IMHO, comic art's greatest strength is it's ability to exaggerate and, bringing out their essence in a way that's more real than reality. Ala Hiroyuki Imaishi, Sam Keith, Felipe Smith, etc. So that's not a negative to me. In fact, I love the art in HotD.
Re: Qwaser's premise being gross, Santos described "Lychee Light Club" as ""foul, [and] disgusting," so that can't be a consistent grounds for dismissal. Plus, a large number of Americans would consider the premise of "Wandering Son" equally gross.

It's a fair argument that sometimes execution can be just as important, sometime even more important than content, when it comes to whether an individual thinks that one title succeeds whereas another one fails

According to Deb Aoki, the Most Anticipated Upcoming Manga list needs to be split in two: Most Anticipated and Most Wanted. Too bad, there are some titles there I would love to have, and I briefly got my hopes up.

| Quote: | | starting with Mitsuru Adachi's baseball manga Cross Game. Butcher noted that Adachi serves as inspiration for many manga creators, including Ranma 1/2 and Inuyasha creator Rumiko Takahashi. He also praised Viz's release of omnibus volumes rather than a larger number of shorter volumes. The other panelists joined in praising the series, noting that they've never cared as much about baseball games. |
Now if only Viz would bring out Touch!......
