Reddit mentions of Kitchen Princess Omnibus 1

Doubtful. Marvel is too desperate to expand their market share in this area, and sure why not? What business wouldn't? And I even agree with them, 50% of the population is women so they are in essence missing out on a huge market that doesn't spend nearly as much money on their products as men do.

The problem however is that Marvel only really has one product - Superheroes and they seem to think that the way to market this to women is just by presenting them with a Superhero that has boobs and calling it a day, even if that Superhero is totally unlikable and unpalatable to the target demographic they are courting.

Let me put the problem another way to help people understand:

"How do you sell country music albums to hip hop fans?"

The answer is: You don't, you sell them hip hop albums.

The most popular literary genres for women are something like, Romance/Erotica, Mystery, Cooking and Health. You might say, "Well, shit. I get romance and mystery, but how do you make a comic about cooking?"

Easy, like this or this or this or this or this or this

I picked mostly 少女 (girl) manga to demonstrate a point - Japan actually has a pretty freaking healthy comic (manga) industry because they publish a much wider variety of genres. It's slightly grown over the last few years and it's made the transition from print to digital at a rate that should make western publishers ashamed. In fact, while groups like Marvel struggle to get their digital revenue up past 20% of their brick and mortar sales, by sometime next year digital sales will probably pass print sales in Japan.

Anyway, who knows? Maybe Akira Yoshida-san will venture into this territory. I kind of hope he does. I think Marvel should launch a new imprint or two and bring back the genres that the CCA killed in the 50's. It seems like a much more sane prospect to me than banking their entire effort at attracting a female audience on running the same few characters through a personality meat grinder until they find one that might have some sort of appeal.
