RANDOM THOUGHTS FROM THE FLOOR OF A CHAPTERS
1. WTF, you have volumes four through twenty of Eyeshield 21, but not the first three? FAIL.
Oh well, it's a Viz release. It probably sucks anyways. =/
2. Why would anyone in their right mind want to buy a Naruto art book? Kishimoto's art is decent at BEST.
3. Look, I realize I'm not the target audience. I'm male, adult, and I like my manga with punching up ins and not so much the boring romance plots and sparkles.
But, regardless, I'm appalled that Shojo Beat magazine felt that this monstrosity was a good choice for cover art.
Seriously, it's horrifying. Someone better have lost their job over this. Christ.

Fugly cover art always turns me off, regardless of the content. It took a glowing review from Anime News Network (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/minima/gn-1) to make me even consider checking out Minima!- they specifically say in the review that the story and art are much better than the crap on the cover.
For srs, people. Don't you know how everybody judges books?

(For some strange reason, I suddenly wanted to compare her to Orihime, though I don't know why. They're both big hearted and smarter than they initally appear[though intuitive is probably more accurate in Tohru's case] but really not very alike.)
no subject
(Oh, Orihime. How is it even possible for people to hate you? I just do not understand)
no subject
(I don't know! I mean, I get dismissing her early on, because it initially looks like she's just the nice-but-ultimately-unimportant girl with a crush on Ichigo, but she tries so hard! And is so determined! How can they not love her??!?!)

(Trying to catch him? Oh, Orihime... Though I guess she could have thought her...uhm..."padding" would help...)
no subject
(Actually I suspect she was just running up to see if he was alright and then her natural klutziness did the rest)
no subject
(I think she was thinking "OH NO! Boy I have a massive crush on is falling! Must catch!")
ETA: BTW, does the Fairy Tail fandom do this (or anything like it) over LUcy and Ezra? Or is it even big enough to have those issues?

Well, i doubt Fairy Tail will keep to One Piece levels of sanity. The real reason for One Piece fandom being so sane is that there's pretty much no ship wars at all. This is due to the manga being a completely romance-free zone. I mean yeah, there's not exactly a lot of romance stuff going on in FairyM Tail either, but at the same time Fairy Tail's creator hasn't specifically said in response to a reader question that all the characters were already in love...with adventure.
Since nobody's ship is going to be canon, there's little in the way of jealousy or ship rivalry. Keeps everything sane and balanced.

I've peeked around a teeny bit and noticed some Lucy/Natsu and Ezra/Gray stuff, but that's about it. I assume there's Natsu/Gray out there, as it fits the standard slash trends, but I haven't seen it. (Nor do I want to.)
