Marvel has been doing stuff like this for the past ten or so years, and every time it goes over about as well as R. Kelly in a Girl Scout convention. The original X-Men explained away having only one female student as simply being a consequence of there not being many mutants. Rob I’m not sure where all the shock is coming from.

I remember hearing about Spider-Man Loves Mary-Jane, but I hadn't heard about it as being manga-style. I have to admit the artwork style is very attractive and intriguing (to me, at least, hopefully that doesn't get you all screaming)... what I see of the covers on the Wikipedia article, anyway.

As a PLOT, they'd need to explain how they admitted one female student (rather than just going co-ed in general). Someone in the comments wonders if it'll be a cross-dress. If they don't explain it somehow, then it'll be an even more telegraphed "we're just mimicking for the sake of it" contrivance (odd, how explaining it would be telegraphing it less). Sadly, I can see the different X-Men as different kinds of angst held together by at least SOMEONE Tohru-like. But I'm not sure if an existing X-Men character could be the Tohru of the group.

This makes no sense whatsoever other than Marvel trying to tap the popularity of the manga market at the moment. No no no no no no no. Oh dear heavens, WHY?
