Talk:X (manga)

Demographic
I have recently finished watching X, and while I admit that I am not at all well-versed in manga or anime, it does not seem to be aimed at young girls, especially when one compares it to more well-known shojo works such as Cardcaptor Sakura. If I had not read the Wikipedia article, my guess as to demographic would be either seinen or josei. May I ask from whence the "shojo" designation originates? Please forgive my lack of correct romaji; I have not yet figured out how to insert non-ASCII characters into text using my current operating system. -- Aseld  talk  16:21, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Mostly, this stems from the fact that Asuka is a shōjo manga magazine, which makes any manga published in it shōjo. However, it is aimed at an older audience than CCS - teenage instead of elementary school girls, I think. (There are other shōjo works similar to X, look to Kaori Yuki for example.) --KagamiNoMiko (talk) 22:43, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah, gotcha, thanks. -- Aseld  talk  00:04, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Video game Discussion
X: Unmei no Sentaku was developed by Taito and published by Bandai. Based on assets I datamined, it could be a reskin of Psychic Force 2 since I saw assets with it's character roster. NoxAether (talk) 15:51, 11 September 2022 (UTC)

Reason for suspension
I removed content in this edit that was unproperly cited, but it does seem like a glaring omission for an article at the GA level to not discuss the reason(s) why the series was suspended. The Japanese Wiki makes mention of an interview in Puff where Clamp discusses the social climate at the time as contributing to the decision; can this be verified? Morgan695 (talk) 04:27, 3 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Ah, I see now that the image caption under "Influences" mentions that "Multiple incidents such as the Great Hanshin earthquake caused the hiatus of X due to its similarities with the earthquakes from X" and cites the Puff article. I've indicated that under "Manga" as well. Morgan695 (talk) 04:49, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Without a solid verified translation, this explanation is well-intended but falls short of being properly cited. GimmeChoco44 (talk) 05:04, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I don't see any specific guidance for ComiPress at the WikiProject Anime reliable sources list, but they seem to pass the smell test to me; they collaborated with Takeo Udagawa on an official English translation of Manga Zombie, for example. In any case, it seems arbitrary for the ComiPress article to be used to source other material in this article, but not this; either it's reliable or it isn't.

Number of volumes
I was wondering if the total number of volumes of X should be changed from 18 to 18.5, given that Volume 18.5 is being released in Japan on November 4, 2023. ISD (talk) 14:17, 30 October 2023 (UTC)


 * 18.5 always existed but as Newtype mspecial Tintor2 (talk) 10:28, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
 * So does that mean we should change the details in the infobox so it shows there are 18.5 volumes then, or not? ISD (talk) 13:30, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I never thought about it but saying the manga has "18.5 volumes" would just confuse the readers. I would suggest writing 19 volumes but point out it's from another imprint from the original. Kinda like the first X ova that acts as a prologue. Tintor2 (talk) 18:13, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
 * OK, I'll make a note explaining the situation. ISD (talk) 19:06, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
