New Poll - Guilty vs. Innocent
(17 posts, 1843 views) Posted: about 1 year ago by naeddyr in News
In a court of law, yes, as long as we can trust that that court is impartial. But personally, I'm going not going to bother if it's likely enough. Another terrible poll designed to court controversy.
New Poll - Purpose of Prisons
(23 posts, 1832 views) Posted: over 2 years ago by naeddyr in News
Your poll question is again poorly chosen. Is the question "The primary goal currently is", in which case the answer depends completely on where the person you're asking is from (in the US it's corruption in the prison system and prison slavery, which is still constitutio...
New Poll - Flossing
(12 posts, 1171 views) Posted: over 3 years ago by naeddyr in News
Twice a day before I brush my teeth because I discovered disposable floss-handles where you have something like a tooth-brush, but the end is a replaceable pair of prongs with a bit of floss between them, like a tightly wound slingshot. It makes it soooo easy and doesn't ...
New Poll - Manga Passion

I guess mango-passion fruit is ok, but my favorite flavor is strawberry.
Romance?
(3 posts, 2167 views) Posted: over 7 years ago by naeddyr in Zetianji (Novel)
For anyone wondering after these past months whether there is any romance, I'll necro this thread:

Yes, yes there is.

It is both so good and so frustrating because there are misunderstanding and fake identities involved. But I really like the Chen X Xu pairing.
New Poll - Web Comics
(19 posts, 3594 views) Posted: over 8 years ago by naeddyr in News
It's just that sometimes the questions are too specific without there being a more general answer. "Never have" or "No" would have covered both "probably never will" and "I might possible do so".

Not every question needs to have all the answers be detailed. "Yes" and "No" ...

Why is there no "Never have, maybe I will?"

The loss is a subjective one. There are others who couldn't care less.


That's just a mean statement. If there are people who couldn't care less, then why cater to them? They don't care! While those who DO care, who want to keep novels, actually have something to lose!...

(248 posts, 32294 views) Posted: over 8 years ago by naeddyr in News
If you end up removing webnovels and keeping published LNs, what about when a WN gets published as an LN, but the translations we get in English are based on the WNs?

At least in that case you could let us keep the WNs, and add WNs with translations if they get an LN.

But I...

I can suggest whatever I want, and so can you.


It was just a suggestion.

If you start to consider yourself a gatekeeper of taste, you should also block 93% of all manga out there...

Please don't suggest that. It will just lead to tears.

Please don't remove novels or webnovels. If you do that, I guarantee there won't be any alternative for listings. Ahoupdates is so niche as it is that it will wither away in a year like all splinter-forums.

Just yesterday I was wondering if I should ask about a Novel or Te...
Chapter 7: I spy with my little eye: possible romantic rivals

Yep, my predictions from the start of the manga didn't pan out at all. [spoiler]
Chapter 7: I spy with my little eye: possible romantic rivals

Spoilers for chapter 10 and 11, based on Chinese scanlations and a summary for chapter 10:

I think we can all see the pretty simple parallell that Sayuri:Hijiri :: Tsubaki:Kanoko, Sayuri is to Hijiri what Tsubaki is to Kanoko, at least in temper...
Kanoko, why don't you cut him a little slack?
(1 posts, 2237 views) Posted: over 12 years ago by naeddyr in Koi da no Ai da no
Poor Tsubaki-kun.

She really doesn't hold back, does she? Unlike a typical romantically dense female protagonist, each and every chapter seems to dig the male partner into a deeper pit. In chapter 9, Kanoko finally came to the conclusion that Tsubaki has never had any fema...
Naedoko's First Crush?
(3 posts, 3825 views) Posted: over 12 years ago by naeddyr in Koi da no Ai da no
That's such a weird thing, though. I bet the storyline went through a lot of revisions and retoolings, and maybe Natsukasa was originally meant to belong in her harem... But as it is, it feels like a left-over round peg in a story that turned out to be full of square hole...
Tsubaki's "obviousness"
(5 posts, 3829 views) Posted: over 12 years ago by naeddyr in Koi da no Ai da no
He acts obviously in both private and public with her: when he tried to kiss her, and when he's being possessive. And people do wonder if they're dating, if only for a short while, like when the class goes "One-sided break-up talk?!" and when Kanoko's obliviousness destro...

(21 posts, 6734 views) Posted: over 12 years ago by naeddyr in Koi da no Ai da no
Does anyone else think that Kanoko may try to get Tsubaki and Hijiri closer together so that Tsubaki would actually have some friends equal to him? http://www.batoto.com/read/_/36898/koi-dano-ai-dano_v2_ch7_ by_koi-dano-scans/18 suggests that to me. Of course this is a pr...

Well, it's probably just me seeing a lot of foreshadowing put there to mess with my mind. biggrin A "transfer student" rival seems quite unlikely to me, though, mainly because there is no need for that particular trope, because the whole school is still untapped for its full pot...

(21 posts, 6734 views) Posted: over 12 years ago by naeddyr in Koi da no Ai da no
To Tsubaki, obviously. It seems to me that there's been some foreshadowing (mostly through jokes) that Jouran Hijiri might become interested in Kanoko. He's obsessed with the image of "Tsubaki" that he has in his mind; a competent mirror counterpart to himself, with the sa...

No one knows yet. The end.

A quick googling tells us that if White Day has happened, it hasn't been shown in the manga. So it's been a really, really short while in story time. The Setsuka-Cain mission has been going since two Februaries ago, but it's been only a few days....
