I'm almost positive that Volume 14 will come out earlier then November and so Volume 15 will come out earlier then January... but, I can't be certain. The other volumes have been released earlier then scheduled to, so I think the same will hold true for these two last volumes.

On Volume 3 & 8 It shows sex scenes, and in Volume 3 it shows Yoji sitting up on the bed naked....but where his privates are meant to be, it's just a white blank...what's up with that? And why does it do that?

Yeah, in case someone was wondering, this is also found in the Japanese manga--this isn't Tokyopop's doing.

The same thing is in effect with the pixelation to be found in Japanese pr0n. 2001, 2003, 2004

And since there's a lack of any real detail it's like the symbolic form of nudity frequently seen throughout anime.

I've seen some of the Alien 9 manga and it looked very chibi. Hard to imagine him doing anything BR related. I'm trying to get Blitz Royale, but I've had no success. I don't really know why Koshun Takami choose to work with him, I guess he sits on a hill and shouts to people with a megaphone, asking for a manga-ka. Blitz Royale was made when Masayuki Taguchi was occupied with Battle Royale so maybe Tomizawa was just aviable for work? I don't know how this system works...

Blitz Royale isn't nearly as well drawn as Taguchi's art, but then again, most manga artists aren't that detailed either (especially Shonen artists...they have to get chapters done for their manga every week). But I admit, the more cartoony Digimon-esque style of Blitz Royale's a turn off. It's hard to take the characters seriously when they look that goofy.

Posts: 154 (08/18/05 00:05:15) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	As far as I know, most mangaka have assistants, whether their work is detailed or not. It depends on a series of conditions, but of course there is a higher probability for detail-obsessed mangaka (ie., Miura, Hagiwara, Taguchi himself) to have a whole bunch of assistants, who usually draw backgrounds or fill black areas (I swear). Anyway - not every manga is serialized weekly. But yes, many of them are.

I know that some translations switch it around here in America. But I can't tell it they did that in the BR novel. It doesn't help that some appear to be called by they're family names and some by they're persaonal names. So is it Shuya or Nanahara as his family name?

In the novel, most of the students are reffered to by thier given names, I suppose the translator did this to make it easier for western readers, is you look at the class list in the novel the names are listed as given name, family name, i that order.
