Man that name is so misleading, why not call it Grand Jump H or something like that. Now people are going to expect robot sex. I wonder how Amy Wong would react to this.

It's めちゃ (me-cha like etch-a-sketch), not メカ, so I think the confusion only comes up in translation.

The focus of the magazine will be "sexual entertainment" for "men and women of all ages."

Confused
Okaay. This is a bit confusing.
Reading the second part of the statement, I almost thought this magazine was child friendly.

I wonder if Kentaro Yabuki and Saki Hasemi will (that is if they decide to) release the sequel to their To Love-Ru Darkness manga since it can only mean that they will have to up the ante with the ecchi (sexual content) to the point where we might finally see some "penetration", but I don't know for sure if that's what this new magazine by Shueisha is really about.

If "mecha" in this case doesn't mean "mechanical", then perhaps the magazine omit that word. That is, unless, they were to make erotic stories about Gundams. By this, I mean the actual mobile suits themselves.
