Manga analysis question

As a result of minor good news that I am not discussing publicly yet except that everyone on my friendslist knows, I'm going to ask - what would you like to see me tackle next in my manga analyses?

I know that most people tend to want me to dsicuss a specific series, but that puts the burden of figureing out what the heck to say on me and I REFUSE THAT BURDEN, GOOMBAS! So ... if you have a specific series you'd like me to talk about, you'll have to come up with a specific question, probably on the order of "How does the mangaka of [blah] achieve [blah]?" or "Why did the mangaka of [blah] do [blah] instead of [blah]?" Only with, you know, actual words with relevant meaning instead of the [blah]s, in case you were feeling smart-alecky today.

Of coruse, it's not like I have time to do any a bunch right now, but it'd be nice to have a list of topics generated to pick and choose from when I do manage to squeeze in a bit of time.

Have you covered the general panelling placement/progression distinction between shoujo and shounen manga? I was really noticing it this weekend while reading Shojo Beat (as I typically only read shounen titles). It might be an interesting thing to focus on.

I second this.
