Should've replaced Franky and Usopp with Robin and Brook.

Ah if only the anime had actually done a Homra at the beach episode. It was hilarious all the way around, Yata moments the best and then just seeing everyone in beach attire. For the plot, Kamamoto made me laugh about the ghost line and how it already had no blood no bone and no ash when Mikoto was gonna try to burn it with his flame.

This is like the fake crew all over again. Eww in other words.
What would be the best, all the things I have read from her are very.
EH with 1 amazing character that could carry a manga by themselves.

Hm, nothing really happened besides psudeo-yuri. Good sign for me to not watch this show in the summer.
And yet, you would be excited if it was pseudo-yawnoi; disgusting.

I'm a pretty big fan of ranma 1/2 and maison ikkoku, but you have to like her particular brand of... filler.
You could look into mermaid saga, which has pretty different themes compared to what she usually does.
You don't say.
I have not heard of maison ikkoku, I didnt like ranma though all the characters were horrid.

Blasphemy, good sir. :O
Mermaid saga is very different though. You might like it.

Somewhat funny premise of a dude turning into a magical girl, but man the art is kinda rough. Will follow though. Seems like it could be a pretty good gag series.
Could have sworn that I've read a manga with a similar premise before though.

It gets surprisingly... steamy.
Hot guy actor wanting to bang cute guy otaku, but they're both pretty confused. At least it seems to have a more interesting premise than 90% of yaoi, as dumb as it is.

Akane is still the best.
Gris and the sister teaming up to create even more Yaoi couples was pretty funny.

Huh.
Like on mainstream TV? Weird. I would think this series would get at most an OVA.
Also, kind of an interesting tidbit. Seems like the two people who were making this manga has a history of making yuri.

Remember kids.
Lubricate properly.
You know, this series really mark why I don't like Yaoi. There's so little tension in any relationship, and everything climaxes (*rimshot*) too quickly just to get to the part where guys are either doing cute things with each other or having sex with each other. Though I guess a proper love story or exploration of a deeper relationship isn't really the point.
At least it seems like there's going to be some drama with this Jin dude.
Also Izumi is such a goddamn idiot. He is pretty damn cute though.

Freaking out over what exactly? Nothing megaton I've heard from the anime/manga world recently except the Nisekoi anime and the bill in Japan.
Nisekoi anime is hardly a megaton.
The next likely thing to attract the kind of attention Shingeki got would be Terra Formars, I think.

I wonder if Terra Formars would leave JPN, one of the editors on the viz podcast really like(s/d) it.
That's because there isn't? I'm not sure what the point is here.
Every story can be judged based on standard expectations of what a story is supposed to be. Demographic also comes into play with this factor, as when you focus on a demographic you have to be a successful storytelling experience for that demographic (protip: neither Naruto or Bleach has done this).

I might need to pick this up.
I also need to see the in game playable characters for D2 or the DLC listings.

"Demographic doesn't matter, except that demographic is a factor." Whatever you're attempting to say here is lost. In any case, I'll refer you to my good old buddy:

Im fine with One-Punch Man (it is about time viz announce it for print and digital, I guess at a summer expo), france can keep Terra formars to themselves.
The problem is, that if you are making something sexually explicit (which this is), you kinda need to give your audience what they paid for- at least 1 sex scene per volume (or every few chapters). This is going to lead to the relationship being rushed. This isn't noticeable in straight stories, because everyone understands a boy-girl relationship, but in yaoi, you have to have the 2 guys meet, the 2 guys realize that despite the fact that its wrong, they love each other (because gays don't exist in japan, apparently), and then sex. In a perfect world, you could have a story that goes 30+ chapters before they ever bang out, but who is going to buy an 18+ series for months at a time before getting and steamy moments?
Love Stage rules BTW. Izumi is the worlds shittiest Mangaka.
I'd glady trade Terra Formars for OPM (I bought the Japanese volumes but still)...

Theres a few that get are getting close to that.
I was talking about your bragging about France. But it seems like you weren't even aware that you were bragging about manga publication in France...

I know I wouldn't. If I'm getting a 18+ series, I demand all the action that it promises me.
If I want fluffy romance, I'll get some shounen-ai.

I guess I just want a manga that's a fun and good exploration of a gay relationship, with a proper build up, development and exploration of a relationship. Though in that respect I guess I don't actually like a lot of romance manga, whether it is yuri, straight or yaoi, because it's either shitty harem or just an excuse for fanservice. Don't even really need any sexual stuff, though it's a nice bonus.
He is a pretty shitty mangaka, though it seems like they're ignoring that aspect in favour of making him a cute idol. Which could go either way. His shittiness was pretty adorable though.
See, I think it could be fun if they explored how Ryouma and Izumi's relationship could develop if they both go on their own paths as a star and a mangaka respectively, but I guess we're just going to make izumi a star too just to play it safe.
Man that's exactly what I want, too.

Living Game vol. 2
When I asked for an unobnoxious love/relationship manga I didn't expect anything to fit that description this well. Props to survivor again. Don't know why I'm going so slow, the characters are likable and the story is pretty good so far.
Green Blood ch. 24
This has been pretty good so far with amazing art to boot. I wonder how long Brad and Luke's story will go though, it's moving pretty fast and the end game is "just" killing their father.

Demographic doesn't matter when it comes to whether something should even be judged or not, but it is a factor in said judging. Everyone should expect Blues Clues to be made to appeal to 6-or-under, but that doesn't mean it can't be judged based on story standards.
Also not every story has underlying themes in it.

The closest I've read is Octave, though the protagonist is so duuuuuuumb.
