen Sunday Briefs (continued)
by Mitsuda Takuya Overview: Honda Goro, from his early years in grade school, has been striving to become a professional baseball player like his deceased father. Now, in Kaidou high school, he is facing new challenges. This issue: Goro has returned after a half year away
in baseball training. He returns in time to find out that he has a new
sibling. His adoptive mother gives birth to a baby girl they name
Chiharu. Goro spends the rest of summer break hanging out and playing
catch with his little brother. He goes back for the second phase of
training, and he and the other players are shocked to learn that the new
director is a woman.
by Fujita Kazuhiro Overview: Masaru is a grade school boy who is the heir to a vast fortune. Shirogane, a French woman who controls a powerful puppet, is his bodyguard. Far away, their friend Narumi is becoming embroiled in an ancient battle against evil living puppets. This issue: In a confrontation, the queen faces off
with her impostor mannequin, but Ellie has gained strength. She shrugs
off accusations that she was herself a lifeless mannequin; she has
awakened and is now human within her own heart. It is the impostor,
meanwhile, who cannot awaken and cannot change, which makes it
inherently inhuman. Ellie prepares to take a last stand against her
deadly foe, but Narumi arrives in time to save her from a noble
death.
by Sakata Nobuhiro and Banjou Daichi Overview: Dandoh is an earnest young boy who has found a calling in golf. With his friend Yuka and Kouhei, he uses sincerity and determination as his guides for becoming a pro-golfer. This issue: Dandoh is still up
against Akano Takuya, his friend and mentor. Takuya is facing an
impossible shot—he must send the ball through a small hole in a
wooden wall#151;but he slips into a state of concentration where all that
exists is the goal, the ball, and himself; no sound, no crowd, no
obstacles. He realizes he has slipped into Dandoh's world. He easily
makes the shot, and a smiling Dandoh congratulates him. The battle is
still on ...
by Anzai Nobuyuki Overview: Recca is a fire-wielding high school freshman ninja. He and his friends, who are aligned with the four elements, are up against a new evil ... This issue: Mori has turned into the terrible deadly
powerful undying ugly demonic evil monster thing he'd been wanting to
turn into. But upon the scene arrives Kurei, Recca's arch-nemesis and
half-brother. Kurei denies having come to help Recca (though he's glad
to see Raiha again). There's a bit of conversation, catching up,
super-deformedness and other comic relief, but then it's back to
focusing on the grim battle at hand ...
by Aoyama Goushou Overview: Grade-school boy Conan is secretly the high school detective Kudou Shinichi, made younger against his will by a strange organization (which thinks he is dead). Now, he and his girlfriend Ran help solve homicides. This issue: Shinichi has, at least
for now, been returned to full teenager-hood by Haibara's experimental
medicine. With Haibara and the professor's help, they somehow manage to
convince Ran that Conan was not Shinichi after all—even though she
had pretty much figured it out. Shinichi meets with Ran at an expensive
restaurant to talk with her, but their private conversation is
interrupted by the discovery of a murder. Shinichi can't sit still under
the circumstances, so Ran sends him off with a grin ...
