Ima Koi o shite imasu makes more sense On Daiya...SpoilerI think that I've read the mangaka was pretty burned out by the time he got to vol 47. So probably there were things he didn't go into. I think it's a shame, though. I think a lot of fans wanted to see a dynamic in which Miyuki, Zono and Mochi had more bonding time tbh. I certainly think that by act 2 the friendship between Miyuki and Mochi especially is clear, but also Zono as well to some degree. And Shirasu, who seems to me like defacto vice vice Captain at times. But I like character bonding moments, so.On Daiya fandom...SpoilerThe Daiya fandom is frustrating, honestly. Sadly Eijun fans are the bulk of the problem. Fanfiction is kind of fine in my view, everyone has the freedom to express how they want to express it. The problem I have is when people try and force their reinvention of the manga on the fandom. There's a lot of toxicity, I've seen a lot of hate aimed at poor Furuya, at Miyuki (that latter I've experienced directly)...I even saw an expletive filled rant aimed at Oota once, which is mad because he's a very unassuming teacher and I can't imagine how anyone could hate him enough to do something like that. Just a note to add that Yona 38 is apparently due out in May.
I got the latest volumes of Daiya manga to be released (act 2 29 and 30) and a handful of Horimiya volumes.Vol 30 has Mei on the front and is the start of the current game so pretty close to up to date. I won't buy any more volumes until I know what happens in this game now. Spoiler3 innings to go I think...they're either at the bottom of the sixth or top of the seventh.
Oh boy. *facepalm* That scene.And the biggest thing that got me is thatSpoilerthere is essentially that worse scene where Koushuu refuses to catch for Eijun in front of everyone - which is refusing a senpai, which is rude - but you won't see any of the same people criticising that.They live in their own world which is a selective reading of the manga. And honestly, I wouldn't mind that if they were not actively hostile and downright spiteful to fans of other characters. Furuya fans tend to get it worst. And bad translations of scenes don't help. There was a literal uprising in the fandom when CR subtitled one of Furuya's lines as 'you can still compete with me' even though the line is categorically and unquestionably 'we can still compete with each other'. I genuinely can't stand the Eijun portion of the fandom because so many of them subscribe to this nonsense that everyone is always picking on Eijun, which is fundamentally ridiculous, and ignores all the times Eijun is griping about other players/flat out rude/genuinely thoughtless. There was a very recent example of this in a scene you won't have read, so I won't go into details, but it was very frustrating...and of cours all the Eijun fans were like, aww, poor Eijun...when he was the cause of the problem.So I am still reading the Horimiya manga. I love it so much more than the anime, even though some of the scenes in the anime are great. There's so much missing and some of it is truly awesome. I still don't want him to Spoilercut his hair though. That will take further time to adjust to xD..I've also read properly to the end of Yona 34. I have the broad strokes of what happens in 35, I remembered it when I got to the end of 34. But now I've read the full flashback properly.
I'm re-reading Sailor Moon right now or actually, I'm past the point where I stopped reading it earlier. I adore the art, it's so inspiring. I should read book 3 of A Sign Of Affection, but it's SUCH a fuzzy feeling read, I don't want to read it too fast ;A; Annnd on TBHK - 4 days left until next chapter. can. not. wait!!!
And my predictions for this Daiya chapter were right. So now I have an *idea* how things might continue. We'll see.
I had an email this morning from my Mum's friend and former English student in Japan, who helped me out a lot when I was over there doing fieldwork. He apparently found a volume of manga relating to my study and is sending it to me. So I guess I'll be reading that at some point
I also had a chance to see the first volume of smaller size Sailor Moon Eternal edition (Now called the Naoko Takeuchi collection) The NT editions are about the same size as the original Kodansha realizes but at least twice as thick. It looked like the same about of chapters are in included in the NT editions as the Eternal version. Most disappointing to me was the fact that the color pages that were restored for Eternal are gone again. Why make such a big deal out of restoring them in one release if the publisher is just going to take them away in the next? Ponyfan
I still need to read Yona 35. 36 will be released in early June in the US. Hopefully my life will settle down soon and I'll have time to read.Ponyfan
