I read in the back of one of the early Eclipse-published Appleseed that
Shirow read a lot of girls comics back in his formative days (something
called Ribon, I believe).  The reason given was that these comics back
then had more interesting storylines that your typical sports star hero
in the shonen stuff.  Some of the layouts in Appleseed remind me of some
comics I saw at a cousin's house.  For example, those full-figure poses of
Deunan along the side of the page are an awful lot like the "Oh, look at
Candy!" full-figure poses.  Just my opinion. :)

actually, if you are looking for people's 10 most favorite manga title, 
you only need to do the poll once.  I would suggest instead that you
do the poll for manga that is still under publication each month, 
so you can do sort of a monthly poll of "active" manga titles. the advantage
is the subject topic will be fresh and give less penality (and more awarding)
for manga that had evolve and become better.

>Five Star Stories - Yeah, it's fun.

hmmm, while FSS is grand and all that, now only if people can explain 
what is going on in the book 6 (NT April-now) for me.

My all time top 10 is
Urusei Yatsura 		(no surprise) 
Touch			(just edge out) 
FSS  	(the more I know, the more awe struck I got)  
Appleseed  (raising because of Intro Depot....) 
Ghost in the Shell	(best cyber space/reality manga) 
Nausicaa of the valley of wind  (will we ever see the ending?)  
City Hunter   	(so what if the story are repetitious?)  
Maison Ikkoku	(the dream of a couple, the dream of us all....)  
Ranma 1/2	(stock dropping like a rock on me.....)  

My CURRENT top 10 are

Ah! My Goddess	(The latest, from the middle of book 5 to now, are very good) 
Deep and Beautiful Asia (a little weak on story, 2nd place for now)  
FSS	(Did Nagano change his character design after the wedding?)  
Dark Angel  (ok, so Dark is now FINALLY in his first fight........)  
Appleseed  (can't beat the action)  
Gun Smith Cats  (I think Sonoda can use Shirow for author)  
Ranma 1/2   (where is the suspense?)  
Patlabor    (can there be any other ending beside Ingram beating Griffin?)  
? Adachi's new baseball manga  (show promise)  
Yawara!  (approaching the ending that everyone know is gonna happen)

of course, my current list will change each month depend on that month's
manga.  
 

hmmm, I guess my biase for MF, NT, and SS shows... :)

Let's face it; unless Ranma breaks sales records for Viz, the comic
will be dead by issue 7 (remeber Lum?  Fist of the Northstar?).  If
you're lucky, it may run until issue 14.  Considering there seem
to be at least 22 volumes of Ranma, then it will take 77 months,
or about 6 1/2 years to publish just the current volumes.  Will this
ever happen?

My solution is to buy japanese; when Viz publishes the collected volume(s)
for Ranma, I'll think about buying them (of course the prices are
outrageous; a different issue...).

I think the biggest prroblem is that 3x3 Eyes has already gone too far for
people to start translating now. Unlike some others, you have to read from
the beginning for everything to make sense.

If Dark Horse (who are doing most of Studio Proteus' stuff) won't pick
it up  then it's up to the fans to continue to translate the series...

Studio 3x3 and Goddess Studio have done quite a number of translations
and I hope that they (and other groups) can continue to translate the
other stories.  Perhaps we can fill in the untranslated stories before
continuing on with new ones...

Dear People,
      I am donating a set of Viz's English-translated NAUSICAA OF THE
VALLEY OF WIND to my school's library, but I'm having trouble tracking
down Pt.1 #3 (the one with the sideways cover featuring Nausicaa with
her uncles Mito and Goll).  If anyone has a copy in FINE-MINUS condition
or better that they could part with for $3 postpaid, it would be much
appreciated.  It'll be going to a good cause.  I've *already* donated
the following to Brown University's Rockefeller Library:

* CAMELOT 3000 trade paperback (the first-ever comics mini-series; with
     art by Brian Bolland, of BATMAN: THE KILLING JOKE and ANIMAL MAN
     fame).
* ELEKTRA: ASSASSIN trade paperback (controversial satire by WATCHMEN
     writer Alan Moore and eclectic painter Bill Sienkiewicz)
* KAMUI #1-37 (complete set, sewn into two bound volumes by *me*)
* LOVE AND ROCKETS BOOK TWO trade paperback (featuring "Sopa de Gran
     Pena" and "100 Rooms," arguably the two best stories Los Bros
     Hernandez ever did)
* NAUSICAA Pt.I #1,2,4-7 and Pt.II #1-4  [awaiting Pt.I #3 so that the
     set can be bound into two volumes]

     [I bought all the above at 75%-off cover, lest anyone think I'm
wealthy.  I'm agonizing over whether or not I should donate a copy of
Frank Miller's BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS (trade paperback).  I'd
*like* to donate a copy of Alan Moore's WATCHMEN, or Frank Miller's
RONIN, too, but I haven't seen those discounted recently (gee, I wonder
why).]

Yeah, embarassing is about the right word.  (I find it difficult

super-fight scenes with Honmaru and Haruko, for example.)

| Matsumoto, and Hagiwara-senseis.  A ploy to keep readers from switching

I wouldn't mind tracking down the other stories.  A one-shot from
someone like Katsura Masakazu would be terrific (especially if it's
something like his short story Chisana akari, from 1988, also from
Super Jump).  I wonder whether each one-shot will be compiled under
one of that manga-ka's volumes, or whether they will be printed
together as the "SJ Masters" volume collection.

While there isn't a lot in Super Jump that's really interesting 
except for 17-ans, I don't recall too much in Young Sunday lately
that would draw readers away from SJ.

| >Interesting that all the programmers in this story were all female,

| 
| Yeah, and in Be Free most of them got laid by the aforementioned teacher.

Are you talking about Be Free, or about Egawa in your last statement?

Sorry, I must have missed that announcement.  So Viz isn't actually
cancelling said comics, they are just 'pre-announcing' that they are
limited series, even though there still exists 5+ years of material
for each of these manga that may never see print in America.

It really bugs me that great comics like Urusei Yatsura and Ranma get
dropped so they can bring us dreck like Stryker, Gunhed and Alita.

(and just in, Macross II.  I mean, what's the point?  The art is
completely derivative, and the story is identical to the videos.
It will probably be a smash hit for Viz...)

I'm glad I studied Japanese, since nobody will actually publish
more than a fraction of the comics I want to read.

I guess I'm just bitter, since this was supposed to be the golden
age of manga, when you didn't have to know Japanese anymore....

           I'm trying to read the Yawara manga (after hearing from Doi that
   it is one of the best around), but am having a hard time deciphering all
   the Kanji (w/o hiragana/furigana readings!!).
           Is there anyone who's written synopses, or translations for the
   Yawara mangas?
  
                   please respond to thread, as my e-mail
                   is not receiving 100% yet.

A little pamphlet that came with 3x3 Eyes book 12 says that Ko-dansha is
putting out the '93 edition of 3x3 Eyes calendar by Takada Yuzo. The calendar
is made to order, and the deadline for ordering is Sep.30. So if you want
one, you'd better find someway to order it really soon...
