I'm still waiting for my copy to arrive! I'm looking forwards to reading this one :D.
I love Tooko Miyagi's illustrations. A shame about the quality of the editing. I know things are not always easy to translate from Japanese to English, but it doesn't mean it has to translated badly.
Haha, I was rolling around going in hysterics reading this novel. It was actually one of those, "I just can't put this down!" types, which I hadn't come across in a while.
I don't think the translation was bad (not that I can really judge, seeing as I know nothing about Japanese), but the missing commas made it kinda hard to read fluidly. Overall though, it's one of the grammatically better novels they've released.
Wow, really? I thought it was one of those teary angst ones! I definitely can't wait for mine to arrive next week or so. It's been a while since I've read a good BL novel. The last one I liked was A promise of a romance.
The translations admittedly is getting better and better. Their first few releases were horrible. OTRFK in particular. I've pretty much brought all of June's BL novels. Although there were some that I hated so much I wanted to burn it! Lol.
I came close to crying for Misao, but I didn't quite get there. I like this one a bit better than A Promise of Romance, but that novel was definitely awesome too.
And if we're talking about burning books, I'd love to burn Body Language and Like a Love Comedy. Both had quite a number of grammatical errors and the plot was just...horrid. *dies*
whoooa It's released already, hix bookdepository is so slow >"<, I'll patiently wait for my copy before reading your review, but thank you by the way^^
Well If your going to start burning June books you should burn Little Darling.A five year old could write a more coherent plot with better grammar than that.Like a love comedy was like reading an okayish essay on the american television industry with a half thought out story tacked on I agree with petapepy though, some of their earlier seem as though they couldn't be bothered to hire someone to proofread their English translation for any spelling and grammatical mistakes [the English ones].
You should try reading the Hana no Mizo Shiru fan scanlations.Although not done by Tachibana Veino, if you liked the art it's not a bad story at all.
LOL. xD You're the second person to seriously hate Little Darling. Considering my lack of memory of reading it, I wonder what I thought of it. o_O Maybe it was so bad, I just had to block it out? LOL.
And I'll take a look into Hana no Mizo Shiru. I've come across it a few times and really wanted to download it, but my list of downloaded manga that needed to be read is so long (I've been slacking on reading manga, as hard as that is to believe). xD But, I have grown very fond of Takarai Rihito's art too.
This sounds really interesting. I really love Tooko Miyagi's illustrations so now I'm on the edge of should I get it or not? What is a poor college student suppose to do? lol.
My sister have gone to yaoicon...maybe they'll find me a copy on sale? hopefully...
Oh! You're sister's so lucky! I was registered and gearing to go, but some setbacks occurred and then time just flew. u__u
I would think they'd have it at y!con though, considering it's a new release (and just before y!con started too). They did say they'd have a bunch of things on sale there, so perhaps...
Oh yes. I know how that can go. Sometimes plans just don't go as they should.
I'm hoping they could get it for me. They called me a lot today to ask me what I wanted so I told them. But I won't know until I go home in November what they got for me.If not I'll just have to prioritize my list of manga to get.
