More info regarding Vol.4 Special Limited Edition. 30 Min worth of OVA with it's own exclusive OP and ED. Looks like they'll animate chapter 10 from the looks of what written on the left. All at the price of nearly 4000 yen. ....yup, sound's reasonable for me to buy at at least 2 copies. I hope Amazon JP don't crap the hell out of me again at not getting the LE on time like they did for Vol.3, I had to spend 3600 yen to ship the book from Japan to England and finally to where I'm residing. |

The story has a lot more drama than I thought it would, but I've enjoyed the past few SaHa released chapters more than the first few. Even with the solid drama elements, it has a lot of really sharp comedy as well. It's a fun read so far! Spoiler for KnJ 14:

I am buying the 1/6 Rin when it gets to Entertainment Earth (my favrit figure sight) I would get the whole tradeing figure line if it wasnt so danmed expensive. I have seen those figures you have for more than 200$ Canadain. A tad more than I can put out.
(I love anime/manga based figures, the girls as much as the boys!) @MakubeX2 I love your lil collection *smiles* |

Your dedication is admirable, MakubeX2 ^_^
Actually you just convinced me to buy the manga from amazon.jp, even though I don't understand a single word Japanese >.< I wish I could just a donate the author this money instead, but since that she doesn't speak English I can't even ask her... I feel bad buying the manga because it's meant to be read and all I can do is to put it on a bookshelf (and I don't have any visitors/friends in RL either) So far I've only one figure. Quote:
If there's even one chance out of hundred that Kuro didn't mean it, I would leave it out ^_- ( indeed the text could be just Aoki's interpretation ) The same with "let's have sex" vs. "let's do "it" together" by Rin, btw. her pose in this picture reminds me of Rizel ^^ Less vulgar = win (in my book) Btw. I just ordered Nymphet yet from another shop 2x ( ordered it from amazon.com 2x before as CandyVanMan suggested ^^; ) Isn't it strange that neither Amazon nor Archonia removed it yet?

Great post..... I feel sorry for the guy banned from reading manga... I guess Marvel comics are right out as well (with all their gravity defying ladies).
If you read further, you find that Rin's behavior is more complex (she's got a serious grudge and nasty tools to use on people she thinks are hurting her friends) ... but her attitude towards the new teacher Aoki gets very complicated -- you didn't say if you'd read volume 1 and 2 before reading some of 3. The book is not necessarily for everyone but more because the characters may or may not be appealing to the reader. But I think you're another person that has *read* the material and asked what the overcharged lynching was all about. "16+"? sure, yeah, whatever.... "not allowed"? sad.. very sad.

Ah, sorry. I missed the first couple chapters in volume one, but I've read the rest of it and all of volume two.
Actually, the parents found nothing wrong with Marvel comics. I think it has more to do with the parents' familiarity with the material than anything else - his dad read old American comics, so the son is allowed to as well. But when it comes to manga, the same exact fanservicey goodies are suddenly inappropriate. *shrugs* I don't get it, myself. (Eep, reminds me of the time, around five years ago, dad came in the room while there was a groping scene with screaming anime girls... I think he went through a, "my daughter is growing up, noo!" stage right then. ) Though I don't care to read anymore of the Kodomo no Jikan manga, I do want to know what happens... |

Also remember this is a manga, there's been flying peoples, magicians and such in mangas, so why not that too?

That image is another example of "there's more than one way to translate" depending on the elegance or crassness you think the character is projecting. In that case, Rin is using the same tricks she used to make the last teacher have a nervous breakdown. Shocking behavior and pranks to just dominate and control the situation. The guy is a saint trying to work with her, most teachers would have her out of the class just to save their own sanity and career....
sidenote: "ecchi" is almost meaningless anymore (like "fanservice") ... it doesn't mean what too many users of it think it means and so the meaning shifts and is diluted. Word devolution.

What I meant is that would I don't think given this very situation she could mean anything but sex which leads me to thinking even more that's what she was always talking about to begin with (and which is why the teacher freak out at it)

Correct, she's always pranking the teacher with come-ons and sexual advances. The questions and mystery at this point is does she really mean what she says or is she just skewering Aoki for the purposes of either teasing him mercilessly or to drive him to a breakdown as she did the previous teacher? She obviously means sex, the only question in the translation is how should one translate that given her purpose and intentions and how might someone actually say those things in English.
If I walk up to a woman, its possible I could tell her 1) She's got great boobs. 2) The way she moves makes my brain seize up. 3) I'd like to lay her down and find out what kind of noises she makes. In one level of english, that might all be communicated with "That dress makes you look very nice." So... that's a kind of the art of translation. As has been stated previously, in that first image Rin's kanji quite literally is rather ambiguous -- idiomatically though, its an ultimate come-hither that can be translated several ways depending on the coarseness of speech that the translator interprets the situation as calling for. Examples of this sort of thing could include "I want you to have sex with me." (or other variations I won't list) vs "Lets make love." or "I want you to do "it" with me." The last two.... the former doesn't fit well with the character at this point but the latter just seems to be less clinical and more mysterious (and young girl giggly). Its a judgement call, obviously.

I'm talking in general.
Quote:
The only girl that seems quite normal is Usa so far (if you forget the last part of chapter 19 that is^^) Of course it is obvious Kuro way of talking is not the same as Rin, but she probably at least knows a bit about some stuffs since she's been with Rin for so long. Either way I don't see why you care so much about that and personally I find Kuro overrated, Rin is superior to her in probably almost every aspect^^ (and no I don't like the yuri behaviour, yuri is overated! ) Oh and please, stop the 'flamming this flamming that', I never flammed you in my post to begin with and you're well known to be always the first one to flam peoples and make topic get locked.

Unless it's something obvious like "we know that the Earch is not flat" or "we can't prove that God exists" by saying "we" you imply some kind of support that doesn't exist. Don't tell me you didn't realize that your statement is controversial.
What's your problem anyway? I just explained why I liked Makube's translation. Don't like it? Read SaHa's version or the raws if you can. Quote:
You didn't flame, eh? You quote me and say "That's what we call text censorship". Thus you imply that I support censorship of the artists' work.
