Send 'em back to kindergarten!

Is it too much to ask that one US-licensed manga I buy NOT have a spelling mistake or gender error or missing verbs or wrong translations? And English was actually one of my weaker subject areas in school..."SCHOOL" was spelled wrong!!!! they forgot the 'C' and no, it wasn't part of a joke. Who are they hiring as editors!? Spell-check deficient twelve year olds from the middle of a poverty-stricken country?

ANYWAY eh hem.

Emma S2 7! Hans, poor Hans. You are neither quite as happening as Hakim nor do you have a harem, but you sure try. Mr. Campbell is creepy...I foresee more creepiness.

Seirei no Moribito 9! Why does L'arc's opening song sound like it's coming from a cave? In this episode, we are shown that Chagum's brother, Sagum, is a decent guy.

Love★Com 9! There is much sighing and crying.

I know I shouldn't...

...but can I please, please, please know which manga this was? I ask because out of idle curiosity I picked up a translation of Bleach the other day and was able to identify three mistranslations and one omission on the one page I randomly looked at, and we're talking about something I read *once* in Japanese two years ago.

And also because I just got some manhwa & manhua from DramaQueen the other day and boy, do those people have problems with punctuation, subject-verb agreement, and singular/plural distinction.

It was Junjo Romantica vol 3.
I'm always a little disappointed by word choice or phrase and the overuse of some words...like 'pissy' in this book, but they could at least run a computerized spell-check and a grammar-check.

Ah well, gotta support Japan's pretty boy market here in the States otherwise we'd be left with...normal American-made porn entertainment which isn't pretty at all. ^_^

Agreed on that last, at least. I just wish I could draw, because then I could make my own enterpornment that takes the best bits from both sides of the ocean.
