A saying you will never find written in a book nor ever hear: "A haiku a day keeps the doctor away." Such isn't true for flu. But if haikus soothe your mind it helps to avoid the psychologist. Although it's not true for haikus containing quite disturbing content.

Smrw=i, smrw.t=i, Ꜥnḫ nfr. My friends (m.), my friends (f.), life is beautiful.

When word and art shall be combined in calligraphy you will find the result as reality. Although, it's different, you see, depending on the script that's used and what the calligrapher mused. The most extreme I've ever seen, from Arabia it had been: the Quran sura shape there shown as elephant...

@EOTFOFYL: I have wondered since the Ghost Story Thread was moved to Literature: The Haiku Thread, why is it under General although haiku are undoubtedly the best example we do have of literature found on MangaDex? Not to criticize, just as a simple question.

The sense of life does differ depending on the outlook you might have. According to the biology it is to survive long enough to leave descendants. It makes sense but for humans it isn't enough. Humans do wish for their immortality one way or another. The people of what we call Ancient Egypt...

Title: The Roggenmuhme took the girl - a nursery bogey ghost story from Germany Author: Albwin based on a folktale from Germany Story Number: 21

Perhaps something nice for thinking about the differences between us Westeners and the Easteners we so admire. This is the first half of a poem by Theodor Fontane (1819-1898). I will leave the title untranslated as it takes away the pointe before reading it but it is: Aber wir lassen es Andere...

@DANDAN_THE_DANDAN: I got an answer for your third question. Although, reading about how you spent your holiday I don't know if it will really help you. When I still was an university student, no matter how much I didn't like some subject, I always tended to work on it as soon as possible or...

It's a rainy day. Tear-like rain drops sparkle on my brand-new glasses. I cry all the same, being able to see well after such long time. The summer rain drops, are they tears heaven spills from sharing my great joy?

@Teasday: As mentioned above I defined werewolf for the manga list as "humans turning into wolves or wolves turning into humans", meaning that no kemonomimi without the ability to turn appear listed while there admittedly also are manga with kemonomimi appearing as werewolves at the same time...

@Teasday: Seeing as you are the one who implemented the Mafia tag a month ago according to the "Add Mafia theme?" thread, I wondered if I could ask you to do the same with "Werewoves"? After my initial suggestion Plykiya had asked me to compile a list of manga that would get this tag so as to...

@EOTFOFYL: Do you talk about introducing your "Title - Author - Story Number" as standard? Anyways, it's fine with me. I will adapt my older stories accordingly. Already done. I think it would be only consequent if you would do the same , considering you suggested this, even if likely based on...

Title: The Boo Hag in his bed - a ghost story from the United States Author: Albwin based on a folktale from the USA Story Number: 15

Well, the list I compiled as requested is long since standing but who do I have to ask so the tag might finally be implemented? I believe the number of possible entries doesn't lack in any way. After all it is the very tag I felt to be lacking the most ever since I started reading on MangaDex...

Hello, I have repeatedly witnessed in the last days that older chapters tend to load very slowly, longstrips especially so, and didn't think anything about it as it got once explained that rarely read older chapters might take some time. But now this case occurs with a longstrip chapter that is...

Who the authors are that influenced my writing style? That depends on when I am writing and what I am writing. I am really an avid reader, and manga or light novels are only a small part of what I am reading. There also are historical novels and Fantasy novels from Western authors, classic...
