I confess that I did not know what these were, but as always, Google answered it in seconds.
I may try one some day. But at the moment my backlog comic reading is almost as bad as my SF reading backlog. Why? Recently my local comic shop closed and as a result everything in his store was 50% off. As a result I bought a bunch of 500+ pages of phonebook sized Marvel Essentials and DC showcase books. So basically I got another 5000 pages of comics to read! Getting even getting another mere 300 pages of Manga is NOT something I should be considering at the moment.
FYI: I read the Showcase "Superman's Family" last week. Normally I would not have bought this one, but there was a SF catch. 99% of this volume are reprints of "Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen" from the mid 50's. All but a few of the stories were written by none other that Otto Binder, (half of the "Eando" Binder team. Earl and Otto Binder. Get it?). So I was looking forward to reading a lot of SF style stories. It was not as much as I liked, but there were quite a few with distinctive SF angles.
Shonen, Shojo what?
