Planning on being serialized in another magazine, opinions on character design?

I seem to have a lot of time on my hands, even with the university and writing Wagakou I still have time to read through large amounts of manga a day. I've mentioned this before, but I want to try and get serialized in another magazine while still working for my current one, preferably a Seinen one (matured themed manga). Though I'm not good with dark themes, so I've decided to go more comedic and lewd (which I think suits me more), along the lines of Eko to Issho, Doujin Work, Mangaka-san to Assistant-san to, or GA, so possibly a serialization in Dengeki Daioh is what I'm looking at. I've drawn up some early character designs, and I just want some opinions. Won't watermark.
Drew it in pencil and pen, scanned it, and just randomly colored for fun in SAI. I think my scanning is actually getting better; I can barely see the eraser and smudge marks.

I think it would be a lot of work, but then again you are Tsuna, you could do anything.
If you aimed to make it a lot more fun, and comedic, maybe twist it into a romantic comedy? Having the girl notice that he was madly in love with her the entire time or something, I dunno. I would be a good plot person. > _ >

Anyways, back on topic, those are nice designs.

Haha, "you are Tsuna, you could do anything", you make it sound so easy for me; I wish it were though. >W< I like the plot; it's actually similar to what I was going to go with... add in some fanservice, sexual jokes, and innuendos.

If you make something like that, I guess I might just have to take up learning japanese again.

If you ever need any help with it, I'm always on MSN for questions as usual.

Hahaha, I'm sorry, but I laughed reading this because whenever I'm comparing my work I always think of it like choosing a date. >W<

No one's scanned the manga that I'm currently writing, but you can buy the mangazine online and have it shipped to you such as here:
Monthly Shonen MAGAZINE

I think you definitely could do it! I really love the second girl's character design the best. I really like the hoodie/shirt and I love girls with short hair!
I know I'd probably have to get a copy of it even if I couldn't read it. : ) I'm sure lots of others would too!
