Obata Takeshi's Blue Dragon

...has another preview. Looks like he's going back to the younger, more rounded, look of Hikaru no Go instead of his Death Note look. Which, I expect, means that it's aimed at a younger audience than DN was. (not that it's not obvious.)

He does seem to have one character deisgn, though. Hikaru's got tribal tats! :D

Aimed at a younger audience? I dunno about that. (http://pics.livejournal.com/gorogoro/pic/00012agg/s640x480) (NWS)

This is Japan. Where wee!Goku in Dragonball feels up the crotch of one of the female characters in bed and is surprised that she doesn't have a dick. So I'm not making any assumptions about that boobie-fondling. :D

And it is intended in a somewhat comedic sense, 'tis true. On the other hand, visually-speaking, it looks a lot more fanservice-y to me. Aiming for the boys that read Ichigo 100%, perhaps?
