Inspired by the already existing Haiku Thread I decided to bring another Japanese tradition to MangaDex, the Collection of One Hundred Ghost Stories or rather Supernatural Stories. This is a Japanese tradition that came out of use after the Edo Period but is interesting nonetheless. So...

Quiero escribir Haiku in vielen Sprachen. J'ai fait que j'ai dit. Just a little test, multiligually and just done for some fun. "I want to write" the first line says in Spanish starting the haiku. Next German: "Haiku in many languages." It's the central message. French to end it all. "I have...

Haiku creation can become addicting when you write them daily. In some aspects though rhyming remains easier. Both meddles your brain. Don't overdo it lest you start thinking always in haiku or rhymes. @EOTFOFYL: Having written some I now can understand why you started this thread.

Imagine the shock! Another new site unasked to me just appeared. Virus warning shown, all in all quite dubious. Thus I closed it fast. Now the virus scan is running on my PC. Hopefully all well. The second scan though. The first said all was OK, but sure to be sure.

Manga reader sites lack only this one thing: no ink and paper scent.

@ABCsOfLife Traditional mythology is even crazier. In some traditional vampire myths the deceased husband comes to rape his own wife (rather a reason for necrophobia than necrophilia if you ask me), begetting a child that is born without even a single bone in its body. Compared to living out...

Allow me to tell you a curious thing you wouldn't ever know since only the ones affected themselves would tend to realize this. If you are sitting in a wheelchair and you do drive with it yourself instead of simply being pushed by a helper, you use the hand rims attached to the wheels. But...

Dark is the night now. Tiredness weighs down on me. My bed is calling.

I have taken on myself the challenge to write a haiku story. All syllables fit. If something should be off, the only thing to blame is my incorrect pronunciation of words. But as I am no native in either please be merciful and please enjoy the story: Once upon a time there had been a dragon...

@Plonz. It is my bad, as you were in the right. My haiku thus lacks. I will change it soon Wrong things shouldn't remain. Look again if you like. @EOTFOFYL I wish to thank you as well. Now I know better.

@plonz Do you see? The first line had five vowels: Sum-mer e-ve-ning. Another mistake, for that are syllables, but it was no lie though.

Evening in summer. The beautiful sky looks like old papyrus scrolls.

@Markgraf once decided to make his username a reality(?), set up an imaginary country in a dream and took control of the border regions following the new king's edict, thus ending up a margrave (German: Markgraf) for many years. History ultimately knows of him him as the margrave who didn't even...

My username was something I chose with the fact in mind that I am both a fan of mythology and history and have a particular fondness for manga with mythological themes. Thus I came up with "Albwin", an Old High German name with the meaning of "elf friend" that came out of use sometime during the...

I assent with @BirchJuice. Regarding non-Eastern comics I personally believe that nothing beats Asterix. I love the series's unmistakable humor and its unique characters. But nothing compares to the authors featuring countless cultures from Antiquity in a delightfully caricatural way while...

@RedInACup That's (kara)kasa-(o)bake, a kind of umbrella tsukumogami.

If I would know how to link chapters, I would, but since I don't let me describe in words. Yesterday the most slow loading chapters were those from the manga "Mein Ritter ~Watashi no Kishi~", mostly those which were one year old but also some of those which were some months newer, although it...

Hello, I have now witnessed for several days that especially older chapters are loading very slowly, color pages and double pages particularly so. But even with black/white chapters it may take up to ten or more seconds for a page to load, at average occuring about every third page if not even...

The problem was concerning page width, but if that has nothing to do with the reader, then that's that. Greetings, Albwin
