wow Lelouch/Suzaku manga I prefer Rolo/Lelouch more though, but I guess I'll buy it anyways.

the "For Boys" and "For Girls" on the covers made me chuckle.

How is that gender equality? Lelouch and Suzaku are sipping tea and C.C. is grabbing Kallen's boob. |

This makes me think less of code geass as a franchise. I much prefer stories written from the authors own ideas, as oposed to a bunch of sexual fanservice.

I wouldn't buy this for the story, but for the fan service....hell yes.
Also did anyone notice that parts from the latest manga are related to the new Code Geass project. Does anyone have more info on that? |

I meant the audience, not the character. If they just release the "just for boy" manga, and not "just for girl" manga for US release, you know how the female audience would react and probably be offended and call this move, sexist. |

Because girls have richer fantasy lives? We don't need every little detail spelled out for us? Lelouch is feeding Suzaku the tea. They are not just having tea. Feeding one another is a sensual move all in itself. What, you want a cover of them grabbing one another's crotches? Rather crass, don't you think? There's not much really to do short of them being shirtless & drapped across one another like the GetBacker's stuff of Ban & Ginji which, along with one of the author's comments has fueled all the Ban/Ginji fanfics/doujins/fanart that pisses off all the guys who say "But they're always chasing Hevn! Ban & Ginji are straight!" Yet we see numerous fan-service shots of Hevn & Natsume together in the manga. They're fictional characters. They're whatever the author makes them
I didn't notice until the 3rd time thru, but it's opposed as in opposite. You don't think the "real authors" don't know damned well about the doujins/fanfics/etc.? Yu Watase was asked about her favorite yaoi pairing from Fushigi Yugi (NakagoXTamahome). Some of these authors are writing the doujins themselves for heaven's sake. Can't you see the original authors are often putting in shots of characters in positions to feed the doujin makers? I've seen it in Bleach. It's all over Code Geass--how much Lelouche cares about his sister, how he frets over his relationship with Suzaku. Yeah, he cares about several gals in his life, but he stresses most over his sister & Suzaku. |

Well I can see the queens versions will be more popular than the knight version cause it'll please both guys and girls. That i know for sure. Especially if there's any mild yuri aspect. |

No, I'd say they should have shown Suzaku's butt like they did with C.C., or Lelouch, whatever. I wonder what Lelouch's butt would look like. Just the sexual grade of the sexiness would be sexy enough to sexually beat any sort of sexiness this world possesses. Eww. |

You're going to be severely disappointed. There's more fanservice on the covers than in the content inside. |

You pretty much made my point for me. Obviously the writers of any series are aware of doshinji, I am disapointed that the same series that is held in such high regard for their plots has decided to take the doshinji fanservice road just to make money. There is a big difference between "feeding" doshinji makers, and publishing it themselves. I don't have a problem with doshinji in general, I just think Code Geass should have stopped while they were ahead. |

I wonder, is there a real need to complain about this? They're just making some money out of it; not forcing anyone to buy either. Or are you just so worried about Code Geass' pride and decency. This is by no means where they're stopping, and I do put some faith in the next series. And like I said, there's absolutely nothing forcing you to watch any spin-off or sequel, so you really won't have to taint your past experience with Code Geass, that is, unless you're that worried about Code Geass' popularity. |

Pride? Isn't this the same Code Geass that had product placements for Pizza Hut everywhere but in the opening sequences?
