Well, I'm still going to pick up Future Diary regardless of that review, since I know it gets better than said here.

Well, I only reason I keep reading past the first volume (or volume 0, whatever) of Dogs was for Badou and Mihai. The first volume is really boring, but it gets better later on.

I liked Cherry Juice, but the rest of Fukushima's works, now including Orange Planet, are quite terrible.

And a goth loli? I reread just to check, I can concede that her clothes at that time are on the goth side, but loli? No way. It seems you're just throwing blanket statements to hide your lack of anything truly substantial against this manga.


Gothic Lolita is a clothing style, not a character type.

Imagine a world ... where you told all your pals on Twitter what you were having for breakfast tomorrow morning.


Lmao,that's a great comparison. Laughing

I'm definitely going to pick up the first volume of Mirrai Nikki (although I don't really like calling it "Future Diary"). I love it and have been waiting for someone to liscense it. Smile

Oh man!
I experienced that whole "loss of composure" thing reading Hot Gimmick. Yelling insults at Hatsumi, cheering on Ryoki's amazingly self-centred logic, laughing to the point of tears ...
It was wonderful.
I wonder how old my kids have to be before I introduce them to this manga... woudn't want to cause any emotional trauma Wink

...As for Cross Game, if the manga is anything like the first episode of the anime... then it's over-hyped maudlin drivel.


Nah, the first episode covers the first manga so that's pretty much it for the "over-hyped maudlin drivel." IMHO at least. You'll have to catch the 2nd episode and manga to see for yourself.

Ouch, sounds like this was a bad week for manga. But I must admit, Hot Gimmick is one of my guilty pleasures too.

Am I the only one who suddenly got that song by Hanson stuck into their head upon seeing the subtitle "MmmBobobop" (Mmmbop?)

I've definitely been eyeing Hot Gimmick recently, since I've been enjoying Honey Hunt's serialization in Shojo Beat. I probably will pick up the VizBig edition at some point, since that should give me a good idea as to whether I want to read the rest (though I am glad to hear that it's only 12 volumes long, that's a good size).


It really is utter crap with bondage issues but I too read the whole thing. Mostly because I was amazed they could create something like it for public consumption. At the time I hadn't read much manga and didn't realize how much of it bordered on fetishy porn.

I loved everything about Dogs, but esp. Mihai and Badou. Guess it takes all kinds. Wink

Hot Gimmick has been interesting read to start, though after reading the first volume I have the feeling that quite a bit of what's going to happen is going to be predictable. I might take my time reading the rest of the series. Bobobo on the other I felt that the anime did a better job executing its gags than the manga did. Maybe that's why Sawai's next manga series didn't last that long either.
