Exodus: Well, they have Ai Yazawa on the project who does seem to be in to the whole rock scene. Her manga Nana, which I do enjoy, does have a female punk rock character in it. So she may be a fan of Love and may have jumped at a chance for the project...
Jazzie D: Actual I don't think content will suffer for US/NA joint projects, as for most of them the manga writer is still in control. I expect this to be more along the lines of people like ADV or Tokyopop providing money for a manga, then leaving the creator alone (Much like a producer role).
Dr. Baghead: Tokyopop still hasn't signed Rob Liefield to do a comic, so they are far from the worst company out there..;)
And yeesh, aren't we being a little quick to condemn this project as the worst thing for manga? Sure I could personally care less for Love, but I'm sure what fans she has are intrested in this book (Okay, backhanded compilment...I'm sorry...:P).
And like I said, I doubt Tokyopop came in and told the manga artists to do this. I expect their intrested in the project as well. I say let them do it, nothing wrong with expanding the genres of comics and manga even more....

I suppose. I'll just deal with my business and carry on.
