The manga is better.  The anime is just like a little teaser for the manga, which makes you want more.  They're fairly similar until the point where the anime stops.  I really wish they would do another season of the anime since there's so much they didn't get to do.  Like

the evil Seimei stuff where you find out he was behind everything to screw up Ritsuka's life
.  The only problems I find with the manga is it only comes out once a month and last time I check no group was scanlating the current chapters as it's been licensed (even though the current stuff won't be out until next year).  I haven't read it since the spring but now you're making me want to go catch up again, lol.

They're both good, although the manga is still ongoing (new chapter comes out once a month).  I should mention that later volumes only have text translations for them, nobody is scanlating the new chapters as far as I can tell.

The main problem is that the anime only covers up to around the end of volume 4 or the beginning of 5, some things were mixed in from 5 I think.  There should be around 7 or 8 volumes of material currently though.

I've been meaning to reread this series lately actually.  :keke:

I absolutely adore Loveless, I watched the anime first too and I thought it was gorgeous. An VERY like manga, I can't remember anything that wasn't in it. But I last watched the anime quite a while ago '^_^.
I've only read up to volume 5, it's all I could find, how many volumes are out? And a few of the last chapters of volume 5 I couldn't find either. I'll look them up with those links though. Cheers!

I've read Yun Kouga's Earthian too, which was also very beautful, but the art doesn't really measure up to Loveless, but then again, she done Earthian years and years ago, right? I think she's just brought out volume 4 and it's a bit more like Loveless. I've not read that one yet. I'm a huge fan of Yun Kouga. *melts* Her digital art is so wonderful. She draws so beauitfully.

Oh, any Sailor Yue, you made a boo-boo in the spelling of Loveless in the topic name.

hmmm I like both....the anime is nice but I don't really like the ending...I want more than that..^^

The story is very Kouga Yun, the plot is always not clear FOR me (only...maybe) but overall is still good. Loveless has so many mysteries in it and almost none of them is solved in this recent volumes . Well, obviously the biggest myteries will always be kept to the end or will never revealed at all (let the reader think about it). The cutest part of the story is that in that world people who are not yet an adult (in this term, haven't lost the virginity)  still has the animal ear and tails (mostly cat's or dog's) and mostly on children and couple of teenagers.And there's this battle of words as spell, and this is much more understandable in the anime, coz when I read the manga first I don't quite understand how's it  work.

I love Ritsuka ! he's so cute~~ :inlove: and I love the ending song, "Michiyuki" ,and that's still my favorite in my playlist until now. The composer is Yuki Kajiura, and I just love all of her work :)

now that you mention, yeah , Ritsuka won't meet SOubi if he doesn't gone. But the question why would Seimei want Soubi to go to Ritsuka after he dies still unanswered right?. And I though what Nisei did to Ritsuka's mom is what Seimei ordered..or am I wrong...:confused:

Just found out from this journal (http://community.livejournal.com/raburesu/) that Loveless volume 7 will be released on 25 Nov'06, also with the limited edition as well , and it's available for pre-order from amazon.co.jp and also from nippon-export as well

The newest chapter from zerosum Nov '06 is releases from this community : http://community.livejournal.com/lovelesszerosum/, there's scanlation and translation, of course you have to be a member to access it (lock-on topic)

so...Soubi since the beginning is 'blank fighter' , means he has no name as a fighter (meaning he doesn't a person that share the same name?), and back then he is assigned to be Seimei, Beloved 's fighter by Ritsu-sensei, since there is problem with Seimei's fighter back then (I'm not really understand this part). and what's surprising is that Soubi's not actually hate Ritsu, because he wanted to be Ritsu's fighter at that time (but of course, rejected -_-), after all this time I thought that Soubi actually despite him, but is the other way around (??). And I think next chapter will be focused on Seimei and Soubi in the past. This is getting more and more interesting :keke:

i think ther eason that soubi liked ritsu so much at first has to do with his machosism. sorta like stockholm's syndrom, where your attached to your abuser or something. probably after time spent with seimei, as sadistic s he is, he hated ritsu after.

beiseds...i think the chpter basically canons the fact that ritsu WAS the one who took soubi's ears...tho i dont think it was rape like i first thought...

somehow this chpter decreases my dislike of ritsu-sensei...i still dont like him, but i dont HATE him :shifty:

To where?  It's usually $15 for one book to the U.S., which is usually 2 to 3 times the price of the item you want to buy. XD  This page (http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/help/customer/display.html/503-5912731-1059935?ie=UTF8&nodeId=1039606) explains shipping, you just need to convert Yen to your currency.

I suggest Yesasia (http://www.yesasia.com) or Akadot (http://www.akadotretail.com) for imports (I use them both quite a bit), it's less painful that way.

Personally, I have only watched the first episode of Loveless, so I might not be qualified to speak in the matter, but I can't understand why so many think of Soubi as "hot" and "awesome". Sure, he's a bishie, and maybe he develops into a much nicer person as the series progresses - I wouldn't know - but judging from the first episode, I would say he is extremely creepy.

Ritsuka is, what, twelve? Moreover, as if that wasn't enough, at their first meeting, Soubi kisses him despite having promised not to do anything, and doesn't stop even though the kid tells him to. And, at least to me, all this is presented in a way that wants us to see Soubi as a cool seme, which is why I gave up this anime.

Did I give in too early, perhaps? Should I give it a second try? What do you people think?

For me Ritsuka/Soubi is a lot like Seishirou/Subaru- really really creepy but still worth reading. They're both very messed up people and their relationship with each other is about the best thing in their lives. I would say give it another try.

giver it another try. its a very good series. moreover even tho its creepy, i think the way soubi tells ritsuka "sukidayo" [which is the freindly way to say i love you] andk sses him all the time is more of a binding spell because their "true names" are diferent. he starts out somewhat distnt from ritsuka. a bit coolish...but as the series progresses he warms up ^^

Soubi is far more healthy for Ritsuka than his own mother.  He even eggs Ritsuka's teacher Hitomi into confronting her about the abuse.  Creepy on some levels, yes.  But far less creepy than how Seimei views Ritsuka (I'm not even going to go there >_<).
