Upon which
Aug. 28th, 2003 01:04 amWent to Tania no heya after work, beat her about the head with sjcon stories and GetBackers and drank her Finlandia until I began to inchoately sentimentalise over Ginji's pure-hearted something-or-other. X_X Thank goodness for enabler friends, wot. I think she'll follow me into this fandom purely out of amusement at my downfall.
...Keeping in mind that GetBackers is harder to read than Godchild, and Nana is harder to read than either - ironically - would anyone like chapter translations? Because a fangirl belongs to herself, but her linguistic-fu belongs to the fen. Or something. And I appear to have reached the point where I can actually garner some enjoyment from the reading of Japanese manga, as opposed to it being an unholy chore, so I can't suck as badly as I used to.
Okay, bed!
EDIT -- should probably specify that I now own the following in Japanese:
Trigun Maximum #1-8
Saiyuki Reload #1-2
GetBackers #10, 20-22
Nana #6-8
God Child #3
S to M no Sekai #1 (YES I'LL FINALLY GET TO READ THIS GODDAMMIT)
...And a Motoni Modoru yomikiri collection, and a Dunk^3 dj anthology I found at Book-Off for 1$ and bought out of bemusement at, well, its existence. Out of these, S to M and Reload have already been translated AFAIK, and I'm basically committed to doing Nana by virtue of the fact that I was weak and bought those volumes, because my sister has to be able to read them somehow.
