Those are all shounen titles if I'm not mistaken.  I've always seen AMG as a seinen
title.  Plus, the anime was aired in the middle of the night, which isn't when shounen
titles are aired.

Those were good stories.  But I think that Fujishima-sensei is just bored to death
with the series for the most part (just my opinion mind you).

Again, for those interested in shounen titles, I agree.  AMG isn't going to interest
them.  But among the seinen crowd, the manga is mostly dull.  You have no character
growth and no relationship advancement.  Once in a while, we get a bone tossed to

us like the recent Skuld/Sentaro-kun story, which for starved fans, was like an oasis
even though it wasn't much.

Well, I keep reading the new chapters month after month, but that's mostly in the
hope that something good will happen.  ^_^;;;
