Greetings, I was too tired to say the obvious that I was too tired to make a drawing myself, so I used a scan of Gunnm Last Order 3 by Yukito Kishiro. I have two copies of this graphic novel. I like Gunnm so much, I'm reading the Japanese version. It's not easy, but the first two were pretty easy, since the English translation is on the web. The latter two I have had to piece together. I'm working on translating them both, but it is very hard. You see, the kanji is not down-translated into hiragana in Gunnm. This is because the target audience is Japanese young adults who know kanji very well. I am an American young adult who knows ~40 of the most basic kanji by heart. The rest, I just think of context and look at pictures. I could possibly get the English translation of "Battle Angel Alita Last Order" which Viz has so generously provided, but I'm a bit cheap. I may get a few of the comics, but not all.
Today I did two useful things. Neither see results today or likely even a few days. But I'm starting up a very good (and hopefully productive) few weeks.
