Issue 29 Bottom 5:
Wait... Psyren's getting a light novel? Awesome! Though I kind of expected a drama CD before a light novel... Oh well, its one step closer to an anime now
!
So it means that there will be new volume release methinks xD <usually it happens with Kishi that way xd>Googlez_kun said:
I hope that's true,it would make up for the wait.^^
Why's that?^^
No it is not. If that was the case Medaka would have just as many colors as Kuroko at least. The color is most likely for its anniversary since it debuted Issue #24 2009 and hasn't received anything for lasting a year yet.
Hope it will come true <OP did have colour pages back then at 500, but it was 501/2 if I recall correctly - or sooner, but around the number xd>Negative Syndicate said:
That alsoGooglez_kun said:
But my prediction: in the week which we will have a break from Naruto, there will be a release of volume - tells me intuition xD <there were times before that it was that way, that's why I think it might be this time also - chapters covering 52nd volume are already out for some time>
I guess that's better than having the 500th and then taking a break.
Oh yeah that's right Medaka already passed 50 chapters. But I wonder how many chapters will it last I don't think it will last longer than Mx0 maybe.
Lock on won't be cancelled because Medaka is already one year old and it's ranking isn't great so they will most likelly give lock on some time to stabilish and if it can't than they will cancel it.
Actually it probably does. It has a successful author attached to it and is the only ecchi series in the magazine, as well as having reasonable tankoubon sales.
Medaka doesn't need to be a super long series imo. Definitely not something that goes on for 8-10 years.
Propping up and being left to its own devices as long as it doesn't go on a dead last losing streak are two different things imo. Beelzebub, Kuroko, and some would claim Toriko at its start were examples of the former. Medaka is an example of the latter. Unless something special is happening a bone isn't thrown its way and I highly doubt Medaka can manage to stay in the death spot like TLR did for months on end without getting an axe thrown its way.
Heh, no need to defend it to me. I read it and enjoy it quite a bit. I wasn't really into it changing into a battle manga, but I was quite surprised at how original it was able to be doing one of the most cliched things a series can do when it isn't a mega hit.
I actually remembered what To-Love was the first year, being sort of a poor-man's UY with actual character development and bits and pieces of ecchi. It had potential...which is ultimately squandered, wasted and barfed on, whether or not it has to do with everything that happened to the mangaka involved. Personally though I doubt it ever would have been a battle manga, maybe more along the lines of a more perverted Jump romance.
My bad. With all the shots that get thrown its way I pretty much always come in debate mode when discussing the series. If people didn't act like there were no improvements at all and if there weren't so few members that argue in favor of it that wouldn't be the case.
I don't think it would have became an outright battle manga either but I believe the transition wouldn't have been all that hard if Yabuki wanted. To Love Ru in its first year did a number of things right and I too believe it squandered its potential. Granted most of us just accepted it for what it eventually became but I always wonder what could have been.
The problem is that Yabuki wasn't really in as much control as we think. Remember: he went into To-Love as an artist, not as the writer and artist like he was in Black Cat. Therefore the writer seems just as much, if not more, at fault probably with the horrible direction To-Love went into after the first year. I doubt it would have really become a battle manga but somehow if Yabuki had a bit more control of his life that the series wouldn't have just collapsed after the first year from a "nice romance series with fanservice" to "fanservice-mania".
