Fandom Troubles - The Most Saddest of Troubles

[darknessneko]

To all doujinshi collecters/buyers out there who can't read Japanese, don't you just hate when you buy a doujinshi, a random buy based on a good cover, only to find it's more novel than art? I know I do. Almost makes me want to learn Japanese, so my money doesn't go to waste. Almost.

The last of my doujinshi for a long while came in today and two

Aw, I'm sorry to hear you're having troubles with your doujinshi. )= But actually, I think I know a way that can help! When you're purchasing doujinshi, look for the kanji '小説' in the title or description. Together, those kanji mean 'novel,' and I've noticed people are usually pretty good about accurately labeling their doujinshi as such on YHJ. Though I certainly feel your pain, let me tell you. I've bought doujinshi that were mostly novel before, and it made me very sad. So remember! If the description says something like "レグリ小説," don't buy it

I must admit I'm surprised to see you. xD But, I'm also glad to see ya~ :3 And thanks for the info! I never knew that (which undoubtedly proves my noobness with YHJ xDD), but I'll definitely remember that. I just checked one of the djs I got and it seems that they didn't use '小説' and it was half novel. D: Cursed seller! >3< Nonetheless, it's another tool in my arsenal. xD May I ask what did you do with novel dj? Are you saving it for the one day you can read Japanese?

I don't mind, ask away! It's mostly because I don't feel too satisfied with the ones I'm buying. They don't feel like they're worth all the money I'm pouring into them. I think it's also has to do with the dollar being low (it was 76ish when I was last buying them). The RedxGreen dj I wanted I lost it 3 times. orz Once it was going for more than 40-50$! It really kills my drive. >.< Though the strength seems to be returning in terms of yen! I've been spoiled by you and Nerin. o3o I hope that makes sense.

Thanks! <3 And I can definitely understand what you mean. I've

Ack. I'm really, really sorry it took so long to reply to this!! I got extremely sick this week, but I've been feeling better lately and decided to get around to replying to stuff.

Anyway, you have been a good friend and, well, I don't want to stay mad forever. =) Plus, I figured that since I had information that might be able to help you, I should speak up. I guess the doujinshi that didn't use 小説 in the description probably figured that didn't need to since it was half novel. That stinks. o.O Usually, though, they're pretty good about labeling it

[darknessneko]

It's not a problem. Nothing you can do when you're sick except cursing the virus. xDDD Besides, I'm also late so we're even? :3

Thanks and I'm glad! =D Naturally, likewise for you as well, especially since you've forgiven me. ^o^ Well, half novel is being generous... It's 90% novel. orz Besides, it's not excuse to not warn us noobs. -3- It does stink that the seller didn't at least warn for it. I wish they put a picture, at least, to show it's mostly novel! >3> This will definitely make me more wary than I already was. xD

I've also kept mine and what helped was that most of mine are mostly pictures and a bit of novel. This is the first time I gotten mostly novel and a bit of pictures (which was completely adorable when Red squished his Pika and his Pika was all "o_o??"). Hahaha, that doujinshi sounds awesome! Of course Naruto is the demon. xDD Is there high-school rooftop kissing in the end? ;DD Don't give up! I'm in the same boat and I've bought many Japanese things in the hopes of being able to read one day. I'm confident one day
