The confession finally happened in Sono Bisque Doll.
I am going to be actually upset with the mangaka if he decides to wrap up the series with this latest volume. I just want another Sweat and Soap that spends some time navigating actually being in a relationship with someone else. Goujo's self-hating tendencies and Marin's over the top earnestness is a good recipe for continued misunderstandings.

Same reason why porn goes for good-looking actors and actresses by default.

They want to be appealing and since they do know the content isn't worth it, they rely on visual presentation to do it.
 
I'm on Fairy Tail The Final season and I'm about 13 episodes in. So far I really like it. The anime has come a long way since I first started it 10 years ago. I wonder if 100 year quest anime will be even better. I hope to see more from this franchise. Fairy Tail was never big like Dragon Ball, Naruto or Attack On Titan. It feels so underrated to me.

Since she is Brazilian this name suddenly now makes sense and can actually work.

Brazilian names culture are actually really weird, since unlike our father (portugal) where they have a set list names to use and nothing else, in Brazil you can make shit up and holy shit they did. They did so much that eventually some names were straight up ban because of their shitty nature to shame the name's owner.

Let me guide you to some practices:
- fusing two different names into two ones (usually the father and mother)
- adding new characters for "Style": (imagine the name Amanda, I studied with a people with the name Amandda, carollyna, rycardo, iggor and so on)
- imagine being a fan of a person so much that you like their name and you want to give to your son/daughter, ah but he is male and the kid was born female, just add an A in the en d like Neymar to Neymara
-straight up naming after objects because it sounds cool for them
- literal word play with their surnames to create .onstruosities

And seeing this little list of possibilities, there was a brazilian Singer that did brazilian versions of foreign songs named Latino, if you take the O out and add the A, you can easily justify the name to make sense, not because of "lol it is fiction", but because reality is far more strange in the case of brazilian names (which is kinda similar to the USA nigger names like shakeisha and konaysha)

And if you doubt me, here a list of REAL PEOPLE with various examples of how they did this shit (of course most of you will not get the word play, but I will try to explain some of them)

Aeronauta Barata (aeronaut coackroach)
Agrícola Beterraba Areia (farming beetroot sand)
Agrícola da Terra Fonseca (farming earth)
Alce Barbuda (moose beardy)
Amado Amoroso (loved loving)
Amável Pinto (loved slang for penis)
Amazonas Rio do Brasil Pimpão (Amazonas river of brasil Pimpão)
América do Sul Brasil de Santana (south america brazil of santana)
Amin Amou Amado (to love loved loved (fuck your english verbs limitation)
Antonio Manso Pacífico de Oliveira Sossegado
Antônio Morrendo das Dores (antonio dying of pain)
Aricléia Café Chá (aricleia coffee tea)
Asteróide Silverio (asteroid silverio)
Ava Gina (quite easily lol)
Bandeirante do Brasil Paulistano (explorer of brazil of são paulo descent)
Barrigudinha Seleida (big belly seleida)
Bispo de Paris (bishop of paris - fucking lol)
Bizarro Assada (bizarre roasted)
Céu Azul do Sol Poente (blue sky of sunset)
Chevrolet da Silva Ford (you get it)
Colápso Cardíaco da Silva (collapsed cardíac)
Disney Chaplin Milhomem da Silva
Dezêncio Feverêncio de Oitenta e Cinco
Dolores Fuertes de Barriga (strong pain in the belly)
Esparadrapo Clemente de Sá
Homem Bom da Cunha Souto Maior (good man)
Ilegível Inilegível
Inocêncio Coitadinho (genious wordplay here)
Janeiro Fevereiro de Março Abril (fucking lol - january february march april)
Lança Perfume Rodometálico de Andrade (holy shit I just cant do it)
Marciano Verdinho das Antenas Longas (green martian of long antennas
Maria Privada de Jesus
Maria Tributina Prostituta Cataerva
Maria-você-me-mata (maria you kill me)
Mimaré Índio Brazileiro de Campos
Napoleão Sem Medo e Sem Mácula (napoleon without fear and without stain)
Natal Carnaval (christmas carnival)
Necrotério Pereira da Silva (morgue pereira silva)
Oceâno Atlântico Linhares (atlantic ocean linhares)
Otávio Bundasseca (Otávio dryass)
Pacífico Armando Guerra
Padre Filho do Espírito Santo Amém (father, son and Holy Spirit amen)
Plácido e Seus Companheiros
Remédio Amargo
Renato Pordeus Furtado
Restos Mortais de Catarina (deadly remains of caterina)
Rocambole Simionato
Universo Cândido
Vicente Mais ou Menos de Souza (Vicente more or less de souza)
Zélia Tocafundo Pinto (zelia putdeep dick)

So yeah, Latina as a name isn't so bad at all, I can even tell you that her nickname would be Lati or Tina.

To see people that speaks in english to call any other language dry is a joke. I like the usability of english because it is a simple language but it is devoid of any lyricism.

There is a 1990 film adapting cyrano de bergerac stage play and the english subs clearly shows a lack of lyricism so clearly that I even took my portuguese version to compare (french is more similar to portuguese) and english was really bad in comparisson.



Every time I read something that was translated from japanese to english, I just accept that I am missing stuff, even more if it was poetry. It is just the nature of english translation.

If it makes you feel better, actual hentai animation look like ass for the last two decades.

There is a large Japanese population in Brazil in the same vein, there are or were a lot of Brazilian laborers in Japan a few decades ago, some halfers still around as well.

They've always looked like ass, we just brush everything made in the '90s and '80s off because of cel animation, but they were typically cheap productions. Not every hentai could look like Legend of the Overfiend.

I think a lot of manga falls into one of three categories: an artist drawing whatever they want (Oh! Great is a prime example of this), a writer trying to add pictures to their scripts (think the original OPM drawn by One), or a writer hiring/partnering with an artist. The last is going to be more expensive and may involve some compromises between the writer and artist.
 
Man, I’m always a sucker for the structure of having a character who is capable (probably a deuteragonist himself), and contriving a way for that character to be removed from the plot for a significant chunk of time so the remaining characters can become capable themselves. Karakuri Circus did it, Dragonball did it, and Undead Unluck is doing it. Despite it being telegraphed from the outset, I still get that excitement seeing that character return, because from a meta-narrative perspective it is confirmation of the growth of all the characters, but within the narrative itself it’s the return of a character the story had already gone at length to convince you to care about.

I think part of the issue is that mangaka (and writers in general) tend to be in love with the idea of “being in love”. Actual relationships are messy and the amount of retarded fights that emerge literally because someone is to proud to admit fault, is attacking people because of anxiety, or are paranoid because they are stable for the first time in their lives are hard to make entertaining and amusing.

Andy returning from the fucking Sun is gonna be hype. I’m guessing the Remember artifact is gonna cause Unruin to have a crisis of identity and Andy lays a smack down on him.
 
JJK is ending in 5 chapters apparently...

There is no way that it won't be a shitty rush job, there is so much left open.


Edit:
On much better news, the shonen goat Hunter x Hunter is coming back on October 7th.
And volume 38 will be released on September 4th.

I can't wait to get 10 excellent chapters and then back to years of hiatusxhiatus.

No word on how long for I'm guessing...? I empathise with them pretty heavily and I get they've made their money - as well as their wife has - in the industry, but man he just needs to take a back seat advisory role now. Or writer if he is up to it, or something in-between where he dictates but doesn't write. The constant cock tease is so annoying man.

I'll have to try JJK again. I dropped it like 5 chaps in cos I didn't wanna follow another weekly.

JJK is huge, I can't imagine their hand was forced. Even Tite Kubo was allowed to keep going until they literally hospitalised themselves.

The manga industry is brutal, they don't really care about the merits of the story as long as it sells.
 
Hokkaido Gals Are Super Adorable! is ending in the next two chapters:

Between this, Nagatoro ending and Takagi-san’s family manga spin-off ending recently, I’m going to possibly run out of guilty pleasures to read and complete.

I kid, but it’s hard to believe it’s finally going to be over soon. It makes me want to finish the anime when I have the chance.
