    That’s wonderful, but why the essential body parts aren’t mentioned anywhere? You’re supposed to use gestures or something for that? 🙂

    Hah, nice! This shows how well anime works. Despite being an early stages Heisig noob, the kanji in the first line was somehow recognisable from デスノート and ブリーチ 🙂

    Khatz, thanks for these phrases. It appears some of them are untranslated, such as this one:

    あんた、彼と寝てんの?
    Are you neteru with him?

    Good stuff. I’ve always wanted to express a thought like “live long and prosper” in Japanese, So I think I’ll try the [死ね!] the next time someone does something nice for me 😉

    I can just imagine someone smiling and saying 死ね to some shopkeeper on their way out the door after reading this.

    「おい、ブス!飯食いに行こうぜ。」

    You’re a terrible person, making me laugh at something so mean.

    I laughed too much that I forgot to facepalm. Oh you, sowing chaos xD.

    Fair warning to those who don’t know Japanese: Khatz is joking. SRSLY. Check it out on Google translate or wherever. Some of these could earn you a slap, hahaha.
