quote:
Iggy, you wouldn't happen to know the publisher of this manga, would you?
So... It's at Kadokawa comics, 540 yen/volume, maybe 5 or 6 volumes long (but I think it far from the end), the autors are Okuse Saki (scenario) and Meguro Sankichi (drawing). the ISBN of the first volume is 4-04-713398-1 . Oh, and the title in japanese is 低俗霊DAYDREAM.
Well, that said, it is far from beeing one of thoses astonishing manga I think everybody should read, like Berserk, the volumes 20-67 of Jojo, stuffs of Urasawa Naoki, Outsuka Eiji or in a somewhat different genre Morinaga Ai (or in a mood closer to some works of Outsuka : Glass no Kamen), but still its reading is entertaining.
It is not original at all, though : the drawing is some kind of that hype style of drawing that can get very boring (= copy of Tajima Sho-u, like Obata or Asada) but it's still easy to read, and that's what matters. The atmosphere is far from beeing original too : stories of ghosts and people that deal with dead people are very, very popular now (because of Ring, maybe?) but the good point in this manga is that the real job of the heroin (beeing a S mistress in a SM bar) provides many, many funny quotes that make the atmosphere of the manga very particular (because the stories of dead people are everything but fun). Even all the somehow H scenes (the mistress in action, or the numerous drawing of the heroin naked and fully shaved) are most of the time very, very funny, so it doesn't has that... "glair"(*) feeling we could fear from such a thema.
Conclusion : if you have the opportunity, have a look!
(*) my dictionnary gives me "glair" and "glairy" for the translation of "glaire" and "glaireux" in french. It's the same meaning (mucous, etc) but amongst many people here, glair has a new meaning : it's about all those pityfull things many otaku call "fanservice". Examples : Love Hina and everything of the same scale (Chobits, Aamegamisama, Tenchi Muyo, Mahoromatic...), Katsura Masakazu, everything the Gainax sells around Eva and Nadia... You know, that kind of stuff not really erotic, but just about showing little pantsies of some random girl without any need, or stories of a poor otaku (or/and nerd) alone but actually it's a really nice guy, yes, for sure, and somehow, magically, a bunch of girls (all beautifull) come and live with him, and he falls in love with the most beautifull of all the girls (who is most of the time the one who has the less personality, so she can't be a threat for the hero/reader that already doesn't has much personality). And if you talk to the glairy that read that, they most of the time say that no, they don't read it for the glairy part, just because it's a nice love story with charismatic characters and such, and it could be a shojo manga if it hadn't been drawn by a guy.
Overall, it's bullshit. And Teizokuon Daydream is really, really far from those Katsura-type panties shots.
Sorry for writing so much out of the subject. Now, I think I will have my ass flammed like never.
[EDIT] now that I think of it, I should add to the list of glairy things dating games, including Sakura Taisen (wich I like, especially the 3, especially Loberia and Hanabi) and the Justice Gakuen bonus games (which were amongst my favorite games on PS1), and games like DoA that focus mostly on the heroins (and the king of glairy game would be that Beach Volley thing).
And, no, I don't like those games because they are dating games, I like them because they are fun, and they have a real scenario, yes, you know, scenario, that's what matters. And I don't like Pepe and DD because they are hot, just because they have a REAL personality and an interesting scenario. Yes, for sure, trust me.
おおむね大好評よ！

Don't know if I'd like a big robotoic sluggish arm like his. Wonder if he goes through pain when that happens.
