But thats what is important here; what its "technically" is, and nothing else. If I'm going to deal with other stuff, then there is no end to this. by other stuff I mean, those that judge any manga be it by its art style, content, gender of mangaka or even the percentage of male/female readers of the manga.

I go by what the publisher says, and nothing else

If the publisher chooses to move the manga to a josei magazine and publishes it under a josei imprint, then I'll call it a josei manga, but other than that its a seinen manga.



Yeah, I pretty much agree about that, I'm not so much into josei manga, but I so loved the anime adaptation of Honey and Clover

Well I'm not telling you what to call it. I just gave my point of view, doesnt need any extra commenting. You can ignore me all the same :P

anyhow; enough on this.

Hmm...DtB doesn't immediately grip me as something ground-breaking or fresh, but I'm still curious as it's BONES and Okamura and pet projects can often be lovingly fashioned (or off-puttingly self-indulgent). Character designs are a bit meh, but I suppose they're not overly decorative so maybe they're going for some degree of realism. Though Hei sounds like a text book emotionally isolated male lead and the goth/loli/doll Yin seems to be pandering to the usual crowd. Wonder if Mao likes sitting on people's heads? The first thing I thought when I saw 'talking cat' was Kenran Butou Sai! Nya~Nya~.

That's one of the things that make me glad we have a Kinokuniya, even if we get the mags 1 week late...

But regarding the character designs - at least I am so thankful they're not all glittering and sparkly like the Ayakashi Ayashi ones. Although they still somehow have a similar 'feel' to them, vaguely anyway... Same thing with Wolf's Rain and even Kenran, there's this something similar about the type of character designs they work with, isn't there? Heck, even with Eureka 7... something about the lines and the eyes or something..


Here's just hoping they get the atmosphere right, even if the characters may be so-so. Hey, I loved the mood of what I saw of Kurau...
Pet projects could really go either way, just like you mentioned. I somehow don't see this going the way Noein did though... well, we'll wait and see.

ハヤテのごとく！
Hayate no Gotoku! (Hayate the Combat Butler)

Based on the Hata Kenjirou manga serialized in the Weekly Shounen Sunday Magazine, with eight tankoubon manga volumes released.

Genre: Shounen, Comedy, Romance

Source: World Hobby Fair Website

Manga synopsis, courtesy of Anime News Network:

With a debt of 1.5 million, 16-year old Hayate Ayasaki's parents sell him to the yakuza to pay it off. Not wanting to be cut up and sold on the black market, Hayate escapes from the yakuza thugs, and finds a very rich girl by the name of Nagi wandering in a park at night. Deciding to kidnap the girl for ransom money, Hayate's kidnapping speech was wrongly taken as a confession of love to Nagi. She finds out about the debt, and, feeling sorry for Hayate, pays it off, as long as Hayate will be her butler until he pays off the 1.5 million (which will take about 40 years).

Wow! Time can go quick! You know Neosam I think the most impressive thing is that you have been updating the thread all the time since then! (337 Posts!)

So... Hayate the Combat Butler manga is getting a anime, I read about 3 volums and it was funny though.. I lost interest and didn't end up keeping up with it.

[Rion]

Woah! I think this is worth a celebration~ This is one of the very few threads I'm checking regularily (every 1 or 2 days) and I'm really grateful for all the information!

Thank you, NeoSam! Please go on with this!

Checking this thread is like checking game news sites regularly, except that with this thread, you're more likely to get your wish granted, as opposed to hopelessly wishing for Shenmue III, Nights 2 and a Pokemon MMORPG to be made.

I KNOW that the 20th Century Boys anime announcement is round the corner. I can FEEL it.

I would assume the staff to be the same (J.C. Staff) as the announcement was also made in the DVD Vol. 4.

In any case, great news!

[ThoHell]

Oh my, I'm lookingforward to the 2nd season of Zero no Tsukaima! Any offical release date?

Oh and by the way has anyone checked out the new anime (2 months old now) Giniro no Olynssis? It's a Mecha/Adventure/Romance. Seems pretty good so far, but a little hard to find with subs. Reminds me alot of Gundam Seed's Kira and Faye.
