So writing bad novels helps one meet high school girls? Neat!

From terrifying stories of Devil K, to cellphone novels---Something just seems weird about the transition.

I find it odd that most people can't read (or maybe it was just Keita) vertical Japanese. But... aren't the manga written like that? XD

You're not alone. I can never understand what are the Japanese supposed to read their language in a horizontal way or even vertical from right-to-left.

*Sigh*, I guess we will never know.

Actually they couldn't read the literary master's works because it uses kanji or Chinese characters, which are hard to pronounce and completely based on memorization of hard complicated characters. This might be an interesting article if you want to read about the decline in kanji in Japanese society http://itre.cis.upenn.edu/~myl/language ... 03962.html

It's actually kind of easy to tell when something is left to right or up to down. If the words are lined up horizontally, then you read across left to right like in Western text.

If the long side is vertical, then you read it vertically up to down. This would be done right to left, one column at a time.

While I'm at it, when you read manga or comics (like the Kiva or Go-Onger ones) you read those typically top-down, right-left order

Ah, if only it would go to Hiragana/Katakana only... then I could read most of the stuff I see. XD

But it's no wonder. @_@ I mean over 1900 Kanji? DAYUM

An okay episode, it was nice seeing Keita finally admit that 07 is his friend, even if he doesn't treat him all that fairly, also the scene at the end with the novelist sitting in with the girls and acting like one of them was a real turn around from how he was acting before just felt a little weird that all of a sudden he's into cell novels and is totally friends with the girls.

wait... if he doesn't get paided... then in the last episode, when his wages (which we now know is none) were cut in half, it means now he receives half of 0 doesn't it?


They're dividing by zero!

Whoa, hold on there, professor

0 / 2 != 2 / 0

Something's kind of upside down in your equation XD

Ah, good, I was worried there for a second. And sorry, I tend to see reality ripping equations everywhere I turn now-a-days.

Oh no! Keitai 7's thread has been invaded by Sho 'Pi-Face' Minamimoto!

(If you don't know who 'Pi-Face' is, then play The World Ends With You...you'll understand one day...)
