The appearance of furigana usually depends on the magazine it's printed in. NANA has furigana because it was serialized in Cookie, the monthly cousin of Ribbon, both shoujo comic mags aimed at young teens. Yes NANA is more of a mature, josei story but the Japanese really give the benefit of the doubt to their young kids so as long as there's no gratuitous sex and nudity it's okay.

Honey and Clover is serialized in Young YOU, a josei or young lady's mag. Readers are usually OLs so they're expected to know basic kanji, thus no furigana's needed.

But furigana rule is not concrete, for example, in seinen mag Comic Blade there are usually no furigana, since the target audience are male otakus. The only exception being ARIA, which the tankoubans are being sold to young girls as well. ARIA is one of the cross gender/genre series everyone seemed to love, so furigana is added. I must say, ARIA looks incredibly out of place in Comic BLADE.

What? No love for Akira-sama's new CD? She can sing you know... I think...

I'm actually more interested in the second Moe Drill game... Have to go hunt it down now...

cardslash02 · 2007-07-07, 12:50

So....is there really going to be a Shiraishi figure? And if so, when will it be released?

Risaa · 2007-07-07, 13:48

More importantly, if there *is* a Minoru figure released, will he be wearing twin tails?

Like my avatar would be perfect! And a twin drill for the Akira-sama figure!

Poll like this is just for fun... everyone know that soon every single character will have their own figurines.

nanafan · 2007-07-07, 16:58

mmm maybe konata will be in the school swimsuit or a yukata... kagami and tsukasa can wear their temple outfits...

Vexx · 2007-07-08, 02:22

I'd buy temple miko T&K ........ actually, I'd prefer Konata in her jammies parked in front of her computer slaying monsters surrounded by snacks and a cola.

Simon · 2007-07-12, 05:47

For anyone who isn't broke yet - character CDs, four of 'em:

Amazon: Konata - Kagami - Tsukasa - Miyuki

CDJapan: Konata - Kagami - Tsukasa - Miyuki

I've just got back from a week in Tokyo. Unsurprisingly, LS is everywhere - not least in the ero-dōjinshi racks (no, I didn't buy any in case you're wondering). Some of the best items aren't for sale though - I kept seeing incredibly cute promo posters in shops that I would have bought in an instant, not to mention the cardboard cutouts of the characters in chibi form.

Besides from picking up the manga at the Omiya branch of Gamers (where Konata shops), I bought the September issue of Comp Ace for the bundled LS fanbook. It's pretty neat, 100 pages (18 in colour), with everything from character profiles to random manga drawn by different artists (e.g. Tsukasa 4koma in nyoro~n style, and one about the girls commuting home called Someday in the Train).

I also couldn't resist grabbing Natsu no Teiban ("Summer Routine"), a wee Comiket-themed 4koma dōjinshi by Nekoma Kotomitsu:

(front / back)

The text on the back reads "The Melancholy of Hīragi Kagami"

truehappiness · 2007-08-02, 21:30

Wow, that remix cover really is awesome!

I love when they choose a somewhat monochromatic color scheme for anime art..

Minoru never fails to entertain me...the ending for episode 17 was epic...

Shiroi Hane · 2007-08-04, 13:16

The second DVD has some clips of them making one of the Shiraishi EDs.

Boy, that's an Enka CD cover alright. They really got this thing down cold, the dress, the look, and everything. I can't wait to get this CD and listen to the full song.

Risaa · 2007-08-11, 02:53

Hmm, I'm really not fond of them at all... The quality of the hair and outfits suck, very noticeably. >< I do hope there will be high-quality L*S dolls made sometime -- that'd be neat.

Vexx · 2007-08-11, 03:50

They're... actually kind of spooky. The faces are pretty good... but yeah the hair though colored reasonably well is much too thin and wispy.

And if they were doing this properly, each doll would have its own wardrobe of outfits (like in the series

).
