LoveCom- So good, I'm glad I bought it.
Gintama- I want this manga, it's one of the only SJ titles that interests me. Yotsuba- I need to get to buying volume 2... |

I totally agree about the Osamu Tezuka rant. Hunting high and low for volume 7 of Phoenix is killing me.
 I think I found an online store that might have like, the last copies in stock, but I'll never know if I'll actually be able to get one. I really wish there were more publishers out there like Vertical that showed Tezuka manga some real respect. And when is Viz's license to Black Jack gonna expire? Vertical said they'd totally release it if Viz would stop sitting on the stupid license.

I agree about Tezuka's work. The only one of his works that I've seen which is readily available is Buddha, and complete at that, even at bookstores. While you will see a scant few volumes float around every now and then of some of his other stuff, you will see nothing in the ways of a complete series. While Vertical may be boutique, you have to give them credit for making there work available to the public, unlike if I gather your thoughts correctly, another publisher that begins with a V.

To each his own, as the saying goes. As for me, it took one volume of Gacha Gacha, and that was it. I've run through my fair share of harem works before, and this one added nothing that I hadn't seen before spoiler[(outside the fact that the harem consists of one girl with multiple personalities)]. I'll admit that the hook thrown out at the end of the first volume had me half-intrigued, but then again, half-intrigued ≠ me giving up money. |

I meant that girls' sports stories are less common than boys sports stories. Your point is totally valid but it has nothing to do with what I was trying to say ... write ... in there. |

It's josei, not shonen, but as mentioned, you should really check out The Story of Saiunkoku. (Ignore the summary; it covers like the first 4 episodes.) |

Because it is supposed to be a section to "highlight" manga, not exactly to review them. I had the same question and they answer it every week in the forum. They will continue to get this question because this "highlight" section is in the exact same format as all the other reviews. If they truly want to make it a highlight section and stop the confusion about the grading, they need to change the format to something more similar to the "Best/Worst" section or something. It bugs me that they don't. |

Eyeshield 21 keeps proving itself to be the ONE sports manga that people need to read. I don't even like football that much but it always keeps me on the edge and more importantly, it is ridiculously funny as Hiruma is one of the funniest characters I've ever seen.

Yotsuba is great! My local library has it so I've been enjoying it when it's in. Haven't really read any of the other series though good to know to stay away from Gacha Gacha, didn't look that good to begin with though.

*does a fangirl cheer for Eyeshield 21* YA~HA!
I think I know why it's the only sports manga title I like... probably because, the mangaka has stated (wish I could find the interview again) that he doesn't even want it to be labelled a sports title. It's even moreso, about the characters... just being fun and awesome. And man do I hate football, but with Eyeshield, that doesn't even matter! Can't wait til the Shinryuuji and Oujou games get to the states... if you think Poseidon was a long game. HA! |

Hmm... The only shoujo sports manga I can think up right now on the spot would be My Heavenly Hockey Club. The female lead isn't interested in the guy at all, spoiler[despite how she's often told he likes her...]

I'd go so far as to say Gintama is the antithesis of the typical Jump book.
