Oh yeah, I forgot to add in my last post that I gave one last attempt to try to read 07 Ghosts, but gave up again due to the inability to ever tell what is actually going on in an action scene. Half of the time, I can't tell whether people are fighting or just jumping around. This is particularly disappointing because Frau and the other bishops are really interesting characters, but I am not going to strain my eyes trying to interpret whether someone hit someone, used magic or just extended their hand every single time. I'm sorry, Frau. :( Our affair is just not meant to be.

In contrast, PH has sometimes confusing fights, but I can mostly sort out what's going on or when people explain a few pages later, I can follow along without having to flip back and forth like a crazy person. Dear shoujo/jousei manga, if you really want to do a fight, save the plot-talkings for before or after, especially when your fights involve battles with word magic.

Maybe an AMV will help with summarizing the things you read:

...oh my god, I am so glad I'm not the only one that had that problem with the fight scenes.

Do you agree that at least part of the problem lies in that the lines for magic attacks, basically any 'energy'/force/movement whatsoever, and HAIR AND CLOTHING are all exactly the same width?

YES and the fact that she just has way too much going on at once. IT DRIVES ME CRAZY.
