[kiddo7]

Re: Manga Mommies' Corner

well this sure is an interesting thread. I was not sure what I was going to fing when I read the title I thought it would be discusions about Anime caarachters that are moms. guess I was wrong.

@winterlion
I didn't know you where a mom... though I should have guessed. Always handing out milk and cookies.

Re: Manga Mommies' Corner

But if it's not a bloody chapter, just print it out. My kids love colouring the manga pages and I can read it later again in all rainbow colours (- have you ever saw naruto with pink hair?)^^

LMAO

I have to see that. XD

So there's Luna as well. Nii-chan says that there's two more. Nyah. Which makes me wonder...I can imagine mommies here since I know two of you quite well, and I know that there was a father over at NF. But are there any daddies in here? o.O

Oh, Ni-chan. Scan the colourings. XD

I can imagine when I'm married, my wife will always make an excuse to use the PC every Thursday ^^
And it's not long now from that time >.<

Re: Manga Mommies' Corner

Well, I'm not married, yet. But I have two sisters. The eldest is 26 and currently living and working in another town. The other one is 11 now and she lives with my aunt. So, I usually go there once a week or so to check how she's doing. She likes manga too, I'm still limiting to what she can read. So far she's reading Naruto, One Piece and several other kiddy shoujo titles.

How could I forget?! Me of all people?! Me, who wants to be adopted by Taye-chan, just so his daugter could be my sister. XD

Re: Manga Mommies' Corner

Eeeeeek!!! I've been neglecting our little mommy corner. Though yes it really should be a parents' corner. ^^; But Manga Mommies just sound catchier. But yes, Taychan definitely needs to join us here (hence my reason for saying daddies are welcome as well. ^^) Actually everyone's welcome here. As long as you don't mind the kiddie toys and mess.

my sister sees all anime as porn, so for my 18th christmas, she got me a ****** movie, thinking it was normal anime. it had tenticles, i hate tenticles. just a story for y'all.

ive got a question for the mothers: how do i get my mom to stop acting like shes as much of an otaku as me? she calls our cat Kotori (whom i named) papa-san after i started using honorifics, although she has no idea what san means, she'll walk in on me watching naruto, and ask if inuyasha has beat that bleach kid yet, and so on and so forth. i know shes just trying to be supportive, but (try as i might) i cant educate her in the way of otaku, and cant get her to stop acting like she knows everything.

Hmmm... sounds like your mom just wants something to do with you. If you don't like her getting involved in your manga stuff, then give her something else to spend time with you. If I remember correctly, I think you mentioned before that you're the youngest right? She's probably just feeling lonely because all her kids are growing up. So just spend some time talking to her, and if you don't want to talk about manga with her, steer the conversation to something else.

Srin Tuar's comment/question was
"I see. Do you read any light novels?"
To which my answer is, when I get the chance. ^^; Not very often anymore since I don't have the time, but I used to read a lot.

As for me... my side of the family, my parents and brother, all read at least a little manga and being Japanese we all grew up on it so we know manga doesn't equal porn or anything like that, so there's no problem with that. As for my husband, he likes his Chinese comics too (though he doesn't spend as much time on that stuff as I do here ). So while he's not exactly thrilled about it, he's not against it either. ^^

@Luna: It's great to meet another manga mommy. I'll leave this thread in you and eni's capable hands for the most part, and drop in every once in a while.

As much as I would love to spend tons of time here... I can't. So sorry in advance if my participation in this thread is sporadic.

Her name is Hina and I believe she's about the same age as my younger one. ^^

Re: Manga Mommies' Corner

Cute

Hina - top girl name (pronunciation) of 2005, I've read it recently

*reads the baby names* ... hehe, that's somehow funny. Because I know all this names from (fantasy) manga, I can't really imagine that they are in "real use". Do you know how I mean?
More like fantasy tale names, e.g. Tolkien's elves or hobbit names xD

It also feels unusual for a German to have such a clear meaning within the name. It's not like we have much "Lights", "Lovechilds" or "Sunflowers" running around. We have to look in old books to find out what our name means >.> ... btw, as for me, my name means "servant of the god dionysus", which is the god that "freeing one from one's normal self, by madness, ecstasy, or wine".
*muhaha* ... lets bring madness and ecstasy to the world! Free your mind with eni!

Re: Manga Mommies' Corner

I know what you mean eni, imagine someone naming his son aragorn, or gandolf jr, legolas, or frodo, that just wouldnt be right.

your name seems to amtch your personality somehow, at least your virtual mangahelpers one, I still remeber the commotion in bax's thread you caused after pairing temari and itachi, remeber what I said to you then?

finally in the purpose of sharing, my name means ........... Lion, yes I am a lion, how do you like that winter lion .

Re: Manga Mommies' Corner

So you mean you have more than one? I'm not sure where but you once posted that you were dealing with a three year old everyday, I guess it was that child you were talking about.

Re: Manga Mommies' Corner

elves are nothing. my sister named her kids after star wars characters. part of me feels bad for them, but the majority of me, the geek, wants to cheer for my sis XD

i was in the bookstore today, thumbing threw manga, and as i found one ive been looking for for months, i notice this lady, mid-twenties, id guess, with a two or three year old. the woman is going threw the books, same as me, and her little girl is just point at any random grouping of manga and going "mommy! this is dragon ball 1, this is dragon ball 2," et cetera. so i smiled at the cuteness of it all, and thought of you guys... then she looks up to me and says "excuse me, but how can you tell me how to tell what is appropriet for what ages" so im guessing she was just trying to figgure out what to get for one of her kids, but i still think it was cute; especailly the little girl.

and yeah, lion, you got it right, im the youngest. thank you for the advice, it makes a lot of sense. unfortinatly im not the most talkitive guy 90% of the time, but ill try to talk to her more.

well, I do know a boy named Aragorn and ..*counts*.. three girls named Arwen or Eowyn. But these are two very nice names. I wouldn't be surprised about Legolas and Frodo either

your name seems to amtch your personality somehow, at least your virtual mangahelpers one, I still remeber the commotion in bax's thread you caused after pairing temari and itachi, remeber what I said to you then?

Thanks to that, I'm offically listed as a perv now. so it seems >.>

And no, my name fits my virtual personality only. People who meet me in reallife are always shocked how silent and shy I am >.<

elves are nothing. my sister named her kids after star wars characters. part of me feels bad for them, but the majority of me, the geek, wants to cheer for my sis XD

Depends on the names ... Lea and Luke would be ok, but Obi Wan or Amidala would be a little bit obvious xD

then she looks up to me and says "excuse me, but how can you tell me how to tell what is appropriet for what ages" so im guessing she was just trying to figgure out what to get for one of her kids

Ah, that's a good topic. Any manga recommandations for my sister (11 years)?
Or any nice manga for younger ones?

I bought this one along with a few other small children books (Momotarou,...) to practice Hiragana reading some time ago (yes, in japanese xD): http://www.j-energy.co.jp/hanataba/square/wadai/0011.html
It's cute (and sad ;__, but not really a manga. My daughter likes it, tough. We just need a translation xD

Re: Manga Mommies' Corner

@eni, translate yourself :P

Speaking of names, most of the people with, let's say unusual names, seems to be unhappy about that... well, some of them have the right, it can be pretty embarassing. But I always thought it's better to have a unique name than a very common one. (and I can understand the parents that want to name a kid after manga/star wars/any-other-obsession character XD)

My daughter's name is Nell

You know, my sister is 15 and she hates manga
I tried to force convince her, but nothing seems to work... any advice?


Oh, and I'll try to post/check this thread, though as you probably noticed, I don't spend much time on MH.. promised Eni that will change though

I dont mind but I'd rather give someone a name of a role model of the real world, a sports player, or a a significant figure, maybe a historical figure, although I wouldnt pressure them to be the exact same person.

well I think you should let her see an anime spisode, you see anime may be more appealing to teenagers, its coloured, more lively and the story progresses faster than manga, once she gets in the action thrill or the angst or comedy I think your evil scheme would find merit .

later, later ... let me learn it first >.>
I've read the German version of that book, so I can tell her without reading

I also prefer unique names. My name isn't that usual here, but my sister knows a few girls with the same name. That's boring

My daughter's name is Nell

... and you're a Bleach fan, hahaha ... that's great

I tried to force convince her, but nothing seems to work... any advice?

Give her a manga/anime that is about her fav hobby? Take her with you to a Visual Kei concert?

I think we shouldn't force ppl to the light when they prefer to stay in darkness >.>

Re: Manga Mommies' Corner

Since we're in the subject of names, here's a question that won't ever stop popping into my head.

Just how tempted were you (if, the case was that you were already a manga/anime fan before you gave birth) to name your kids after your favourite characters? Or a reference to manga or anime?

Because everytime I think about it, I can't stop imagining kids with names based on characters. XD I mean, if I were to get a pet, I would so greatly take on the chance to name that pet upon a character. XD

 

[kadodo]

Re: Manga Mommies' Corner

Even Though I'm not a parent I hope it's not a problem i entered this conversation. If your family doea not know about you reading manga they will surely ask where you find that name. if they know they will say why give your child the name of a cartoon. The temptation might be very powerful on you but whatever the name you give it from a manga or anime, parent will be dissapointed or something like that.

When I read this, I was thinking that if your favorite character's name appear in the English-speaking community (not necessarily an English name, but a name that doesn't sound too exotic/made-up or obviously Japanese) then there isn't much problem. I doubt naming your kid Nell, Allen, or Robin would raise an eyebrow compared to Yachiru or Luffy

Oh, and hello to all the parents here in MH!
