I did cut my post (at least my own quote) and yet it's still so long... ;_;

I know somebody didn't like one of the recommendation threads that existed a bit due to the recommendation being "repetitive" (there are other recommendation threads...) and spammish, and well, it didn't end pretty. ^^;;; [chop, chop] I felt it was worth mentioning even if maybe I get picked on (but I'm not picking on Chuseisha, but I mentioned it because it suited it, in my opinion at least >_>). *...ducks...?*
If this is about me don't worry... I don't like threads that just ask for recommendation without any specificity. That's useless, or threads that have been done and redone more than a thousand time like: recommend me a good shounen. Well why doesn't he just read the 20 other threads about the best shounen and shounen recommendations?
This one seemed to me to be somehow specific, just want a good drama, right? and it hasn't been done to death before. So it's all good.
(And just a note: I'm not an evil maniacal mod... yet)
Oh no, I didn't mean you. ^^> ^_^; I meant someone else but I didn't want to point too obviously at the person (well I guess I had enough nerve to bring it up but didn't want a fight, at least here). I've haven't been checking the forums the last few days so if there was any extra threads that started and then locked in the last few days, I don't know about them. (And I lost all my recent posts I guess when I clicked under releases and then clicked or didn't click "view forum posts".) And besides, I don't think I've really seen you "pick on me" or any other member, at least not without the rules backing it up. ;)

And on the subject, sorry chueisha can't help you. There is nothing I hate more than drama + romance. My poor heart can't take it.
Well, I thought you didn't like shoujo much anyhow, so that makes it hard to find anything to like in there. I guess the cry was definitely for "your poor heart". ;) By the way, what's your limit of the drama-romance area? If it ends up in a shounen story, do you curse the mangaka for adding it in? ;) Or maybe somehow you've avoided it altogether maybe with seinen manga that doesn't anywhere near that area?
I wonder if Chueisha's "drama" could be elaborated more if a person hasn't read the two manga she mentioned. I look on m-w and for drama I get...
Quote
1 a: a composition in verse or prose intended to portray life or character or to tell a story usually involving conflicts and emotions through action and dialogue and typically designed for theatrical performance : play — compare closet drama b: a movie or television production with characteristics (as conflict) of a serious play; broadly : a play, movie, or television production with a serious tone or subject <a police drama>
2 a: dramatic art, literature, or affairs
3 a: a state, situation, or series of events involving interesting or intense conflict of forces b: dramatic state, effect, or quality <the drama of the courtroom proceedings>
That seems pretty open to me.
^^> But maybe the two she mentioned are popular enough since both are licensed, and Snowdrop has been known for sometime, and after looking for 2 months, 2 days waiting probably isn't as long. ;)
I guess more like romantic comedy movies that tend to be more serious in tone? And I guess if chueisha has to take a break from romantic dramas, maybe she'll move on to J-dramas and Korean dramas? That would be a lot harder on HD space though. xD

And I've probably put a dark cloud over thread/matter now that I've mentioned it.
