One Piece 38

[sara_tanaquil]

This might be a little premature, because I'm not sure if mangaroo has had a chance to read 37 yet, but having finished a draft of 39, I'm starting to lose track of where I am. So, here is 38 for all my Monday morning commenters.

Thank you!! Jeez, how many times do I re-read and proofread these things and I still make so many Japanese mistakes?? But I really appreciate you catching them.

I'm kind of sad I don't get to keep the "3" pun, because I was kind of amused by that, but it definitely makes more sense with the proper reading of "meets" (and I can see better where they got "Reunion" from now).

I didn't bring OP to work with me today (let us not discuss how often I have actually done that, but today is my busy/long day and I told myself I wouldn't have time...) so I will have to check the translation bits when I get home. I'm wondering now if Viz translated mayuge as eyelashes or eyebrow - they might well have got it right and I just missed it. (Gotta say, Eyebrow-bro just doesn't have the same ring.)

Did Viz not do the different font? Sad!

It was just a smaller font. Maybe it's just me, but looking at the Japanese version made me laugh harder.

Forget Lucci, I'm slashing the pigeon.

...with the mouse?

I thought about that, but the mouse deserves better. Unfortunately, I fear the pigeon may share Lucci's nature, making it hard for me to slash him with anything cute in good conscience. I'm afraid he would be a mean seme.

I'm glad you like Funkfreed! I honestly just couldn't remember very much about him, and between hating his owner so much and not wanting to get into *spoiler*, I just left it alone.

Certainly just about EVERYONE around Spandam is funnier and cuter than he is. (Except Lucci, who is just scarier.)

No, but it makes more sense, given that it's Sanji we're talking about. (Does he even HAVE eyelashes?)

I'm afraid he would be a mean seme.

Probably.

Certainly just about EVERYONE around Spandam is funnier and cuter than he is.

Hmm, less annoying, yes, but we're going to meet people I find just as un-funny and un-cute as Spandam.

It'll be interesting to have that conversation when we get there, because I have been finding... certain characters... much funnier and less annoying than I remembered. Maybe I just haven't been (re)exposed to enough of them yet.

Maybe hearing somebody else finds certain people to be funny will improve my view of them. But we'll see.

Well, that decides me: mouse x Iceberg, forever. Pimp-coat pigeon, you're history.
