Do you want dead download links fixed?

The old download links on Oron, Filesonic etc are dead.

Do you want them restored?

If so, tell me which ones by email, chatbox, comment or on E-Hentai.

Note that I will not reupload them without a request, there are too many.

Truth about fan scanlations

I want to talk about manga translations done by amateur translators.

Many manga (hentai or not) are very poorly translated from Japanese to English, because of lack of knowledge in Japanese or experience. Or maybe they are just trolls who do a bad job on purpose.

I recently came across a non-H manga translated to English, and is was full of mistakes. The problem is that the people who read them have no way to tell if the translation are accurate or not.

This is disappointing but I have no real way to fix this problem. People reading them are really missing out. I try to provide help on E-Hentai forums but only a few actually come for help.

And before you say that I'm a bad translator too, no I AM Japanese so I know what I'm doing. I have a JLPT1 (Japanese Language Proficiency Level 1). I wish more Japanese people would get involved in the translation scene but they lack the English skills required.

Twin tails

A twin tail is a hairstyle for girls where long hair is bunched into two and tied like ponytails.

Kagami from Lucky Star, Azusa from K-ON, Miku from Vocaloid and Rin from Fate series has this hairstyle. It is also commonly associated with tsundere.

One thing you might not know is the fact that this hairstyle (at least the name of it) originated from a kaiju (monster) from The Return of Ultraman (Kaettekita Ultraman).

The monster Twin Tail was a shrimp-like monster with two tails on top and its head at the bottom. It appeared in episode 5. Its weight was 15,000 tonnes and was 45 metres tall.
