La citation du mois (/ "word of the month")
En page de garde du tome 6 de Fullmetal Alchemist, voici la merveilleuse phrase de l'auteur (une femme):
"J'ai entendu dire que ma petite voisine (3 ans) était toute retournée quand elle a appris que je dessinais des mangas.
Elle s'est exclamée: "Est-ce qu'elle dessine de belles princesses?!".
Désolée, ma petite, je ne dessine que des vieux crasseux..."
Moi j'ai trouvé ça "tout chou"...
(Sorry, can't translate it into English, too many words I don't feel like checking, too busy/tired!)
One thing though: "Mangas" are really beginning to be absolutely "accepted" in France: at La Fnac, where I bought FMA and a few other mangas (INCLUDING CHRONO CRUSADE 3, YES!!!), there were Calmp art-books, the "North Side" art-book. Ok it was only one art-book, and it is Clamp (= sure to sell a lot), but there were a lot of it, and it's the first time that I see a -French edition- of any art-book! I mean it wasn't simply the Japanese edition, but really a French edition, with the interviews and comments at the end of the volume translated into French! I hope this "operation" will get successfull and that they will do a lot more in the future! (This way I wouldn't have to ruin myself at Junku everytime I want to buy an art-book anymore!) I couldn't buy it this time (my father didn't pay me this month = I'm definitely short on money, I have my salary to survive... but really "survive", because it isn't much at all), but I will surely buy it as soon as I can, would it be only in order to "support the idea/initiative"!
