Webster Would Be Ashamed

Really now, is that necessary? Is ordained that complicated of a word, and if it is than why use it in the first place? I’m a generally patient guy when it comes to fansubs and their problems, but I just have to shake my head at this.

Mahoraba: End

Posted by Demian @ 10:53 am, June 30th, 2008

Finally my journey with Mahoraba ends as the final chapters of the manga are translated. I would like to thank Hyioko no Gao for all their work on the project. Despite the lengths of time I’m glad they completed it. To me, Mahoraba, both anime and manga, is one of the underrated gems of the last decade. Before the slice-of-life staples of ARIA and Hidamari Sketch, there was Mahoraba: a charming story of very different individuals living together. Often humorous and sometimes bittersweet, it’s truly a work to remember. I’m sad to see it end, but the final chapter is just so like Mahoraba that I can’t help but enjoy it anyways. Like the characters themselves, I’m glad all my times at Narutakisou were happy ones.
