Kannagi for one (burning manga volumes or cutting them does seem pretty bad). There was also that game... ugh cannot remember the name where otaku's got mad over the heroine interacting with some other guy other than the main male which seemed to suggest a close relationship and it got quite a shitty storm as well.
In fact in Kannagi's case I also blame the otaku rage for the author's sickness partially as well... Apparently she was sick before but it worsened after the otaku's rage... And now it is unclear if it will ever be finished as its still on a hiatus, seems like the mangaka doenst want to touch Kannagi mess anytime in the near future afraid to stir up wasps nest again. And i am not saying its OK, just that its nothing big as it happens quite a lot and its not the otaku focused thing as you try to portray it happens all around. |

My point is that it happens MORE nowadays than in the past, and regardless of era there is NO justification for that. Of course I am naturally going to be focused on the Otaku-centric rings, because this is the cause of the incident with Kei: Crazy Otakus and their crazy crusade to verbally attack people (few have the guts to show in person, but god save us from the extreme fringes that do). That being said, not all otakus are evil people. I am specifically refering to those that do crazy things.
Perhaps it has something to do with Japan's economic decline or something. That left lots of young men hanging around with no day job or becoming hikkikomoris or whatever. When there is no real career or greater cause to work on. Aimless young men become reactionary to the most minute things, including ani-manga culture (not gonna lower the mainstream into the fringe by calling it "otaku culture"). I am not saying things like that don't happen in other fields, but the ani-manga one is just hard to watch because I grew up with it...and I see that it is heading into a dark, depressing future. It is like watching Disneyland becoming something out of HP Lovecraft! As for the blurb...maybe I will post it up on the fanclub or something. |

And I don't think it'll be just her, but all of Utsumi's friends. But what's great is that the 'catalysts' are natural and most of all, believable. In other stories sometimes you have some stupid event or some unlikely something happen. This manga hits home so much because it's more real. Quote:

But I have wanted to say this for a while: Does anybody think that her design is ugly? I mean, this manga art isn't anything great in the first place, but for a girl that is supposed to be a "beauty," I find even no name characters to look better than her. |

Definitely. Her hair could be fixed up a bit. And I hope she stops blushing so much. She needs to gain her composure, but I think we all know that won't happen. She is going to remain vulnerable and it's going to be rough.

One Piece's Boa Hancock is different - she is supposed to be most beautiful woamn of the seas and frankly from all OP girls she definitely looks like one. And Risa's design does look the most ugly from all main GE girls. Yuki's design is the best its just that her character makes me cringe... While Risa is opposite - good character (so far) but the outer look makes me cringe. |

I would like Risa's design just as much as the others if she covers up the forehead a little.
I think GE has great character design myself. Although Kei could really work on drawing blushes that don't look like giant random lines on a person's face. |
