Well, for the DS game, best bet is to have a dictionary-translator next to you (helps with your other anime interests as well. Make sure that it does kanji.)

I'm waiting for volume 4 as well, the Mandarin version that is.

Yeah, in-game I just try to avoid those ones completely. The karaoke minigame is mind-shatteringly adorable.

I picked up the first 4 volumes of this the other day was quite surprised... the manga is quite funny and even snappier with the quick-witted jokes (whereas the anime was more often "sweet" than punchy). Good stuff in here.

SHAFT is SHAFT - they usually adapt stories, rather than tell them faithfully. Volume 5 got released in Japan early this year, IIRC, so hopefully we'll get more of the rest of them... and there are a few 'raunchy' bits in there too. Well, as raunchy as it'll ever get.

yeah, I'm not dinging the anime (loved all the seasons)... but I feel like I got a bonus moment with the manga and glad to hear the manga is still rolling...

Basically, both studios (Shaft and Staff) have had "win" or "lose" moments with different series. For example, I like Tsukuyomi Moon Phase the anime quite a bit. Then I read the manga.... very different feel, but also very good. End result - I like both the anime and the manga but for different reasons.

Rather than list them... lets just say I don't think either studio being assigned to a project is automatic "win" or "lose" assessment.

Finished all 4 existing volumes.... which the 3 anime seasons seem to have covered timeline-wise in abbreviated form. I assume there will be a 5th volume and perhaps more which will also hopefully be animated.

Fifth volume came out this year, as noted. Whether it'll be animated depends on others. It's ongoing.

Hmmm, guess I need to check with the english publisher and see if they've got volume 5 on their to-do list.

In season 4 anime thread, a lot people were discussing about what would happen after Hiro and Sae graduated, so I was wondering if they've graduated yet in the latest manga chapter. Any sign manga ending soon?
