I always wondered this; what is it about Japanese-mangaka takes on US comic characters that readers find more appealing, compared to the content written by domestic US comic writers?

Basically romance is not the focus here; the plot and mystery is. This is similar to Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic where romance is sidelined in favour of action, comedy, and character banter.

That's good to hear; then its chances for another season have increased a bit.

Pacing-wise the anime took its time unlike some others, only covering the 1st 2 LNs. I recall some people out there (the ANN people) said they didn't like it, because they found the plot too slow and unserious, too much character banter and not enough action.

Pacing-wise, where is the manga relative to the anime?

There is. To give an idea of the manga Vs anime pacing, The manga is only still wrapping up what S1 covered; the 1st 4 LNs. S2 adapted Vols 5, 8-9.

Iirc this elf lady was not in the original WN. All they had was beating the big bad Vampire High Lord, but that was it. She must have been part of the rewrites for the LN/manga version.

Not to mention the manga is still finishing up the 1st story arc that S1 of the anime covered. Meanwhile S2 of the anime is way ahead with the Van arc...

And thus Octopus Girl's chapter count has now exceeded that of the late Spiderman Fake Red. With the promise of more plot developments to come, I'd say this series is safe from the axe for now.

Octopus Girl will be getting an official English release this coming October. https://www.marvel.com/articles/culture-lifestyle/spider-man-octo-girl-x-men-vol-1-manga-titles-viz-media Hopefully this, and the story pacing so far, means that Octo Girl will have a long life ahead of it (unlike...

The artstyle looks quite similar to the art of the ero-mangaka Survival Knife. https://img.dlsite.jp/modpub/images2/work/books/BJ266000/BJ265372_img_smp3.jpg Perhaps they are using a different penname for this title?

Still no sign of the mangaka resuming Fake Red; since he is currently working on a manga adaptation of The Mandalorian TV series. https://www.viz.com/read/manga/star-wars-the-mandalorian-the-manga-volume-1/product/7567 However, Marvel Comics will be serialising the runner-up entry to Spiderman...

I'm guessing there still isn't enough material for another anime season yet?

What happened with that older series of his?

So far the manga has covered up to the end of LN Vol 4. Currently there are 11 LNs, and the story is still ongoing in its original WN form.

Correct, the manga is covering anime content at this stage. Hopefully it ends up covering later story content, especially if the anime doesn't get a S2 to continue things.

Publishers release it this way, from looking at the raws.

Meanwhile S2 of the anime has already started and it's going to take a long time for future manga chapters to catch up with it's pacing... ...although, a plus factor is the manga adapting some of the minute story details from the LN instead of skimming over them like the anime. Or the manga...

Adachitoka is already a 2-women team from the beginning, so the collaboration part is already guaranteed. The problem was when one of them got sick from 2017-2018, hence the later slowdown in releases (likely to accommodate said ill member).
