Oh no no..no guy on guy...it's not Golden Cain. :p Hot Gimmick is very soap opera. Kare Kano is more slice of life. I dunno...I know you've read shoujo, but I know you really love stuff like BotI, LWaC, Berserk, etc...so I was meaning it "girly" compared to that. Go ahead and give it a go! I really love it! |

I try to be diverse in my manga selection, so I think I will give it a go. After all, I have nothing else to read, 'cept rereading Black and White (probobly my favorite manga of all time) for the 20th time. It still manages to warm my heart everytime I read the end of the series
 Then again, I think thats the most touching thing I've ever read, and I'm sure many people who have looked at the books description will think I'm insane, but once they read the third and final volume they will know what I mean.

Ooh, I can't wait! I bought St. Marie 1 based on the positive recommendations of your column and animeondvd.com, and it lived up to my expectations. If not for these reviews, I would never have considered purchasing it, because ADV markets this title so poorly. There is no summary on the back of the book, and the only indication of genre is a "sci-fi" label, which is pretty misleading. Saint Marie does feature psychic powers, but it's essentially a girls' manwha with loads of pretty boys, school drama, romance etc. Just the kind of stuff I like, but ADV couldn't be bothered to inform me of that  Another title that RTO recommended, Sweet and Sensitive, was also well worth the money. Definitely please keep up with the manwha reviews, since there is not a great deal of information about the hordes of new manwha licensed for the US.
Oh, and I just finished Hot Gimmick 6, and totally agree with its placement in "Buy It!". My only worry is that only eight volumes of this series have been published so far in Japan (according to animeondvd.com). Will we have to endure monstrously long waits between volumes after Viz publishes vol. 8? I don't think I could stand it!

Mildly Amusing Anecdote Time: A friend and I were going through our local comic shop a week or two ago, and we spot High School Girls v1. He turns to me and says "I guess those Truth In Advertising people have finally caught up to ComicsOne, huh?"

Lol, I know what you mean, but this is a GOOD thing. I congradulate VIZ on finally catching up with one of their shoujo titles that are still running in Japan, and doing a fine job quality wise. I couldn't edit the manga better myself. *digital image editing I mean*
*imagines Hot Gimmick with girly men* 
Hot Gimmick only really has one guy that I'd consider possibly girly, and that'd be Azusa the model, and that's only because he's a model. The guys in Hot Gimmick in my opinion are quite realistic *except for their whacked out antics that cause all the drama* with the way the act and behave, which is another reason I hear guys who read Hot Gimmick enjoy it. They can connect with some of the guys. They aren't the macho men you find in your seinen manga, they're normal teen guys. Ryoki/Hastumi 4 Ever! *just heard about the latest chapter of Hot Gimmick from Japan, and is quite pleased with the current events*

I'm gearing up for another Manwha special soon, so hopefully I can recommend some other series that you'll find worthwhile.
