I was all like, "Score! Free comic!" and then . . . yeah. My other dream was that I was Brett from the Flight of the Conchords and was touring with Jemaine around Australia.
i love how the comic gets flipped in the Japanese version. :) nothing can be too obscene for a comic...! thanks for the list of webcomics. I bookmarked them all but haven't had time to read them all yet. So many people out there who draw better and funnier stuff...! you ruined my self esteem. *thank you*
Iris: I'm not as brave as you are about sharing stories on my blog! But yeah...no problem about the self-esteem. Misery (and lack of colour) loves company!! :P

If so, this phenomenon happens in Chinese, too. The big Harry Potter books weren't longer than 200 or so Chinese pages. :)
Ah yeah...not really. The Japanese is just a loose translation of the comic title. Although a lot of things DO get lost in translation from English to Japanese. I guess Chinese and Japanese are a lot more economical languages, eh. For example, I can tweet A LOT in Japanese but almost always feel cut off in English...
Indeed!
