SHOJO BEAT!!! (SJ for girls! Finally!)

[true_noir_chloe]

I'm with you guys on Absolute Boyfriend - what's with Watase? o_0 This is absolute(ly) awful.

I really enjoyed Crimson Hero. I'd say it was the best offering in this magazine. Mave, you definitely have to read this - NOW. And, I'm with you Chibs, Momoko is a hoot!

I found I was totally involved in Nana because the characters were interesting (Nana cries ALOT, though). I liked the art and it had an edge to it that is a bit different. I know this is not for everyone - way too much casual sex going around. This is obviously done by someone with no morals. But, I do like this one oddly enough.

Ugh, that guy Nana fell inlove with at the end... Dog meat. I'm surprised anyone liked Nana. It glorified premarital sex even. Why are you all so seemilngy surpprised by Watase? Like when Ashley was surprised by Tanemura's Shinsendumi Cross. We aren't reading works by Christians.

Oh dear Lord, pls don't EVER let this happen. I knew I should have never read Kaikan Phrase.

One could know that just by some of the cover art... xp

[Mave]

I was surprised by Watase Yuu's latest title because she can do better than that especially when that title was released right after Imadoki (which was one of her best titles ever IMO).

Ok, I know I was an idiot for reading Kaikan Phrase. I never said I was proud of my past.

It sure does bite when something like Kaiken Phrase has such beautiful art, but it's trash... The artists just squaunder their awsome talents.

Don't worry Mave, I was only giving you a hard time. xp Speeking of talent get that next chapter of Home done!

Well, that's besides the point...

Actually Alice 19th came between Imadoki and Zettai Kareshi. But pretty close. And Watase is definatly capable of better. Zettai Kareshi is just sick and wrong. I wonder what shes going to do now shes finished it. Is she just working on Genbu Kaidan or what? Hopefully she doesn't do something even worse then Absoulte Boyfriend. -_-. I really liked Alice 19th, Imadoki, and Appare Jipangu. I think it would be cool if they had licesed Appare jipangu instead. I only hav the first volume of that. And its pretty fun.

And i have to say I read some Shinju Mayu too. I didn't know it was smut till after I read it. -_- it was some of her short stuff I read. I warned my friend that she should run if she sees that name. The art is pretty. Its just trash.

I think my Japanese studies teacher said 1-2% of the population in Japan is Christian. And I've only come across a few mangaka who say they are christians.

I take it you've read more than one chapter of Absolute Boyfriend?

Oops, I uh posted that last post. I was on under my sis's name by mistake.

[kazekami]

yes I did. It goes where it shouldn't go ><

[Alice]

Well, I finally read all the excerpts except the boyfriend one. Yep, I think only the last one is one I'm interested in. >.<

[kazekami]

I read more of Absolute boyfriend then I should have. i was hoping it would get better. It only gets worse. >< Its alos called bordom and having nothing to do. I shouldn't have read almost the whole thing.

[Shao Feng-Li]

Dang. I was hoping there would be more to the story...
