Anyone else seen the anime?
I got it off BT before it was licsensed by Media Blasters.
I also have the first 4 vol.s of the manga
but that was before Tokyopop got the right to it.
If you want more info on it, here's a great site:

Tokyopop don't have the rights. It's Blu Manga that are translating it. http://blumanga.com/
Tokyopop are just assisting with distribution (I think they're trying to keep their hands yaoi clean but still cash in).
Can't wait to get my grubby paws on it, not to mention Love Mode.
Edit: My mistake. It HAD previously been anounced as a Blu release but obviously they decided it was tame enough to put the Tokyopop lable on. I think that might be proof enough for me that Blu really is just a front to keep lawyers off their backs.

Rosencrantz: Do you think death could be a boat?
Guildenstern: No; Death is not, it isn’t. Death is the ultimate negative; not being. You can’t not be on a boat.
Rosencrantz: I’ve frequently not been on boats.
Guildenstern: No; what you’ve been, is not on boats.

I've seen the Loveless anime, but I have yet to read the manga. Is it true that the manga continues further than the anime? If so, then I might check it out when the manga's released. Loveless had some really cool fight scenes and I loved the shounen-ainess of it all. It also had one of the best anime soundtracks ever. My biggest complaint about this series is the ending. It was way too rushed and [spoiler]abosuletly nothing was resolved. Like, we never found out who the Seven Moons really were, what that whole school of fighters was all about, and what exactly happened to Ritsuka's brother. The ending was such a huge let down because you didn't really learn anything in the end.[/spoiler] Still, it was a good series and I'm glad it's being brought over to the U.S., but it's kind of disappointing that it's not being dubbed.

The manga goes further than the anime. Volume 6 just came out in Japan. You find things out such as [spoiler]Ritsuka's brother Seimei isn't dead[/spoiler] Also the anime pretty much covers through volume 5 of the manga. Maybe if we're lucky in a couple of years there will be a season 2.Cardcaptor Takato wrote:I've seen the Loveless anime, but I have yet to read the manga.

I just read the first volume of the Loveless manga last night and it was really cute. I thought it was even better than the anime. I liked how the manga had more comical moments in it. The Loveless anime was good too, but sometimes I felt like it was a little too serious. I enjoyed how fleshed out the characters are in the manga compared to the anime, even in the first volume there's a lot more character development. I've found Soubi to be a lot more enjoyable in the manga in general than he is in the anime and I feel like I can sympathsize with him better. There's one thing I have to complain about and that's Tokyopop's font size is so small. I even had trouble reading what the characters were saying at times because there were moments where I could barely see the text. I hope that Tokyopop enlarges the font size in future volumes, but I've really been enjoying this series. I loved the anime and the manga looks like it's going to be even better, so I'm definetly going to be continuing this series.
