F.A.Q means "Frequently Asked Questions". Actually I don't get too many emails questions concerning thise site, tho it's one of my most visited at the moment. Still, I get some question from time to time and to save you from writing me emails (tho I like getting your mails!) and me from answering the same questions over and over again, here are things people asked me from time to time.
Where can I buy Shoujo manga?
Please check out my "Where to buy?"- Guide, for adresses and tipps.
How long does it take to update this site, especially how long does it take you to summarize the newest Manga?
I do know that there are many webmaster who do there stuff as soon as possible and are really quick. Thos people are my idols XD. I normally get Manga one months or 1,5 months after they have been published, simply because I always wait for 3 or 4 Manga to be published and shipped together, as this is cheaper for me. When I get the Manga I don't turn into a work-a-holic, it usally takes me 2 weeks to get my ass in front of the PC and write the summaries and scan (the worst part!), so all together, I would say it takes me about 2 months ^^"
You said you are reading more series. So why don't you summarize them?
Because I see no sense in summarizing for example Hot Gimmick, when there are already great description available. Some Manga (just as "Life") already count too many tankoubon and I don't have enough time to translate all the volumes up to the current one.
Can you speak/ read Japanese?
Well, you know, I can't , I just look at those strange signs and then I write anything just for fun... >_> Maaaan, yes I do speak Japanese (at least some), otherwise why should I make this site. I really got this question and it makes me freak out the most. However, I'm not professional, I summarize from my knowledge of 2 years at an evening school, my Japanese friends and my best male friend who's half-japanese, my stay in Japan, my self studies at home and especially from my experiences as a Shoujo Manga fan.
Do you also translate (doing scripts)?
Hmmm, yes I do. As of August 03, I translate Othello for my own site and I'm doing Shoujo stories for a group. I'm also translating from current Shocomi issues in exchange for the scans, since I can't get a subscription where I live (tho I wouldn't buy Shocomi anyway...^^"). I like translating a lot, but I don't think I want to translate for other people at the moment, so now I don't consider doing new projects unless you have a real cute, innocent stories with a magnificent artstyle (and I'm darn picky and I don't ranslate from Hana to Yume and Ribon).
Can I take your pictures for my page?
What for, the quality of them sucks badly. But well, I haven't drawn those Manga, so I'm okay with you taking a couple of pictures, but you must give copyright to the Mangaka and credit me^^.
