Thank you.....Thank you fifthy times, now I don`t have the feeling anymore. Now, the only thing left is to wait until that scanlation get in the net, and for Sayo to translate it, like happened with the six and maybe the seven, but I can wait that long, as Aries shion said and I will quote it:

`...I`ve waited 243 years....Sure I can wait a little longer....´

Ugetsu

The frustrating thing is that Sayo DID translate it, and I think I downloaded it, but because it was random pages it was kind of appended to something else and it does not seem to be listed in the KnJ section here. We could ask him I suppose...

Thanks for finding those pages @Newno, I have to say that when I did that work I knew about 3 kanji and now I theoretically know about 300, but it is hard to summon them up in context. KnJ is great to practice with and I should use it more. I have a book, "Remembering the Kanji" by James W. Heisig -- he gives a ONE WORD definition for each kanji, which in some ways is bad because you get no Japanese pronunciation or compoounds or anything else, just that one English word. Still if you are trying to get hundreds of characters into your head, that is not a bad way to approach it. You can actually see the approach for free with this website below. You have to sign in to use the site but it's free. The characters and definitions correspond exactly to what is in the book, but there is also a lot of user input, people tell stories about how they remember the connection between the shape and the one word def.

My pleasure Ugetsu and like he said Samus, Sayo already translated the pages it just that they disappeared somewhere but i'll put a little more effort into finding those translated pages. I'll also check out that website of kanjis thanks man.

You know what guys? I`ve been thinking seriously about buy my own copies of Knj manga, I`ts just that I`ve never bought me ANYTHING by mercado libre, Ebay or any of those pages, so I`m a little green in that regard, now I`m really interested. They say the mangas are cheap, how much we are talking about? In Dollars or Pesos? In my birth city Merida there`s a new store,and a Japanese guy who has a Main store in Japan(MEGAMIX)and he says that he can get it for me, but I want to try all the options. I accept suggestions and maybe by the beggining of 2010 I will start, like I did with the original manga collection of Card Captor Sakura ( My most precious material possesion).

Nine bucks plus seven shipping, to USA from Tokyo

Comics/Manga/Kodomo no Jikan#7 - eBay (item 270484027317 end time Dec-12-09 02:28:31 PST)

If your local guy charges you $20 that's probably fair.

I think people who get into mangas eventually want the original raw paper copies...

And then get interested in reading them. :-)

TTwTT Almost 200 mexican pesos even with the shippment if my calculations aren`t wrong.......SO CHEAP! thank you Ugetsu-sama, I will check what I must,and save some of my money for something else than getting me video games, I think that we must keep this manga in a special place in our rooms, you know, so in the future so many new generations of readers know this fine state-of-the-art manga. By the way, my Master, I will need your help soon, I have a proyect that I want to complete soon, and I will need your Knowledge about Japanese usage and kanjis, In fact, I need the kanjis of "sounds" like breathing, shaking the body, and .......erm, almost let it slip of my tonge.....I want it to be a sorprise for all of you, my friends....Anyway, I will contact you soon, my Master Ugetsu-sama, in this forum I will ask for you help soon, so if you don`t mind to assist me, I will be very thankfull. Don`t worry, the figurine that I`ve been workin is ready, you will find it here the next week by the Friday.

Newnonimous

Yep that's about the exact price for a manga, it's cheaper than most people think. What's wrong with buying video games? they're the best there is to buy but yeah it doesn't hurt to get something else too, i do it as well. I have all of the KNJ mangas stored in my room, i occasionally read through them once in awhile. I'm looking forward to seeing your figurines Samus.

Ugetsu

I'd like to see your original Rin figurine -- if you took the picture with a real camera instead of a blurry cell phone. There is someone who does not seem to be around any more, I don't want to say the name... Of course I am also interested in the new figurine. I have a book about the special language in Mangas -- there are a recognized set of sound effects, and it might be easy to answer your questions. Mostly the sound effects are not exactly kanji but rather they are written out in katakana or sometimes hiragana...

I hope you arenot talking about me, Ugetsu. I just been real busy with work these last few weeks and my computer is down.

I must commment anout getting copies of the Mangas, try and get them from dealers in Japan, that way the sales count toward the total copies sold. If you purchase from secondary sources (used or dealers in U.s. or outside of Japan) these copies don't count toward total sold. The more copies sold helps the Artist keep wanting to produce the manga, I have purchased all my copies through E-bay, I'll find the guys store and list it to you. However they do come out to about 25-30 dollars, more you buy however the less shipping costs.

Ugetsu

No, the bully...
