[edit] Overview

Rather than just a comparison to the original series, it is important to cover an overview of the Manga as its own separate entity. Also it current article only talks about differences to the original series, it should be described as its own entity with character descriptions. comment added by Stextc (talk • contribs) 12:23, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Release

The release section is not required. It should be integrated in with the Bibliography. Having it in a table would make it more readable.

[edit] US release

The release date for the USA is in error. I* was able to purchase the first volume on April 25.

  • Whoever I am. This was in the chain bookstore "Books-a-Million" in Florida.

In response to previous, I have checked with Amazon, and it lists publish/release date as May 5, 2006.

The third volume has already been released as of November 14-random anonymous person.

Amazon.com now has American release dates for Vols. 5 and 6 listed, as June 20th and September 19th, respectively... dunno if that should be put in the article. -DiRF

[edit] The Covers

Are the covers portrayed in the article accurate? The cover given for volume 1 appears to have a number 3 (and is, indeed, identical with the cover of volume 3), whereas the cover in the infobox has a 1. Theelf29 01:16, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

No, they aren't. Don't know what I was thinking. --Gwern (contribs) 06:54 17 February 2007 (GMT)

Do we really need the covers? Their formatting stretches out that section of the article, and honestly, I don't think they're all that necessary. If people want to see them badly enough, they can go to Amazon. Willbyr (talk | contribs) 04:43, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

The additional covers do not add much to the article. It also violates WP:NFCC One-article minimum. Non-free content is used in at least one article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.168.148.111 (talk) 11:07, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

What of NFCC does it violate? Those images are being used in at least one article - this one. --Gwern (contribs) 16:47 25 October 2007 (GMT)

Sorry it shouldn't be the One-Article minimum. The reason is : 3(a) Minimal usage. As few non-free content uses as possible are included in each article and in Wikipedia as a whole. Multiple items are not used if one will suffice; one is used only if necessary.

There is no real need for all 3 covers. As stated the really don't add anything to the article. This is not free content and as such 1 cover is enough to illustrate the series. Gwern, please post discussion here. I would like to get agreement with yourself prior to removal of the images. Stextc 03:34, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Genres

I'm confused, because in the genre box, it says BOTH shoujo and shounen. Does that mean it for boys and girls or a simple mistake?

[edit] anymore?

does anyone know for sure that the run time of the manga ended at 2005? arttic00 (talk) 22:12, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
