So...Shonen Jump is going to replace Slam Dunk with Tegumi Bachi in the New Year.
Well that's it. I've had it with same old supernatural fight stories up to the freaking eyeballs.
Bleach is okay but it's not something I naturally turn to. This will basically leave me with only Naruto to read and that isn't enough for me to bother renewing my subscription as I can keep up with the story online.
ShojoBeat is at least giving me a magazine where I follow half the stories eagerly...but editorial decisions are as random as farts in my opinion. I still haven't forgiven VIZ for publishing ALL but the last chapter of Backstage Prince and then telling us to buy the book to find out how it ends. *grrr*. If they do that with Crimson Hero I'm going to make someone eat a volleyball.
SPEAKING OF WHICH ~ So how is it that a SPORTS story can exist happily in the girls' anthology but not the boys? SURELY only 30% of them are sitting on their fat asses playing video games! How is it that they can't sell a story about basketball to kids in North America (that's their excuse for pulling SlamDunk) which is pretty fertile ground for such stuff if you ask me....and prefer to put in some quasi-supernatural schlock. SMELLS like another way to sell gaming products and spin off material to me. You can't do that with SD...because it's just a story about a boy who wants to win the heart of a girl by playing basketball.
You know...I do wish VIZ would put out a manga anthology for people older than 12.....and see the damned stories through to the end. That will never happen though ~ because there are no video or card games to sell alongside the mature material. Thank GOD for Dark Horse or we'd never get any Seinen....
Speaking of mens' manga ~ Path of the Assassin #13 is I think the 4th volume in a row where the story revolves around sex of some sort. This takes some doing considering the subject matter. I am left scratching my head as this historical drama decends into eromanga territory and I wonder if the original readership was flagging so badly that they had to make it into a feudal era Crying Freeman? *0__o!!!
This coming from a diehard yaoigirl has GOT to sound funny.
Oh I can hardly WAIT to hear what my mother has to say about this when she snatches up the lastest volumes *rolls eyes*
