Kind of a late comment, but I took up your recommendation to read up to date on the chapters. I honestly didn’t know that Seo was working on a another series after Suzuka. Stupid me didn’t think to check. Seems you already tackled most of the criticism, I’ll skip that. I really enjoyed how both series’ journey for love unrolls, down-to-earth story but always tugged along to the next development.

Fun fact, after reading Suzuka four years ago, I actually jointed my college’s track team. Seo’s work would always have a special place in my book.

Soulshift: The verbosity is average for shounen. Nowhere near Kare Kano level. LostGamer: Well, who knows. I'm guessing it should find its way there if it gets an anime adaptation. Kurogane: I'm up to the latest volume, which is 10. I don't read by chapters because I read the Japanese tankoubon. And I won't say that they are idiotic, merely confused and misguided. Heh. Ramune: I actually found Suzuka enjoyable, the manga much more than the anime. Kenneth: Wow, harsh. While I agree that the characters are mostly expendable, I think they aren't exceptionally one-dimensional or underdeveloped when you look at shounen titles in general. And the WTF-ness is really the enjoyable part of the whole thing, because I find that this genre suffers particularly badly from predictable tropes. Maybe it's just me.

I just read till chapter 100 of his manga, and i must say that its really good. Its just like you said, the mangaka is a genius i dont know how he comes with these ideas. I thought that the story was over at the end of vol 6 but then the story just kept getting better and better.

I really like this story because you never really know what will happen next, and when you think you know…BAM!! it hits you in the back of your head with a baseball bat!!

Wow, when you said you had regained your enthusiasm for blogging you were not kidding.

If this comes to the United States, I will most likely purchase it. I understand your pains, reading manga with embarrassing covers.

I look forward to your coming torrent of posts.

The way that you’ve described it would make me immensely interested in this story had I not already been reading it.

Problem is, I have. I can’t say it is all that enjoyable, and a majority of foreign and Japanese fans alike share my sentiments of “WTF” at the developments in this story. Basically, the characters are all either under-developed or one dimensional and the actions the hero and heroine take are often illogical or if they’ve been rationalized away, the rationalization is always a failure.

There is a series that is within this same sub-genre called Good Ending that I believe you should read, I feel it is done properly.

I never did give Suzuka a chance. Love Hina redux was pretty much my reaction to the first episode. Maybe I should give it another chance.

Otherwise, great article, will read again. A+++
Heh heh, this series has me interested by how your describing it (romance comedy with no gimmicks? Inconceivable!)
