Um. I searched. Found no topic like this. Hopefully there isn't though.
OH YES. New series by Yuu Watase. [She's the best. You know it.]
Anyway. I'm really looking forward to reading her new manga coming out.
It's called Absolute Boyfriend and I got to read the first chapter and it's actually pretty funny.
Anywho. Have any of you read up on this series?

I agree too!!! I have her Imadoki, Ayashi No Ceres, and Alice 19th. ::nods head:: I can not series wait until it actually comes out as a manga (Absolute Boyfriend). I also read it in Shojo Beat and I'm glad we actually get it now! There is another one that I read in Shojo Beat that I want, I believe it's called ::goes to check:: Nana. That also looked interesting.

It's a good manga, I read up to volume 4. I like the fact that he's nakes a lot XD I bought them whilst in Singapore, but I saw now that you can buy them online as well from Chuang Yi translations:

Isn't it called Zettai Kareshi or something in Japanese? Dunno.
I read it as scanlations, a little while before it got released. I finished most of it, then I couldn't find anything EXCEPT for the last chapter--it was pretty sad--had a few tears, but not that big a deal. :]
The boyfriend's name.. was it Night or Knight? His looks reminds me a lot of Yuuhi from Ayashi no Ceres...
And that neighbor of Riiko's... He's pretty hot too... His looks kinda reminds me of Tooya from Ayashi no Ceres.

The series is going to be a published manga series, outside of ShojoBeat, if it isn't already. In any case, I love it and will continue to read it even after my SB subscription expires.

I don't know why, but I find the idea of a "droid" boyfriend to be kind of kinky. Especially since all he really is is a live sextoy.

Yuu Watase is a freaking genius. Although AB isn't anywhere near as good as FY I still like it.
I get it from Shojo Beat. Anyone else besides me notice that Watase always has love triangles??
Miaka, Tamahome, and Hotohori. (YAY FUSHIGI YUGI!!)Aya, Tooya, and Yuuhi. And now Rikku, Night, and Soshi.

I started noticing it recently. And did anyone ever notice she draws the 'hero' of her mangas/anime VERY similiarly? x_X

yeah i noticed that... personally i dont like using the same features over and over again and just changing the hair. gets me really confused on who who's especially if the drawings are in black and white.
but people already know the ending!?

Apr 16 2006, 02:59 PM
Could someone PLEASE tell me how the manga ends before I have a coronary?
I love Watase's work but she has a way of killing off the people I gush over (ex. Hotohori from Fushigi Yuugi ... Aki and Shuro from Ayashi no Ceres) ... I really can't take anymore!
*sniffle* Is Night going to be okay?

Yeah she does. But for some reason, I think Fushigi Yugi looks a little bit different than her other works. FY looks more distinguished to me for some reason.
I guess it's because it's been a while since she made FY. People's style do change over 10 years.
Tamahome still is the hottest though.
