I AM THE 00.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001%

Incidentally, wasn't there a poll some years ago asking "How many people on /azu/ are female"? Back then, there was a decent handful of responses, but mostly from self-professed lurkers, iirc...

<-- Of course, everyone knows that it doesn't matter, the gay/lesbian agenda is destroying the family as we know it.

(Seriously, though, I like seeing the variety of pairings on /azu/, whether straight, dude gay, or lady gay. I don't like all of them, but I can't think of any other frequently-updated dedicated fan site where it's not only easy to scroll past what you don't want to see, but you can go ahead and post anything as long as it's sfw and related without having to slap on a million apologies for doing so and really get only 3 people complaining that they can't wank to it. So thanks, Ralen [and majority of /azu/].)

>>219151

I am also the 00.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001%, and I wank to the gay. ALL OF IT. Thank you Ralen as well!

>>219142

I have a problem with it, but that IS probably just me.

ralen show your penis

>>219156
Fascinating.
What problem do you have with it? I'm genuinely curious.

>>219158
Why?

>>219159
cuz im horny. and i said so

>>219159
maybe he thinks you are a girl, ehehee

>>219162
Sometimes I wish I was...

>>219163
You can at least dress like one.
vc: fame

>>219163
you DO???? Very interestin'... tell us moar!?

The makeup on Yots is kind of jarring here, though...

another yan/yots

kind of tough to cosplay anyone recognizably in yotsuba other than yots and probably yanda without a group or a lot of props

case in point

All I've got is this one from the original magazine release.

I think I actually have >>219168
If that was part of that set where you had to mail in a postcard so you could get it in the mail then I just might. Just to find it...

@nemutagirl has her twitter page blocked, so I can't see what Azuma's responding to.

@azumakiyohiko
If it makes you feel better, you can just think of zenzai as a healthy, low calorie snack. In fact, if you're going to go that far, you can just think of it as a no calorie snack. It's just bean soup.

I'm going to drop by the Kadokawa New Year's party today.
4:39 PM Jan 26th via web

@azumakiyohiko
Tweeting from the Kadokawa party hall. There's so many manga artists here.
6:12 PM Jan 26th via Echofon

@akiman7 is Akira Yasuda. His tweets are the longest run-on sentences I've ever seen.
The Sadamoto Azuma mentions may be Yoshiyuki Sadamoto.

They must have met at the Kadokawa New Year's Party Azuma was talking about.

@akiman7
I think the person I just saw was that guy Kiyohiko Azuma, but it might be a different one, I looked him up when I got home and saw that he's the guy behind Azumanga, so after I read Azumanga, I decided to follow him, but I could be mistaken.
6:39 PM ついっぷる/twipple

@azumakiyohiko
@akiman7 You're not mistaken. The Azuma who was next to Mr. Sadamoto the other day was me, the guy who drew Azumanga. I had no idea you had read it.

I wonder if the guy behind Pretty Neighbor has ever talked to Azuma. Could only imagine how their conversation would go..

>>219064
That's like asking if you have every met Ralen. We all want to but we go to different Anime cons..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoXrd3_3fYI

>>219064
i'd hope he'd give him a serious browbeating for making koiwai a scumbag >:(

>>219060
oh shit, that's akiman, the character designer for street fighter 2 and final fight, among others. that party sounds like some kind of mangaka valhalla.

>>219070
Well, I don't even go to anime cons, so...

>>219077
You should come to Anime Expo in Downtown L.A. (4th July weekend). There's a Hooters across the street if it gets too much for you.

@azumakiyohiko
I mistakenly ate my eho-maki yesterday. Is that okay? I also forgot to face in the lucky direction.
9:22 PM Feb 3rd via Echofon

Does anyone know how the year's lucky direction is determined? All I can find is that it's dependent on the zodiac animal, but I can't find anything that indicates which animal is which direction.

>>219160
Giving a meaning to direction is commonly due to Yin-and-Yang theory.
I'm also not sure how the system works.

How did Jumbo get so short and scrawny, though? Alternatively, why and how did Kimura leave his family, build muscle and grow a few feet taller?

>>219148
Well Jumbo is obviously several years younger than Kimura. So if Azumanga takes place years after Yotsubato, it just means Jumbo met a woman, got married, and had a kid.

It doesn't explain how he shrunk though. Maybe he lost his shins in a freak accident.

>>219147
If I had to guess, he lost his shins in an epic sword duel with Tora over who gets Asagi. Jumbo wins but as he reaches down to help Tora up she slashes his shins, the blood lose knocks him into a coma for two months and when he recovers, Tora has already taken Asagi to live in Paris as stylish bohmians. Devestated after losing the love of his life and his characteristic height he starts trying to readjust to his new life and starts physical therapy. There he meets his future wife, a nurse who finds his handicap facinating, the rest you could say is history. (Pic related: another man who lost his shins and fell in love with a Japanese nurse)

Or he just has terrible osteoperosis.

Am I the only one that notice that Nano looks ALOT like Osaka? ;.;

>>217073
Yes. Yes you are.

Here is the first one by Hekiru Hikawa (Creator of PaniPoni)

translation would be nice indeed.

>>219124
I'd do it, but my Japanese really sucks.

2/16

The second comic by Masakazu Iwasaki (Creator of Kemeko Deluxe!)

>>219125
TO THE RALEN SIGNAL!!

>>219128
I'd do it, but I'm really busy with other translation projects. I might be able to squeeze them in over time, but my weeknights are mostly booked for the foreseeable future (unless of course a new Yotsuba chapter comes out, which obviously takes precedence).

For the record, I've translated the tribute comics by Aoki Ume, Barasui, Dowman Sayman, and Shinichi Yuhki.

>RALEN SIGNAL!!

I'd actually like to see a spotlight with a silhouette of Yanda spooning Koiwai with his hands going down his pants across the night sky.

>>219131

Wouldn't a more accurate Ralen signal be a loli?

Floor plan of the Koiwai home.

More blueprints.

>>219094 Enlarged bottom floor.

>>219094
Enlarged top floor.

now that we know the floor plan of his house, all we need to do is learn about his sexuality. Is he finally gonna tap Fuuka? Or does he really prefer Jumbo instead?

And is there gonna be a new Ichigo mashimaro this month?

>>219105
For the March issue (the one released at the end of January), no.

>>219135

Extreme Bubble Blowing?

>>219027

What happened to Yotsuba's arm? Will she have to attend Yamaku now?

Windowledge has been gone AWOL for a long while now. Unfortunately, I only have janitor powers :(

Windowledge is so cute. What other license plate could that be other than The Golden State?

>>219059
He just posted on his twitter account last week.
http://twitter.com/#!/kaigainonanashi

Dude (or dudette) seems to know Japanese more than any of us, so it's kind of funny that he talks to Azuma in English :o

I've relocated the gallery to a subgallery. Its permanent link is http://axypb.net/gallery/index.php?sfpg=d2luZG93LyoqNzFhMzhkNzVjM2Y5Y2NmZDEzYWRjNGIwZWZmOGJjY2Q

>>218628
must be Gregory or someone alike

You can ask a company to make a rubber stamp like that if you send them a file of the image you want to print.

best /azu/ christmas ever

>>217396

Hey Ralen, do you know the guy who makes these? I'd like to buy some, like the "No" stamp.

I just post these images as I find them on pixiv.
http://www.pixiv.net/member.php?id=1749837
Here's the guy's page.

>>218867

I'm not Ralen, but I can help you. All you need is to find a local shop which does trophies and awards. Look in your local phone book (or online equivalent). Those kinds of shops will have a laser engraver which can make custom rubber stamps from a simple computer image.
