The early volumes of Death Note say "From the Artist of Hikaru no Go", and the two series are obviously quite different, with polar opposite fan bases. The thing is, many people are fans of a creator,not just a work, making Creator stickers a VERY good marketing tool.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1104289923016279094.post-43018835616395604102010-05-21T12:44:24.656-04:002010-05-21T12:44:24.656-04:00I've actually always preferred TCP to Skip Bea...I've actually always preferred TCP to Skip Beat. Probably because it's not so 'girly.' And I love my girly stuff. I love the darkness of it and in later chapters I find Tsukasa to be truly amazing. <br /><br />I would definitely fork over the money for this if it were licensed. The scanlations start out poor and only get worse. When it comes to series I really love I'd prefer to have 'real' translations sitting on my shelf to reread rathe than dealing with clunky, buggy websites. <br /><br />I don't think VIZ is the best choice for this manga. Most of their releases are heavily categorized between shonen and shojo. They even license obviously josei titles as shojo. There are other companies better suited to a series that is both romantic yet very violent. The only reason VIZ may qualify as a better choice than some is because it has a tendency to license really long series, i.e., Hana-Kimi, Bokura ga Ita, SA, Naruto, etc.Amanda Parkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02048153497801677102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1104289923016279094.post-22157050657639566772010-03-01T18:17:24.775-05:002010-03-01T18:17:24.775-05:00I recently fell into reading scanslations at work,...I recently fell into reading scanslations at work, and read about three volumes of <i>Tokyo Crazy Paradise</i> before dropping it for something more entertaining. <br /><br />It's quite obvious that this is an earlier work than <i>Skip Beat</i>. The writing is pretty pedestrian, the pacing is awful, the world-building is charmless, and the characters are fairly bland. It just doesn't have that giddy spark of madness which lights up <i>Skip Beat</i> like a catherine wheel. <br /><br />In general, I had the same reaction to it that I did to <i>Tsubasa: Those With Wings</i> - an uninspired early book from an artist who got her shit together elsewhere. But what do I know? Fangirls buy similarly crap Matsuri Hino manga by the baleload.Mitch H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01630047498946143646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1104289923016279094.post-66418977960663494382010-02-28T17:45:05.908-05:002010-02-28T17:45:05.908-05:00I was working on a column for my site about exactl...I was working on a column for my site about exactly this! Too slow, I guess. It was pretty much done, but I had to hold off for a break in content to use it. Anyway, I want it licensed too! I desperately want it for my shelf.<br />I tried to figure out the reasons it wasn't licensed yet, and I found them, but they didn't make any real sense.Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17515890913645064808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1104289923016279094.post-10644965988276380602010-02-26T21:25:16.716-05:002010-02-26T21:25:16.716-05:00IIRC this was the same time Angel Sanctuary was ru...IIRC this was the same time Angel Sanctuary was running in Hana to Yume as well, so there were quite a few darker series.
