[Sharing] Character charts
EDITED (fixed character chart and "Abyss");
Well, since I don't have any scans to share *yet*, I decided to play around with Photoshop and translated/edited the character profiles and characters relations chart from G-Fantasy's official site. ^_^ Here they are (click for full-size images):
Notes about the characters relation chart:
+ "Zwei" (ツヴァイ) means "two" in German. I don't know if it's in any way relevant to the manga as I haven't had the chance of reading it yet.
+ Tsukkomi and boke: they belong to a style of Japanese stand-up comedy called "Manzai." It involves two performers, the "tsukkomi" (straight man) and the "boke" (funny man/idiot) trading jokes at great speed. The "boke" will say stupid things or make silly mistakes and the "tsukkomi" will correct him, often punishing him with a smack on the back of his head. An example would be:
Boke: Wow, there are so many 'gaijin' (foreigners) in America, it's amazing...
*HEAD SMACK*
Tsukkomi: Of course there are lots of gaijin in America! It's a foreign country, moron!
+ I might've made some mistakes in either two of the charts since my knowledge is based on the Japanese text and not on reading the manga itself. ^^;
+ I don't know if it's relevant to the manga, but the name Aviz アヴィス (I googled...) comes from Saint Benedict of Aviz. I was browsing through
bearmoon's PH shrine (which is awesome, btw :D) and saw a scan of a chapter. The kanji for アヴィス is 深遠 (either pronounced shi-nen or shin-en), meaning profound/deep, therefore I'm pretty sure it's not "Aviz" but really "Abyss." Sounds better now. ;p
+ Enjoy! It got me even more interested, so I hope it'll be the same for everyone else. <3
