Well, I certainly didn't expect this.... I thought that both the LDP and DPJ would lose, lose, lose a lot of seats to a third party, such as the Japan Communist Party: I really thought the JCP would sweep. Anyone who had taken even a quick look at what the…

There aren’t many things that make women happy,

Speak for yourself, Ms. Kurahana. Just because one apparently obsessive introvert says something ridiculous is no reason to think it's actually true.

bgaudry, I totally agree. Y2K, the imminent invasion of Japan by hooligans during the soccer world cup, the idea that bird flu might mutate into a supervirus and kill us all and now the same with swine flu- tell me about it when it happens. This kind of speculation comes…

How many children die in this manner each year?

While of course even one is too many, according to a post above yours, 10 since 2004, so it's not an epidemic- just a very few brainless parents.

I agree. Even if this woman was doing something way more anti-social than feeding cats, that is not the issue here. What gave this old geezer the idea that the best way to solve this problem was to start stabbing her with a knife? The mind just boggles at the…

Oh if only these gals knew how much hard work goes into making international relationships survive..is the author actually married to a foreigner,does anyone know?

Yes, Saori Oguri really is married to Tony Laszlo in real life, and those are their real names. The manga is basically semi-autobiographical.

Mai Inoue is a bit young to play Saori in my opinion, makes Tony look like a cradle snatcher. I'd like to see the movie but hope that Oguri and Laszlo have enough control to keep annoying stereotypical stuff out of the script. If it is true to the manga…
