Cirque du Freak strikes me as a bit of an iffy manga to call OEL, as it isn't quite in the same position as series like Princess Ai or Dramacon which are English, or Maximum Ride or Warcraft where they're written/plotted by someone english and then drawn by the japanese/korean/etc artist for the purpose of being marketed to ... well... the English market. You mention not being sure why Japanese effects were "added", but in Cirque's case they weren't really. It was made for the Japanese market, with japanese language and effects already in place, and published in Shōnen Sunday - its just that it was based on English source material and was then later picked up to be (re?)translated (back) to English for publication via Yen ^^; As a side note, I know his names on it and all, but I'm not actually sure how much imput Shan-the-author had in Shan-the-manga. Would be quite interesting to know how it all came about and got worked out and worked on really. Hrm.
