Bibliography

[Elagune]

Oh, you guys found that? Nice work. One Piece is my favourite manga.

Easter eggs are awesome. There are three in there so far: Pikachu, Ace, and one more that nobody's found. See if you guys can find it. The manga that it's from isn't as well-known as some others, though, so it might take a while.

Anyway, I know I said it was going to be weekly, but this week has been pretty hectic for me, and I'm not sure I can keep up this schedule. Maybe once every two weeks, since that'll be around a page a day. It'd be much easier on me.

I'll try to get this chapter out soon.

I just got a SC2 beta key recently, which may have contributed to the delay.

EDIT: If you guys noticed, the Whitebeard Pir at the bottom of the matchbox was supposed to say Whitebeard Pirates, Inc. but it got cut off. Oh well.

[Tulio d Bard]

Isn't Evrae that FFX's boss? It would be funny, since he said it was "for the science project".

[Elagune]

Chapter done and sent in. Wonder when the guy will be putting it up.

[Elagune]

Man, I really don't like double-posting but what can you do.

For practice, I've done a coloured picture of Eve. It was supposed to be the title page for the next chapter, but I decided it was a little too great not to be coloured. So here you go.

Looks awesome!

Huh... for some reason I pictured her a red head. Don't know why though...>.>

I'll up you one on that; I thought she'd have pink hair for some reason.

[Lix Lorn]

I hadn't thought of it, but pink sounds pretty good to me. XD Oh well.

i was thinking a light brownish-pink =/

[Sanguine]

I guess I'm the odd one out as I pictured it nearly exactly the same color Elagune colored it. Although in my imagination it was a darker shade of blond.

[Tulio d Bard]

Nice picture. And look! There's a Ben one too!

[Cizak]

Well ehre's the thing about manga: When it's in black and white, you almost never guess the correct hair colour. When I first read One Piece and saw Zoro, i pictured him blond. Turns out he had green hair

[Lix Lorn]

Hehs. XD
When I read the Sailor Moon manga... I didn't think about hair. XD

Nope, same here.

Elagune, I think we're missing a page on chapter 4. Page 10 is the same as Page 11, I think Page 11 is missing. Can you check, and if so, inform gaijinmanga?

And a climactic page, no less.

"Why am I so off-panel?"

And indeed, the final panel seems to be a repeat of the penultimate one. Or is it actually the ultimate one that has accidently been repeated?

[Elagune]

Thanks for catching it guys.

I'll send a message to the guy about it, and I'll post up the page here until they fix it, I guess. Kind of a buzzkill, since it's probably the most important page in the chapter.

EDIT: Do any of you have ideas on how to increase my audience? Right now the only ones who know about Bibliography are the people reading this thread and those who already go to Gaijinmanga.com (which honestly probably isn't much).

Sweet Philosorapter, it's a Title Drop.

Publicity, eh? Let me think....

"Oh! Let me answer this!"

Huh? Anubis? How the hell did you get in this thre--

"Okay, first you're going to need the complete Discworld collection. Then, you'll need some cheese, a goat, Poland's entire supply of astro-biologists, and Faust. Then you--"

Anubis, shut up! Okay, anyway, you could try a bit easier and post it in other forums. Or possible another form of passing the word on.

Totally. Called. It. Ben's going to be a Librarian.

As for Publicity, you could throw up a page in the Troper Tales section for Bibliography.

Well, a Librarian might not be a page. But that's just a guess.

And that's an even better idea, actually.

Read the parenthesis, I assumed Page because that was all that was shown (chapter 2 remember), but I did point out that there could be something that fought pages on equal footing which Ben also might become. Though apparently a Librarian is much stronger than a Page given the interaction between the current pages and the Twilight Beast "fallen" page.

[Gez]

Typo on page 5: "I'm joing in".

[Silverraptor]

I like the punchline in the last panel.

[BRC]

Pages are bound to a single Codex. You know, like a Page is only ever in one book. Librarians seem to be able to use abilities from any Codex.

[Tavar]

Are we sure that he's a Librarian, though? He they only refer to him in that with a "whitebox weapon" they may not need a librarian. And it seems to me that perhaps Librarians are more like a specialist, abbysal hunting organization, perhaps something like the Wyld Hunt's Immaculate order in exalted.

[Lix Lorn]

Holy Flying Cantaloupe, that was awesome. ._.

[Tono]

Question, and this may be answered later on, but is Ben limited to how many times he can use the borrowed techniques? I may have just been seeing things but it seemed to me that a 5(or so) slot thing went down when he used the skill.

[Jokasti]

Sweet Baby Jesus, best chapter yet!
And he naturally has the coolest abilities!
More Exclamation Points!!!
What about dictionaries and thesauri?

[Tulio d Bard]

Oh man, great chapter!
And you know, talking is a free action.
