@foolserenade Also I think a lot of characters are better portrayed in the novel - like Perez. My favorite character at the end aside from Tia was Clerivan. He and Tia were a total powerhouse duo.
@foolserenade I'm with you. It was probably the 20th or 30th rofan I've read but it's at the top of my list. I think truly what it boils down to is how much romance you want in your story. I think Tia's familial relationship far outshines the romance and that could be a large con for some.
@colleensmanga There are a lot of things I would call stupid back at big industry people. Tbh I just enjoy the fact that someone is out there championing shoujo. That alone is a big boost for the demographic no matter what naysayers say.
@thehorsecharles Per my personal bias, Seven Seas gets a huge pass for picking up Twelve Kingdoms. Iβve been wanting this for years π One more rescued Tokyopop license!
@colleensmanga At least you wonβt find this issue with MyAnimeList. Would love to see these same people try to argue with those moderators who actually understand the culture π
@colleensmanga Not sure where they get off saying itβs βnot meaningfully definingβ. Everyone from the publisher to the artist to the readers would completely disagree with that uneducated opinion.
@colleensmanga Adjacent thought: Modern novel publishing is paid for by whale books that provide money for publishers to take chances on new books editors believe the world needs. All Iβm seeing from certain manga publishers is that they donβt believe in having more womenβs content.
No but if you go in standard order it makes so much sense ππππ Onew, Taemin, Jonghyun, Minho, Key. Come back to me after youβve thought about it.
