Syntax alert:  Sonoda wrote Riding Bean (which is a prequel of sorts to
GUN SMITH CATS), but he didn't write or direct Gall Force or BGC.

Ob. manga:
- There are *4* new KOKO WA GREENWOOD OVAs coming out.  One of them
  is the DragonQuest parody story.  The ad has a scene from the anime
  with the characters in medieval gear.

- A friend of mine was asking about a shojo title called "Over the Lights,
  Under the Moon" (title appears in English).  Are there any compilations
  of it?

I don't think now is the time for K1 to get laid :-)  He has only just
become a she and probably needs a little time to adjust :-)  I think the
latest storyline does show promise [although I thought the previous mini 
ninja eps were fun/kute even if no one else did...]  In the latest 
storyline I'd have though K1 would have been a bit more carefull about 
Urd's stuff by now.  

Yes, Iain, I have Afternoon 3 - there's some really cool stuff in 
this issue, including colour pages for A!MG... *no* Bio-manga though...

Have they stopped overdoing Urd's "tan"?  I think they use way too
much red.  (My private name for vol. 6 is "Kimagure Orange Urd", for
a variety of reasons..)

Hot damn, what the world really needs -- more "Waa!  I just want to be
a manly man/girly girl but I'm trapped in a girly girl/manly man's body!"
stories.  Blech.

I find that especially disappointing since Fujishima also created the
only really sympathetic trans-whatever character I've seen in "mainstream"
comix (Aoi-chan in TSZ).  I thought he put an interesting spin on a 
subject that usually just generates mildly 'phobic or shock humor.

In general, I liked the sympathetic treatment he gave his various 
off-the-beaten-path characters in TSZ (Aoi-chan, Sena & Nakajima's
dad, Strikeman ^_^).  I suppose the equivalents in A!MG are the NIT student
body, which is *never* portrayed in a very positive manner.  (Perhaps our 
MIT correspondents could fill us in -- maybe Tech students really *are* 
like that, in which case I'll shut up ^_^)

I dunno how long it will last, but it seems interesting.  It's Yaz art,
so I'm bound by fate to buy it.  You are right, the story is definitely
better than V1 (in my opinion) and the characters seem so much more 
human.  Now, if only they can get a decent cover artist...

The author (and artist, for that matter) is Kenichi Sonoda.  There are
two volumes out currently (and it's starting to become time for the
third, I think).  Sonoda has done some other manga, in particular
Gall Force, and is a fairly popular anime character designer - he worked on
Gall Force, Bubblegum Crisis, and Riding Bean, which he also wrote.

You must've visited wrong building!  There're plenty of normal

anymore.  They tend to be boring if you're not into that kind

According to an ad in another mag, 'Woman in the Man' has just started in
Shonen Jump 1993 No.5,6 joint volume. Since it has just been started,
there should not be compiled volume out yet. (BTW, I don't know if it is a

touch.

And people wonder why I tend to avoid Viz titles.

That's the way a lot of manga is.  For any given week, "nothing" can happen.
(Or any given volume, even.)  For the artist, it's a 6-, 7- or 8-day-a-week
job, and if the artist is feeling poorly or devoid of ideas, it's a
"nothing" week.  (When it becomes a 4- or 5-day-a-week job, it's time
to start another manga.)

Sometimes it's necessary to the pacing of the story, sometimes the artist
is pissed off that he/she has to draw something that the editor insisted
on, sometimes the assistants drank too much sake and it's time for plan B...

But if you read it in the original manga magazine, at least there's
a dozen other mangas to read if it's a "nothing" week.  The magazine would
probably cost you as much, and it'd have less ads (and the ads would be
more interesting).  And if you bought the compilation, you could read
it all at once.

There's the slight problem of language barrier, but that's only as high
as you want it to be.  After all, the language barrier is the only reason
that the manga-butchering comic companies are making their cheap, fast buck.

I've read the HK version (Chinese).

Starting reminds me strongly of Total Recall. Rest of the story varies from
interesting to quite outrageous. Our hero (Cobra) is an interstellar criminal
who seems to meet plenty of scantily clad women (no nudity though, in the
issues I've come across so far).

Definitely not on my list of great comics. Its readable, but I strongly
recommend leafing through a few pages before buying it.

Yeah, I have two--"Oshioki Shichaukara!" and "Moonlight Densetsu."  I
forget which is which but some of the stories are:

1) Usagi, Rei, and Ami go to the Comiket to sell comics for Usagi's
friend (I forget her name--the one whose mother runs a jewelry shop)

2) An evil Sailor Moon clone shows up and tries to ruin Usagi's
reputation but ends up helping her.  (Teacher:  "Usagi, I'm so proud of
you!  Today, you were only 10 minutes late to class and you got a 30% on
the test!")

There were also some interesting discussions by the authors about how
you could tell Usagi's transformation scene was done by women and Rei's
and Ami's transformation scenes were done by men.

Both of these were put out in the very early part of the series when it
was just Moon, Mercury, and Mars.
