It is, however, interesting that Genshiken carried on       the parody for several years. It's a KL is published by someone else and       not sure if it was popular as it tended to recycled the plots from the       original book.              I didn't recall the "waifu" thing until I re-read KL. It was a very small       part of KL. None of these were explained in the Japanese version of G and I       wonder if anyone reading G. actually got the reference (unless it was often       quoted on TV and other medias in Japan).              So what else are you reading, Bobbie? I got through Azumi II as the       complete series was available from SFPL. I also got most of Salaryman       Kintaro. It's a very crudely drawn and unrealistic portrayal of a Japanese       "salaryman" but it had its moments.              Ken              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
