Ganguro/Kogals/That subculture please
(2 posts, 2218 views) Posted: over 12 years ago by Genten in I'm Looking For...
So I was doing some productive research online, surfing the articles on Cracked.com, when I came across one that had a little spot about "gyaru" subculture (is that the right word for it? I've seen "kogal" and "ganguro" used but I don't know if they're the right names or ...

Gay themed book

Bumping this thread because I can't let it die. Who will discuss gay novels otherwise?
Not too much on my front, through. I've picked up Two Boys at Swim, a period novel set in an older Irish period. It's really heavy, and one very long read, so I haven't finished even hal...

Site Poll - Chat Box 133 - Spending on Anime/Manga
(44 posts, 6450 views) Posted: over 12 years ago by Genten in Chatter Box
Generally, I spend 0-100 dollars a year on manga. If it's a good year and I have a lot of money/there are a lot of books I want then it's usually 100-500 dollars. I wish I had enough money to spend 1000+ though, that would be amazing. As it is, I usually have to pick and ...

How to behave around girls?
(111 posts, 14020 views) Posted: over 12 years ago by Genten in Chatter Box
Control yourself. Don't touch someone even if you really want to because I know a lot of people who are sensitive about personal space and hate being touched unless they initiate the contact. If you'r...

I only hate my family from time to time. We're all some very weird people and my brother and my dad are very emotional and often get into very loud, obnoxious arguements. I'm usually never involved in these but the house is pretty small, and voices carry, so whether yo...

1. Be yourself.
2. Have good manners.
3. Be nice. Everyone hates a jerk.
4. Pay attention to another person's reaction. If they don't like something you did then don't do it again.
5. Don't do anything you wouldn't do around your own friends.

Besides any number of the BL manga I'm reading (why must the genre be so huge?) I have a few titles I'd like to see licensed.
First are the Magical Madoka manga spin offs. All three, Innocent Malice, Magical Madoka, and Ryofuko-chan, would be awesome to hold in my hands (a...

I always see discussions of sematics in threads like these.

Tokyopop Ends Manga Publishing After Fourteen Years
(78 posts, 15232 views) Posted: over 13 years ago by Genten in Manga General
You do realize that Tokyopop was the first company to actually use the unflipped, original Japanese way of reading manga, right? Before that every company that released manga had it in standard American comic book format.

I get really annoyed when I see people that say 'good riddance' to things like this, especially when Tokyopop was really important to both the English manga industry and a lot of manga collectors.

Yaoi centered around kindergarten? [NO SHOTA]
(10 posts, 7062 views) Posted: over 13 years ago by Genten in Yaoi/Yuri
Perhaps the manga you're looking for is the first story of Ai no Kotoba wo Uragaeshi. The guy takes in a kid and raises him until he becomes a horny highschool student. Even if it isn't the manga you're looking for, though, I recommend it.
