OMG!
Not only can I NOT go to any store without these cheesy punks faces emblazoned on everything from panties to pencils, now my sacred manga world has become invaded....I remembered apologozing profusely a few years back for my country spreading this crud around the world.....and now I see people actually like it enough to manga-ize it. cries
I am so sad...they are not going to ....say cheesy things like "bop to the top" in this manga right?

What's the big deal? From what I know of the plot, it seems pretty par for the course for a shoujo manga. The art on the cover seems pretty typical too. If there had never been a High School Musical, this would just be another generic shoujo that some people would like and some people would dislike.
You all need to stop overreacting, it's the nature of the beast to milk a franchise for all its worth, especially one as successful as HSM. Don't forget too, that just as people in the US seem to be obsessed with all things Japan, Japanese people are obsessed with all things American.
That's exactly what I mean! 😃
And why is the whole 'music' part of it looked down upon when there are many shoujos out there that have dancing and singing as a plot device. 🤨Anyway, all this thread is doing is bashing a manga half of the posters here haven't even read, and if they have it was just a teaser.
I couldn't agree more.
What's funnier to me, is how upset or angry people are over this. Everybody just needs to relax. Not every manga series will be catered to your taste and believe it or not, people will like this.
Everyone is so melodramatic. "Woe is me...! A High School Musical manga!"
🤨
EDIT: omg, I just totally remembered South Parks' parody 🤣

It's not that I hate the movie or anything...but I mean...I see the dreaded "HSM" letters EVERYWHERE! I am not going to bash the manga.....I haven't read it. I am just shocked at how far this franchise has spread...even into manga. Actually preteens love this movie..and I (think) people enjoy the songs and dance...but that may be awkward to portray in manga format. The whole charm and premise of this series of movies is the 'ol song and dance. I imagine people wearing their HSM underwear, HSM outfit, using their HSM backpack to carry their HSM pencils, HSM hair brushes, and HSM manga....okay that is an exaggeration...but plausible.......
okay...I see Twilight manga in the future now...

Infact if we remove the HSM title its one of those normal umm shoujo mangas .... I really wont be suprised if someone scans this it will be real easy to tl as dubby said its made for 13+ so no kanjis without furigana and all lol
As for the manga having songs i could not bare to ask the raw provider... (i was busy face palming that she actually bought this)
Oh btw for Twilight having a manga it already does lol

Dude...someone has already begun to scan
the dumb thing -.- Hasn't HSM brought enough
dumbness into the world through video, being
shown all over tv, and having some schools reenact
the freaking thing? I mean seriously. I will never
bring myself to read it, watch it, buy anything that
has to do with it, or anything of the sort. It's LAME.
Besides it doesn't make school any better.
