Transcendence

haha - and now I will reply late to your late replies.

thankyou for the welcome 

and you are very young compared to me, but that is ok 

Fruits Basket did have a very complete ending! I tear up every time I read it ^)^

hello! I PR switchgirl, so thankyou for your hard work! I look forward to working with you 

I don't have any pets where I live, so I am jealous you even get some part time :-D

I agree! which is why I was really hoping there were some out there 

Reading the comments about Ghost Hunt got me thinking... there are so many mangas that end so terribly. What are some of your favourites that end well?

I like:

Special A: it is just so happy!

Gokusen: It grew on me. I wanted more. MORE. And at least there were a few specials, but it was super funny, and it felt right!

GTO: this is another that grew on me! I like the way it ends on a really happy note

Ouran High School Host Club: I was SO HAPPY about the end, especially as I felt the last 3-4 volumes had been very weak

You're So Cool - it was ok, but I mention it because I often find that manwa has the weakest endings that make me want to kick things.

Tokyo Crazy Paradise - I always feel like jumping through the end at the end of this one. It just finishes with such energy!

I have pretty much stuck to shoujo here, but am interested in what series other people thought finished well!

I saw the anime of ghost hunt first, and I will be honest - the stories freaked me out. I hid under a doona, and my bastard anime club members took great delight in scaring me.

Then I read the manga, because I wanted to know how it ended.
And? I would have been better of not knowing. So many mangas have such bad endings, and that was one of them :-/ I don't even need a happy ending (although I like one) that one was just so incomplete!

I really like this series. when I was looking at PRing for trancendence, I went through the releases, and found this one and read it until I was out of chapters to read. :-)

I really like both those series - I read the Chihayafuru manga before I watched the anime, but I loved season 1.

And NAtsume is definiteley on my faves list!

I am absolutely lucky to get the job I have! And I made it a *must* to travel as often as I can - say that means an extended trip, and a one day once a month :-) Because yes! it is beautiful, and it is so different to home!

Heh. It was only 5 hours from where I was...

You were in a beautiful part of Japan then! I still need to head back. When I was in Japan last time I met great people down there, and actually the only people I know in Japan live there!

Shirakawago was beautiful. I really wanted to see it under snow.

Actually I am near Tokyo - Tsukuba. Although it doesn't snow a LOT here it is enough to get icey and slippery, and just be generally cold.

For Christmas I went to Kanazawa which is on the other side of the country, and they had so much snow over there. Not in Kanazawa, but in Shirakawago, and next month I go to Hokkaido for the snow festival -they will definitely have snow there!

hehe. I am glad for older people too! It is nice knowing I am not an island 

Hello.

I am Sweeny, older than the ages. Well, older than 30, which, as I read through the intros, seems to be the same thing. I am newly signed up to help with proof reading.

I moved to Japan in October, but I am Australian. I don't speak Japanese (yet) or read Japanese (yet) so that makes life both interesting and exhausting.

I like comics (obviously, although I have my own online one), arts and crafts, travel, onsens, photography, reading, cooking, cycling, hiking (although I am not fit (yet) so gentle hikes and cycling to work at the moment), fashion, science fiction, fantasy, anime, and many things.

I have two dogs back in Aus, although I suppose they are *technically* family dogs, and they technically live with my parents.. I miss them though.

I kind of like the snow, although I almost broke my ankle today. Actually I saw snow for the first time Christmas Day less than a month ago. I would normally be at work this time, but I came home with bronchitus. oh well.

anyway, I look forward to meeting you all.
