Something like that. Either that or the rise of the empire of the rising sun...

And I'm waiting to get into army...... Bah, National Service. Think I'm going to shave my head.

Hah, I've always traveled a lot. This time though I'm going to be spending more time than normal in those places so I wanted to see if anyone was nearby to grab a drink.

It's that same company again ... they've just licensed Haruhi-chan, K-ON!, and Bungaku Shoujo yesterday.

And damn they work fast in targeting us ...

personally, i am heartened when works are licensed... if only they release quality translations soon...

however, some of these companies acquire the license but don't release any work... and if they do, the quality seems to be lacking...

i think they license in "bulk"... maybe they are targeting the manga or anime, but just get the entire caboodle in the process...

Eurgh if that's true I damn all companies!!! Unto hell!!! Well I think all the LNs that are up here have official Korean translations so it really just annoys me more than anything when they're licensed... maybe a little self-centered? XD

But they don't release all the volumes that are out for YEARS... if they release them at all.
