This looks pretty interesting. Smile It looks like a male version of Morning Musume.

Oy.

Some of my students are into these guys (along with all the other Johnny's groups). I think I've heard enough about them already to know that I should stay well away to avoid an aneurysm from the manufactured saccharine-pop overload. Confused

Aw, Hey! Say! JUMP is pretty cute. It's a fitting band for a girl's mag like Ciao. But I expect this is only going to be lighthearted adventures of cute boys and have more to do with their personalities or whatever; I think it'd be cool to go into the nitty-gritty business side of the entertainment industry. THAT would be a great read.

They're kind of more like two mini-groups of 5, in which case it's not that bad.

Hard to tell with those Japanese kids, but no.

This kinda reminds me of Gravitation, man that brings back memories!!

But it's nice to see Hey! Say! JUMP! get their own manga, maybe their anime could top it off, they'll probably add shonen-ai/shoujo-ai elements to it like in Gravitation, sorry this reminds me so much of Gravitation!!

I admit to liking them Embarassed so I'm actually a bit excited about this but the maid manga sounds pretty interesting too.

I think it's a play on the word "Heisei", which refers to the current era in Japan. Something like that.

Out of the three manga in that list, the story with the dog sounds the most interesting. The boy band manga description reminds me of the run of the mill shojo show. The cool type, the rash, yet apparently sensitive type, and last but never least, the pretty boy type.

The maid manga would only work if the series wasn't derprived primarily from fanservice or moe. As for the dog series, that actually sounds rather interesting.

The male version of Morning Musume was called Menudo, ergo the oft-nickname Morning Menudo. Laughing
