Naruto Transparent PNG
Another Naruto transparent PNG was added to the database.
I haven't been paying enough attention to this web site recently. Last week, we celebrated my brother's birthday. After that, I was busy working on this online project and then I got hooked on reading manga. I have copies of Saiyuki, Mars, Naruto, Kare Kano, etc all over my room. I have random volumes of each. I'd like to have the complete volumes but it's so hard finding copies of them where I'm from and when I do find them, they're pretty expensive. I recently bought 3 volumes of Tramps Like Us in Amazon and I'm now broke. Shipping is a killer! I have to pay shipping for each item I buy. $11.98 to ship one small book is too much!
Anyways, from all that reading, I'm not particularly fond of Viz Media. Although they translate almost all the Japanese characters, they "Americanize" the dialogue too much (imagining a Japanese Naruto saying "Psych!" is giving me nightmares
). I like how Tokyopop and DelRey Manga translated the manga to English but sometimes, there are still Japanese characters left over and they don't provide a translation so it's kind of hard to relate. Example: Kare Kano vol. 9 page 22 panel 2.
Ok. That's enough of my blabbering for now. My host has been having problems recently so you might have noticed downtimes and slow loading. I hope it gets resolved soon. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
