Bibliography II

[Fayd]

You know the saying, 'don't go to work on an empty stomach'? Turns out it's triple true if you work at a grocery store.

This is very true. I know from experience. It might even be quadruple true.

As far as published Bibliography goes... I'm just a little leery of gaijinmanga. I would prefer if Elagune went with a bigger publishing company, to be honest. This is mostly because I don't know the company well. What's the quality of their printed work like? How fair are their contracts? How do they handle intellectual property?

I suppose I'm probably just overcautious and everything probably will turn out just fine, but part of me has to ask.

It's quintuple true, actually. Especially if the food they have you sack is the stuff you know's waiting for you at home to be eaten at 11pm

I just thought the remaining double was because it was late at night.

Big companies don't get big by being perfectly loverly towards the guys who make their stuff, they get big by making it look pretty to those who buy them. They can afford a failure here or there.

Gaijin may be a fairly small publisher but it's definitely in their best interest to get this done right. That way they have something in their portfolio when they want to get more manga than bibliography into print.

Yeah... I worked in produce for a while and would often be next to the deli... where they're cooking things.

That is a point. A very good point, in fact. I'm not meaning to say that Gaijin would be a bad choice, though my original statement does look like that. (Note to self: don't post when tired.) I simply want to be the voice of caution... to read every agreement carefully (and if possible, with a lawyer) for the sake of keeping Elagune's interests protected.

Again, I realize that I'm probably being overcautious. But someone has to be.

[GaijinMangaRep]

@Fayd: I don't blame you for being skeptical. We're a pretty small business, and publishing Bibliography would be the first time we attempt something like this, so we are pretty new. HalfTangible is certainly right...us at GaijinManga certainly want to make sure this goes well.

However, we are confident that we can pull this off. And we certainly would not be able to do this if we weren't fans of Bibliography ourselves.

Sure you could. You just wouldn't like it or consider it a good idea.

[Maximum Zersk]

Well, I'd buy it! AND I have the ability to do so now!

[Viera Champion]

Ah yes, I forgot. This is the internet. 20 here is like 60 irl.


Eve's nonchalant "oh yeah, I'm signing you up" made me smile. Fun update.

You have that backwards.

Dude, this guy is hard to draw.

Oh well, he looks cool, so it's okay.

[Lix Lorn]

'The bomber to my fighter jet.' I love that. XD

[Creed]

'Cause you're the bomber to my fighter jet, duh.'
That line kinda makes Charlie sound kinda little itty bit gay.
'Why am I always involved in your shenanigans?"
What OTHER shenanigans has the Bomber to his fighter jet been dragged into?!

[John Cribati]

Yay Charlie's back and he's... sort of gay, apparently.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
And I was about to start shipping Charlie/Opal, too


I have to admit, his face looks sort of off in the fourth panel.

Never enter a High School, ever!

If that is sort of gay then the average male High School student is certifiable gay.

Which is statistically impossible.

Then again, Charlie seems a lot more sober than the average High School student

[Yorrin]

That isn't gay at all. I say stuff like that to my friends all the time, and I'm certainly straight.

I'm loving the whole wings aesthetic on Charlie. Antagonists/Protagonists with wings are always more compelling to me for some reason.

Do we know what codex Scorpio is in? I wanna know why he's called "bomber."

Well, with a face reduced to two eyes and given the way his stinger-like thing (hairstyle? actual stinger?) is placed, he does look like this:

Huh. My first thought was 'black mage' but whatever floats your boat =P

[licoot]

Those last four comics are awesome, I missed them because I was away lat week

Let's just hope, he will never lose one his wings.

I liked the use of british slang. Its just so fitting for an avian page to use

British slang?

[Gez]

British slang?

"Bird" for "girl"?

[Prime32]

"Bird" for "girl"?

It was kind of overshadowed by all the references to aircraft.

[licoot]

"Bird" for "girl"?

wait, that's British slang

I'm British and it always makes me laugh when people tag words as 'British slang', because even if I don't use them, I here people say them all the time and to me there just words

[HalfTangible]

I nearly had a heart attack when i found out 'ain't' ain't a word.

I thought it aviation slang myself.

Then again, I tend to delve into obscure and sesquipedalian mockeries of British and/or seventies slang so I might be worse off than you, laddie

Any ideas on what Satomi's whitebox weapon will be? I'll have to guess that it'll be somethign that turns her into a ninja. She seems to be the type for that.

Maybe Elagune originally planned that but will make her a pirate just to screw with you.

Oooh! wait! Cowgirl! With a .45 magnum and a white hat that is the actual weapon, allowing the user to switch their weapon whenever. Or something stupid like that! =D why does that sound familiar?

[ninja_penguin]

Scorpio is clearly from the snifit codex.

That said, he was mentioning about all the scent in the air, so who knows. I think he's just hiding for a reveal later.

...that would be awesome. Adding kunoichi never makes things worse.

Plus it could include a mask or something so they don't realise who she is.

I took the line more as an explanation of powers/fighting styles. Charlie is more of a 1v1 kinda guy (Fighter Jet Dog fights) while his friend is the powerful multi-target fighter, but is weaker (a quintessential glass cannon).

Am i the only one still seeing 8BT parallels here?
