I only read a part of the second season and I think it is worth it, though it starts in a WTF way.

Not monstrous enough. :p

How'd that end, anyways? Dropped it around the time her clone or whatever started rebelling. Too "pink" for my tastes.

Demon queens are the best. I didn't finish it yet either. I was on break waiting for translation and didn't come back.

Champion Red was pretty much a seinen magazine while Fran was running (for the second half at least) by its own acknowledgement. Wouldn't call Fran shounen myself, but then I'd say the same for Otaku no Musume-san and apparently I'm wrong on that.

Is the definition for these things really just based on what kind of magazine it ran in?

The ending was decent but it was somewhat as cliched like the rest of the story.

Yes. Demographics mean nothing. Only thing you won't see in shounen is hardcore graphic rape like Wolf Guy (that I know of). Champion/Shounen Red is essentially guro what with Shigurui, Chaosic Rune and a few other series.

Yea but it doesn't hurt to note series that you think fits the content of a demographic. Typically when people ask for recommends, such as seinen, they want more adult manga even if that's not really an accurate request. So I'll include series like Welcome to the NHK with some other seinen recommends. And I'll put Blood Lad with shounen. I just always put a little footnote.

Otaku no Musume-san is a tough call for an older demographic. They handle a lot of stuff in a really childish or restrictive manner.

These small panels are always fun. But the latest chapter was oh oh so dramatic. The little girl got the crap beat out of her when typically these series would have the hero swoop in to prevent the first strike. Nope, not here. He never even got up. /swag

God dangit that's morbid. Holding someone's hand on their deathbed and it breaks off, while they're still alive? I would pass out then and there.

Also, good on him for not letting her go. She has arguably the most useful power out of all of them. She's obviously worth the medicine with such a utility power.

Hmm...I don't remember I"s that well but don't recall it being that offensively bad.
Very solid list, no qualms with this one =p.

I"s infuriated me, especially after the Christmas Eve confession They spend another 1/3 of the story forcing Seto into typical MC shenanigans with the neighbour. The final volume was also immensely stupid with Seto breaking up with Iori and the ending was just executed poorly. Overall the investment was not worth it.

And there are 21 volumes.
imo, the french translation made the manga even funnier. Some names are changed so we can understand all the puns. I don't like when they change the original names but I think it's necessary in this one.

While I usually love these kinds of warped short stories, these ones are generally too warped and too short. If the author would do more along the lines of chp 13 that'd be awesome.

"big" isn't really, the right word, but it definitely has an audience. The card game makes a good profit and the TV show gets great ratings.

Ok, thanks. I only read the original series and don't really care about it anymore but it seems that it's dead in Europe (well, France at least).
