Re: Otoyome-gatari by Mori Kaoru

Putting them on the extra chapter- I am suspecting we won't be seeing much of them anytime soon. :(

Re: Otoyome-gatari by Mori Kaoru

I to missed Karluk and Amir, but the twins are two of my favorite characters, I've been enjoying the current arc. Both are feisty, and quite funny, the chapter where they spent the afternoon with their respective fiances was among my favorite in the series.

A little bit of sad perspective on where the twins would have lived. This is the Aral Sea in 1985, similar to how the twins would have seen it, during the 19th century:


Dr. Smith encountered the twins while passing the southeast corner, on the bottom right of the picture. Below is a picture of the Aral Sea as it is today:

Re: Otoyome-gatari by Mori Kaoru

I have just caught up until chapter 23. Slow series is slow, but I am slow too so yeah. :sweat

Aww, I had a good laugh on the chapters about the twins. Too bad the latest Edited Manga didn't cover their marriages, would love to see that. Chapter 22 was very touching. That is so much like mothers anywhere in the world, worried for their children who are getting married... Especially since Layla and Leila seem so unreliable. :P Yet behind it all there is only love. All in all I love the dynamic, and supported by amazing graphic (I had just forgotten how detailed Otoyomegatari's artwork is) turned this series into something very special.

I missed Karluk and Amir though. Too bad we only meet them on the extra chapter. :(

As much as that would probably the case you have to admit that extra chapter was pure genius given the transition from what was going on with the current arc. Here we have two twins about to embark to the married life - and as they found out it certainly wasn't going to be such an easy ride. Yet, here we have Amir who probably also had to deal with the same transitions as the twins but handling the entire thing so effortlessly. This to me was quite good as it does give you a good sense of hope that the twins will be alright given time, sure Amir had always been outstanding but being a housewife isn't easy (especially at that time with the lack of modern conveniences) so I wouldn't entirely downplay what Amir would probably have gone through.

yup I already read the chapter.

Very nice chapter of the wedding that is starting. Very good work, as always, by the mangaka. I didn't expect it to go long but I was thankful about the number of pages, and I can't wait for the next chapter to see the preparation on the boys' side.

I am actually quite satisfied with these match-ups of the twins and the brothers. I hope to see more of their married life after the wedding... If Mr. Smith would care to observe, hehe.

I went in thinking I was getting a sweet, wedding chapter, and instead I got a mass sheep slaughter chapter lol....Still great as always though.

I hope that after the next chapter that is the grooms' preparation perspective, that we get a third chapter that focuses on the actual ceremony and reception(that is if these type of weddings are even structured like that). What I really want is for this wedding to rival the wedding in Mori Kaoru's other series, Emma, which had an amazing wedding reception.

Well it looks like it will be a long time- the next for the groom's preparation, then another chapter for the actual wedding, then I'm crossing my fingers for a post-wedding sneak peak into the lives of the newly-weds... as Dr. Smith is saying goodbye and trying to move on..

when will we get to see another chapter of the first original couple, Amir and her young husband?? :wtf

No, you're right. Chapter 26 was october's chapter and we'll get a new chapter in december (Amir/Karluk, yay), but I suppose we won't get the translation till january. This time, I couldn't find the raw. I explained in a wrong way the last phrases wrongly, because, for a moment, I forget the chapter had been released last month in Japan. Sorry.

I know its weird since Karluk is so young, but I reread the manga, and I think the main couple ought to have a child. :blink
