From what I've hear each one targets a diffrent age of men, but other than that I can't get down the overall diffrences between each mag, especially since they moved all the "progressive" stuff from Spirits to Ikki, though Original does seem to be more about traditional titles from what I've seen. Can I expect to find more stuff like Kiichi in Superior? Sorry to double post, but can anyone explain how Shogakukan’s “Big Comic” system works?

I mean I enjoy stuff like Girlfriend or your other "light" projects as much as anyone (diversity is key IMO) but it's stuff like this that makes me fall in love with the medium all over again. Great to hear it. Awesome to hear you taking on such an important project.

Kiichi is denser and would be harder to translate than anything I've read so far. I thought about it for a bit... and promptly chickened out. :P Agreed.

Despite featuring decidedly less gore and graphic violence than Arai's earlier work "The World Is Mine," the impression left on the reader is much stronger IMHO. The way Arai portrays the modern Japanese society is devastating and moving at the same time. I guess it takes a child's unfiltered and unbiased view to unmask the inhumanity in our world. In any case, I consider this project the biggest translation challenge Kotonoha has to face thus far. It will either propel us to a new level or crush us entirely. What can I say? I love to gamble big. ^^;; “Ki-ichi” is one of the most scathing social satires I’ve ever come across.

I bought the first couple of vols of Kiichi recently after reading a few reviews... 'sadistically brilliant' is the only description that comes to mind. But at the same time, way over my poor little head. ^^; Haha, no way!
