And who's deciding who the villains and heroes are? Isn't it all up to point of view?
Yeah it is^^ they don't say who they are that's up for you to decide :p
Drama section was too short.
Nice work for the guy who did this.
I had known manga scanlation since 2005, used to download it via IRC... But i had always been in the dark on what and how it started.
I kinda feel the shoujo group part is a bit biased :D there are a lot of notable shoujo groups that never mentioned or mention only onced, well they are small or they are dead/struggling by now, or maybe because it is shoujo.
Awesome
