...and a whole lot nicer and hotter. Kind of like an in between of Inuyasha and Seshomaru. Its too bad he lacks a personality. So far, anyway.
No point in being all possessive now that Cain has showed up (though I'm waiting for cain to flip into crazy mode). Jooin was yours to claim and you missed that opportunity. Better not fuck it up when it comes around again.
Nanahara met another Nantahala. Hahaha.
*nanahara met another nanahara
Stupid autocorrect
type it "senpai", not "sempai". It's 先輩, which us せんぱい in hiragana. It's super simple, but a really annoyingly common mistranslation.
Anyway. Anyone know why a dorm wouldn't allow relatives to share rooms? Honestly, I've never heard of that even in Japanese culture. Maybe it's to encourage socializing? Anyone know?
aww please
wait i gave a short reply as to why its /m/ but mangago cut my comment? Sjshjaaj
Anyway, ん assimilates to the consonantal sounds that follow. Mayhaps the translator prefers /m/ so readers will know how to pronounce it properly. nbd
I took college Japanese and ny professor, who is native Japanese said very clearly that ん in "n". I also never (and I mean NEVER) saw it translated otherwise. Not in the textbooks or her hand written tests. She also deducted points for mispronunciation. Considering I had the highest grade in the class and still read Japanese relatively well (speaking is a different matter now that I'm out of practice), I'm 100% positive on this. Using the "m" pronunciation is a mistake made commonly in the 90s and seems to still need correcting...
Also, that totally was not meant to sound bitchy. I'm in a rush. Sorry if it came off that way!
Uh, no, no it's not. Romanized, hiragana, katakana or orally, it is only ever supposed to be "senpai", with an "n". I literally had an Otaku in my class ask about this because she was shocked and the my Japanese professor said that it has been heavily mistranslated due to English speakers not hearing them right. There is no word in Japanese that is "sempai". Literally if you were to translate that, it would mean something along the lines of "back m ぱい" because "se" means "back" most often, "m" is not a sound/letter on its own and "pai" is a suffix that needs to be attached to a corresponding term in order for it to be translated at all, otherwise it is read as is. If you are pronouncing it "sempai", you're not hearing what the speaker is enunciating and if you're writing it as "sempai", you're continuing a mistranslation that is decades old and needs to be corrected.
I know, didn't it kinda gave a suggestion that incest is popular in, this, particular dorm..?
A little bit. I took Japanese in college and my professor was a Japanese native, but she never mentioned something like this when discussing cultural differences. Kind of an odd thing
sometimes I look at a tragedy tag and its not really a tragic ending, just that something tragic happened within the story to one of the people. This one has a tragic end.
Great, typical yakuza plot. A lot of cheesy lines and for whatever reason, the mangaka decided to draw the heads enormously large from chapter 11 to 13. It was good though. Surprisingly, I didn't cry, but predictability can do that.
Thank you
You're very welcome.
a side story of how mom and dad met and got together!!! And I never care about that. The mom is definitely my fave character.
I feel like I'm reading the gay version of Yotsuba. I love this manwha so much. Makes me so happy.
I want shit to go down between He Tian and Mo already, though.
I take it no one saw that documentary on host clubs in Japan. That shit is seedy as hell. The customers are creepy and the hosts are sleezy. Should everyone be treated human? Of course, but either the customers are delusional/crazy or they know what they're getting into and the hosts don't survive if they aren't money-hungry and manipulative.
I still feel bad for him, because everyone should get paid for the job they do. I probably would want to give up too.
I saw a couple of docus too and it screams of materialism, objectification, and loneliness. Lots of manga has had the host industry seen in rose-tinted lenses, maybe because it’s probably a wish fulfilment of sorts. After all, fiction (or at least some of them) serves as a temporary replacement to what is absent or missing in our reality.
Thank you for coming to my ted talk jkjkjkjk
Every time I see a host-club related manga, I always think of the documentary I saw. Although I can enjoy the story despite that, they're so far off from what a host club actually is that it's shocking. Definitely romanticized for the reader. But, in the same sense that managa seems to think Americans go around kissing each other, we think hosts are genuinely nice. You won't make it if you're nice. You have to lie, manipulate and (sometimes) cheat. And they do it in groups. It's quite awful. Now, not all hosts are bad people, but I'm betting if they stay long enough they turn so jaded they lose whatever morality they had when they started. Such a shame.
True. The typical host club business model is faulty, exploitative tbh (or at least what was inferred in the interviews) which forces the hosts to skew their sense of morality to climb the ladder. But thinking about it further, the host club business is both gross and genius at the same time. Despite being (generally) questionable, people still willingly pay (and millions of yen at that) and patronise them in the end.
Btw off topic, Rui reminds me of Taizo here: https://youtu.be/tV8OhAc3Zyc
But ofc Rui is more good looking though lololol
Omg. Hahaha. I completely agree on both counts! So funny.
Wouldn't it be interesting if someone took that and made it wholesome? I know a lot of people that would pay for that kind of service in the states.
Same! but i think it would be like a more relaxed, less weeb nightlife version of a butler cafe (and with alcohol!)
Would be pretty cool, I have to say. Would probably be an easy business to keep open too. Although bitches be crazy so there would more than likely be a lot of drama. Lol
can someone tell me what "sus" stands for? I've only ever heard law enforcement use that term in lieu of "suspect". I don't like slang as it is, but I can normally figure out what someone is trying to say. I'm lost on this one.
It's suspect
You sure because right now it means gay like a guy could be wearing a skirt and you would say "idk man that's a little sus" It means other things to like acting different or suspicious
It’s related to the game « among us ». When we have to choose an impostor, we call him « sus » for « suspicious » that’s all
I thought it means suspicious....in among us game
suspicious
Lmfao so when someone calles a guy sus what does that mean
Best watch it, dude. Your comment reeks of homophobia. Whats wrong with men wearing skirts anyway? The dress was originally created for men anyway. So were heels. Don't believe me? Go look it up, it's in the history books.
To everyone else, thank you. Suspicious makes sense but I wanted to be sure.
also, I know a lot of men who look better in skirts and dresses than I do. And there's nothing wrong with that. I'm more comfortable in jeans anyway. There was a time when women wearing pants was considered blasphemous. Times are changing. Move with them, not against them.
suspicious
Lol your not understanding I'm saying people call it SUS never did I say that I had a problem with it
Gotta be careful how you word things. It came off flippant and homophobic. Just letting you know. It's hard to tell when writing without knowing a person's character.
