X-MEN: Shoujo manga??

[hatsuu-kun]

So, Del Rey and Marvel are taking the plunge together.

Like, turning X-men into a shoujo romance high school manga. With Kitty as the main character. Wolverine will be a bishounen. They allwill.

It just... doesn't really compute, does it? Not for me! I mean, like... WOW. eek

There's also going to be a shonen manga, called Wolverine. But still ...

I just found this and felt the need to post it. Cause, you know. cheese_whine  

[Tinuu]

I READ ABOUT THAT!
I swear, I was laughing for ten minutes straight!

Well, Wolverine looks awfully bishie... just not very wolverine-ish, which I find hilarious.
Honestly though, I think that the comic book industry does have faults, but this is not the way to fix them. :/  

[hatsuu-kun]

I just want to read it out of curiosity. Can they pull it off?

Here's a link with a couple of pictures. ----> http://pwbeat.publishersweekly.com/blog/2007/12/10/marvel-and-del-rey-announce-manga-pact/

I think they should make a high school secret heroes manga with ALL the heroes. Marvel and DC. IMAGINE: A mysterious team, consisting of the geeky Peter Parker, the handsome but reserved Clark Kent, the stoic loner Bruce Wayne and his little tagalong Robin and a billion others. Heck, just for fun, let's add Scooby Doo and the wholoe gang even if they don't have anything to do with anything.

Okay, I'm joking. >.> But I would smile if were to happen.

That idea = WIN.
There can also be the old fashioned, 40's mindset principal Steve Rogers, and computer whiz barbara gordon and Tim. Who'd be gay for Conner.  

[hatsuu-kun]

HELLZ YES. I'm smellin' SUCCESS.

Can we add Hiro Nakamura and Peter Petrelli too?  

[Tinuu]

OMG YES
Peter Petrelli can be the dreamy artist who's failing algebra and Hiro Nakamura would get rejected by a girl in the cafeteria. <= apparantly happened to Osa Maki  

[hatsuu-kun]

Did that really happen to Masi? >o< That makes him ten-thousand times more adorable. I wish I could speak three languages like him, too. I flipped out when I found out one of hisn favorite mangas is the same as mine (Eyeshield 21!).

Who else can we add? I think aynone could join in on the bandwagon, at this point.

Ha ha. And we have pretty-boy wolverine to thank for this brilliant idea. wahmbulance  

[Nyang]

NEEDS MOAR GAY.

And by gay I mean Apollo and Midnighter. Midnighter can be the Math teacher, while Apollo's the English teacher. Anyone who even thinks about making some kind of slur gets their head kicked off.  

[needlesandguns]

This looks interesting...
I have to say I'm looking forward to seeing what a less threatening, teenage Wolverine is like.  

[Tinuu]

Honestly, I think he'll be the typical, badass, cold bishounen. Like... Sasuke. With claws.  

[fightingcomet]

I...I...Bu...GAH. DX

I CANNOT EVEN PUT ANYTHING INTO WORDS. WOLVERINE JUST...AHHHHH.

...Sadly, I want to read this JUST to see the bishie. o-o  

[Akasora]

honestly... O.o I feel like a small piece of my soul just died.... (sorry I have grown up with wolverine comics and bishonen wolverine...)  

[yupui]

wolverine was revolutionary in the comic universe for being the first real MANLY man

with like, body hair and s**t


this development simply disgusts me  

[yoruai]

well, it'll be interesting to see XD

but wow... Wolverine looks....

...Different XD
