Chiyo: "You can't say that!"
Yukari: "Osaka you little...

>>196073
Yeah, They can't wear yukata by themselves.
Except Chiyo and Sakaki.
So on.

>>196311

Big breasts!?
Glasses!?
Little girls!?
3.
Cat ears and airheadedness.
4.
You win.

>>196311,>>196311
Yeah, I'll go with that.

Started doing this a few hours ago, then got interrupted for a few hours...

Title: Gap

1
O1: Chiyo, I think I'm gonna aim for bein' all gap-moe!

C: Moe?

O2: It ain't like I'm lackin' for 'em.

2
O1: It's like, yer tiny but smart, right, Chiyo?

C: Oh, not really.

O2: Yomi's all candid but has a ladylike side.

3
O: An' Tomo is...

4
O: Tomo is Tomo!!

Title: That Sort

1
T: And Osaka is Osaka!!

O: Tomo!!

2
T: We're one-of-a-kind and number one...

O: Yeah! Everyone's life is worth somethin'!

3
T: No life in this world is useless!

FX: Spin spin

O: There ain't a life in this world you wouldn't mind seeing gone!

4
O/T: That kinda moe!!

FX: Uh...

Y: What kind of moe is that?

>>196612
What is "Gap" moe?

>>196614
From context, I'm guessing it's generating moe feelings by having some heavily contrasting aspects of one's appearance and/or personality, with enough of a "gap" between reality and what's expected that it creates a cognitive dissonance. Chiyo looks like a grade-schooler, but is as smart as (or smarter than) a high-schooler. Yomi looks all proper, but has this brusque aspect to her. That's what I get from Osaka's description, anyway.

>>196614

>>196618
Oh, now I get it.

Y: Huh?

Title: Yearning

1
O: My eyes are fine, so I don't wear no glasses.

O2: I'd like to wear 'em once.

2
O: GLASSES-GIRL MOE-E-E!!

O: That's what I wanna hear someone say t' me.

Which is better?
Osaka with cat ears, or Osaka with dog ears?

>>197540
Osaka with human ears.

>>197540
wan wan

>>197542
That's a lie! Osaka has no ears in her human form!

>>197544
Hell, half the time, she has no nose.

>>197544

Actually, as frightening as the concept seems, she does...

>>197542 What's wrong with you?

>>197569
I don't see the appeal of animal ears. Never have, never will.

VC: loll

>>197540

ears, shmears! I just wanna run my hands over that soft fluffy tail!

... don't judge me, you have no right to judge me...

>>197612

Yes we do. The thing is, I won't.

.....

>>197756
Oh god, it's trying to escape!

>>197756

This is probably incorrect, but I think that says: "mugiyun", which translates into "stock wheat".

>>197828
That's a small yu, isn't it? So it'd be "mugyu~" I think, not that I'd know what that meant.

>>197838
Yeah, I guess. But then again, I don't know that much about the Japanese language. I'm also trying to translate >>197749, but I can't find out what the character between the "あ" and the "へ" is. So far, I know it says "Chiyo-chan, Chiyo-chan, anpan or opium?"

>>197840
I don't know all that much either - I have a handy-dandy kana cheat sheet next to my computer :)

>>197840
It's ら
On related note I found out that practicing hand-writing of kana and kanji greatly improved my recognition of the characters in various forms and fonts.

>>197842
Same here. I got the Hiragana page on Wikipedia on one of my tabs. 8D

>>197847
Wait, it was "ra" all along?? Gosh, damnit. >=/

>>197838
Yeah, it's "mugyuu" (the symbol at the end is a ~, not a ん). It's just the sound of her squishing up against the glass.

Back when I was first learning my kana, someone on this board created and posted this game, which I found entertaining and moderately useful. The only difficulty I had was that the き and さ were drawn with a disconnect on the curved part, which I wasn't used to seeing. It also includes the archaic letters like ヰ/ゐ(wi) and ヱ/ゑ(we) which aren't in use anymore.

The "game1.mp3" is the music that originally came with the game, but I took one of the OST tracks and looped it as "game.mp3". You can use any music you want though, just so long as it's in that folder with the file name "game.mp3."

>>197854
Aha.

I love this image in the dream episode. Osaka with a cutout Mt Fuji strapped to her back :)

>>197854
Ye gods, I got it right! Maybe I'm finally getting the hang of the kana. Thanks for the game, something I'll try this weekend.

>>197685
Now the only one missing is Chiyo.

>>197677

.....

>>198019

Again, this is probably incorrect, but...

"Year and what's a lot! Brushwood'll regret!"

>>198026
That's pretty good. Maybe you can translate the next chapter when it comes out.

>>198029

Aha, thanks. But using Wikipedia's hiragana page and Google Translate for that'll be pretty hard, though. But I'll improve! Gonna take Japanese this coming school year.

>>198030
If you need any pointers just ask us. I got only as far as JPN 2, but I've been studying on my own for a couple years now.
Just be cautious of the Narutomaniacs in the classroom. They'll eventually drop the course when midterms start, so just hang in there.

>>198030
BTW, I would go ahead and download IME Japanese from the Microsoft d/l page. It enables you to write in hira and kana on most documents. Most of my peers didn't know about that.

>>198026
This guide to common Kansai-ben words and phrases should come in useful.
http://www.nihongoresources.com/language/dialects/kansaiben/wordlist.html

I'm having trouble figuring out what she's saying here. I know all the words, but I'm not sure what the meaning is. If I had to guess I'd say it's something like "What!? I hit it! Really!!"

>>198031
>>198032
>>198034

Thanks. And yeah, I'm well aware of all the Narutards out there. In my first year of high school, I wasn't that surprised to see someone with a picture of Sasuke and Sakura taped to their messenger bag.

>>198030 I wish they had a japanese class at the high school I went to.

Title: "Naaa~ nanana na-na-na"

Translation: "I can get a big haul with this one!"

>>198114
That's a Katamari from the video game of the same name, and the "na na naa" is part of the theme song:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BlZWuJHgEw

>>197854
There's also this site - http://www.readthekanji.com/
for both kana and kanji.

>>198118 Yes, yes, we all know about katamari damacy.

Kyoto.....?

I didn't need to know osaka had a uvula

>>198218

Lend her your shoe, and you'll find out she has all sorts of things.

>>198227
This is a left foot shoe, too, the one she kicks off.

>>198198
Osaka: "Oh yeah! We're goin' to Kyoto!"
Tomo: "Idiot! You're supposed to say 'Osaka'!"

I don't get it.

>>198227
Is that a reference to Azumanga Remake?

>>198246
Why I do believe it is.

>>198244
I'm wondering if Tomo feels Osaka messed up making a joke on her own nickname.

>>198198

>>198266
Okay, I get that she's referencing a travel ad, but I still don't really understand why Tomo wanted her to say Osaka instead.

>>198281
My guess is because they're so close together on the Bullet Train line, Tomo's complaining that Osaka didn't take the opportunity to say Osaka instead of Kyoto. Kind of lame, but it's all I can think of.

I think it's sweet that Osaka can be had for one shoe, although I can't help but feel jealous towards the first guy to discover that.

>>198291
Osaka seems to have the same mindset that many socially awkward guys have in that "That person did something nice" = "That person is into me"

>>198294
he did ask her to be his girlfriend

This has inspired me to read Remake again.

This sounds like a disgusting idea for a festival theme...

>>198317 I never got why she said "Cum snacks".

Was this a typo, or do they really have those?

>>198318
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/cum

See the first definition.

>>198320

>–preposition
>with; combined with; along with (usually used in combination): My garage-cum-workshop is well equipped

"My garage-cum-workshop is well equipped"

Is your garage-cum-workshop is well equipped?

>>198318
It's like graduating "Cum Laude" (latin for 'with honors').
Although outside of the context of "Cum Laude" or "Magna Cum Laude," etc., it's really bizarre to use that word in that sense.

>>198326
agreed, especially because they use it to mean semen repeatedly in the rest of the comic

Remake is kind of extremely adorable for something that includes anal

It's a strange doujinshi and the translation's a little strange-sounding, but Osaka is a strange girl, so I guess it's all good. What did she mean, though, by "just like Kimura-sensei"?

By the way, I was reading in the L.A. Times yesterday about how hard it is to fire teachers with tenure, and they mentioned one case of a high school girls' swim coach who was always making suggestive remarks but kept his job. So maybe the secret to Kimura's success is a strong union.

>>198356
It's easier and cheaper to keep incompetent teachers than to fire them. All thanks to the Teacher's Union - part of the reason why the public school system in America is a goddamn joke.

>>198356
She meant he's a pervert, just like Mr. Kimura (for trying to have sex with her on the roof with their clothes on).
