Edit: The challenge is closed. Hi, my group, Kotonoha, is looking for an experienced redrawer/cleaner to help us with two particularly challenging pages from the upcoming short story "The Book of the Moon" included in Usamaru Furuya's Garden. Basically, it involves two huge walls of text...

捨石となる means to sacrifice yourself for something (lit. to become a sacrificed stone). 地下百尺 literally means 100 feet (shaku) underground. I'm not sure what the whole expression means, but I guess the gist of the phrase is "For the sake of those without fangs, don't throw your life away." or...

Most comic lettering fonts are all caps because that's how the hand letterers did it in the pre-digital age. It's since become a natural part of the "comic book look." People simply expect the dialogs in a comic to be lettered that way. That doesn't mean you can't use lowercase fonts. There...

Aaah, Historie. Those were the days. I have faint memory of us Editing the first four volumes. I should have known better. ;)

Chapter 8 and 9 are out. Thank you, Meriken, for the great translation. If you haven't jumped on the bandwagon yet, you better do it now, because it only gets crazier from here on out. Here's the only English review (translated from French, but still) that I found: <hr noshade size="1"> The...

Thanks for pimping this series, Meriken. SOIL has been one of my personal favorites for years. Atsushi Kaneko is not just an accomplished artist, his story telling also has a Lynchian quality to it that is simply irresistible. Just think of SOIL as an X-files episode where Mulder and Scully...

The Chicago Tribune, one of the most ardent supporters of the Republican Party, has officially endorsed Barack Obama for President. This is a historical event, for the last Democrat the Tribune endorsed for President was in 1872. [hr] This is for those right-leaning readers who are still...

Sarah Palin gave one speech and the Republicans already thought she's the next superstar who will help them win the White House. By that logic, Barack Obama should have locked the presidential race a long time ago. The thing is, as provocative and aggressive as Palin's speech was, she's opened...

Wow, McCain is elitist? How did you figure that out? We're talking about a guy with a private jet (owned by his wife), five houses and $500 loafers. The typical American Joe!

Re: Do you really know John McCain? Miyi, you are, of course, free to bash Democrats all you want. I promise I won't be offended by anything you say. That's because I'm not a Democrat. :) Besides, could you show me one single quote of something I wrote myself that insults the GOP? ;)

Re: John McCain, a man of great integrity! @Blasphemy: Bashing? Me? No way! All I'm trying to do is inject some humor into the campaign, which is, after all, what Sen. McCain has been encouraging us to do lately. If none of the above is true, then why being so defensive? Or as the Joker says...

Now that's some fundraising for you. Try to beat this, Obama!

Do you really know John McCain? I realize that a lot of people don't really know who John McCain is, because he has spent 90% of his campaign talking about Obama. So here's my contribution to a better understanding of the man who is going to be the next president of the US of A.

John McCain, a man of great integrity! You know, I don't understand why some people are accusing John McCain of being an inflexible old fool. Below is a list of things John McCain has done which proves he is an intelligent man of great integrity who always puts our great nation first!

Obama May Be Too Thin To Be President! Whew, and I thought we might be in trouble for a second there. Let's face it, folks. Obama is just not one of us. He's elitist (he got a degree from Harvard after all!), out of touch (guy actually advocates for more time to think!) and Anti-American (just...
