Selfish Love (manga)
Publication. Some copies of the English version of "Selfish Love" #1 were accidentally printed with missing pages. On November 17, 2004, Be Beautiful Manga began offering to replace any defective copies. In keeping with American mores, the characters' school was changed in the English version to being a college rather than a high school. Reception. "Selfish Love" carries an 18+ age advisory. Kristy L. Valenti, writing for The Comics Journal, felt that rape fantasy played a part in the unwillingness of Ryuya, and enjoyed the portrayal of "fag hag" Azusa. Mike Dungan found the "near-rape  of Ryuya confronting, killing any enjoyment" Dungan had for the first volume. He felt the manga improved with the character development of Orito, and that Ryuya's growing love for Orito made amends for the first volume's portrayal. He also enjoyed the character of Azusa, expressing a wish for a volume about her. Janet Crocker, writing for "Animefringe", noted the lack of explicit sex in the title.
