I, personally, really don't like Viz publishers. I think that their volume layouts and translations are horrible. I know there are constantly typos, but Viz's get a little ridiculous. The only sereis I own of theirs are MeruPuri and Ceres. I haven't collected Ceres since volume seven and MeruPuri is only 4 books. DelRey is the best.
Viz either needs to do much better or stop taking all the good series.

Me loves Ceres, but we(by we, I mean me and the rest of the OHS Anime Fangirl Army) never got farther than the 6th manga, since we couldn't find it/ found it but couldn't buy it. Though I agree that VIZ has got to stop taking all the good series....(at least Viz doesn't have Angel Sanctuary though. That does make me happy)

As far as translation typos and making manga-reading difficult, Viz takes the cake. Incredibly poor quality, and very frustrating. But I do commend them on creating widely available mangazines, like Shojo Beat and Shonen Jump. I adore Shojo Beat, though it could certainly improve a great deal.
I'm mad at DelRey for not becoming the superpower editor that it could be.
DelRey could totally beat out Tokyopop if it wanted to.

OMG, Godchild has the most beautiful art I've ever seen!
And I tried reading Angel Sanctuary, another American-released manga from the same author, and it was all just too crazy for me to follow.
And of course Absolute Boyfriend rocks! It's from our beloved Yuu Watase!
I am surprised, though, at how much I love Crimson Hero - I typically don't enjoy sports manga, but this is just fabulous. And so pretty to read! *sob of joy*

Angel Sanctuary = One of favorite manga of all time (Sara and Setsuna Mudo have been determined to be Scott's and my anime counterparts due to the facts that 1. We are bf and gf, 2. Some people say we look like them and 3. Before we were dating, people sometimes assumed we were brother and sister XD(Yes, I do know that probably sounds super wierd, but it's true lol))
Absolute Boyfriend = Also one of my favorite manga of all time (Yu Watase is one of my art idols!!!)
I haven't actually read Crimson Hero though...I always skipped straight to Absolute Boyfriend and Godchild ^^; Though I so wish I could imitate Kaori Yuki's drawing abilities (I can sometimes do passable imitations of Yu Watase's style, but only sometimes lol)
