looking at Chinese scans of manga sucks

[insaneneko]

After listening to the wonderful CD dramatization of chapter 2.5 that came with some issue of Ciel this year (Ritsu sounds so sweet and adorable!), I gave in and downloaded the Chinese scans of Sekai Ichi Hatsukoi ~Onodera Ritsu no Baai~ chapters 3-5. They made me want to read them so much more. There were a couple of scenes that just killed me, not knowing what the hell they were saying. Wasn't someone going to scanlate this? Can they skip the first volume and go straight to volume 2 so that I can know what's going on? Either that, or can the publisher come out with volume 2 already?

I noticed there were already two chapters out of the newest couple in the series...Anyone read them? Any good?

Oh no, sorry, I've read that many of the Junai books, I meant the Sekaiichi ones. (I think there are only two of those so far.)

The Romantica books are bad, but in a funny "Oh man, Usagi, why are you, an award-winning novelist, writing this crap?" kind of way. (Also, kind of fun to watch the train wreck of how un-Misaki-like the Misaki character will act.) The Sekaiichi ones are just...annoying. In a "Why would I want to read this?" kind of way.

...Then again, I think you have a lot higher tolerance for bad novels than I do. I wouldn't even TOUCH some of the stuff you read. XD;;

I keep thinking about Usagi and his editor having fun coming up with things for the Junai Misaki when I read the Junai books. ^^;

Yeah, I have a pretty high tolerance for crap. But I do complain about a lot of them too. XD;
