*laughs* I'm reading [livejournal.com profile] ichi_san's french translation of this chapter, and so far, she's mentioned at least three times that it's a "très belle image". ^_^ I agree wholeheartedly, though, so mustn't tease too much. (*makes note to look up tease in French* se moquer de has a "too mean" feeling in my head... se plaisanter? *ponders*)

[edit: taquiner. *pleased*] Alors, ‹‹ je ne la taquine pas trop, car je suis complètement d'accord. ››

From the start, Kagura's image has made me sad. I've said in a couple of comments that I was never able to warm up to her, since she's barely been present since she stopped chasing after Kyo, and I could finally stop twitching. I figured out why. She's alone among strangers when it happens. Worse than being alone (like Hatori & Shigure), I think. *pets*

Datte datte ! TT_TT
Il fallait que je fasse partager mon émotion, à la vue de ces images, à la *France entière*, tu comprends ! XD (et puis pour les pauvres malheureux qui n'auraient pas vu ces scans - les pauvres, ah, les pauvres !).

Je maintiens : pour moi, sur le plan graphique, Takaya n'a jamais rien dessiné de plus beau que ce chapitre. *___*

Yeah, to tease is "taquiner". Less formal and more everyday talk would be "charrier", though.

Oh, and for that sentence I didn't get... ARIGATO NE !!!! Thank God you were here. Tonight when I get home, I'll add a little comment especially for ya on the #130 translation page (I was too sleepy yesterday night to think about it). *hugs*

L'art de chapitre est très beau, oui. ^_^ T'as raison : il faut penser toujours aux pauvres.

No worries about yesterday. I studied translation for 2 years, so it's gratifying to actually use some of those so very expensive skills. O.O

Do you mind if I friend you? I've seen your posts all over the fandom, and especially on [livejournal.com profile] umadoshi's journal, and you always have something interesting and intelligent to add. :)

I found this chapter to be so touching and beautiful. I also felt sorry for Kagura; I've never been overly concerned with her, but I've always thought that she is a rather lonely person. Hatori broke my heart, and Shigure ... well, I'm not quite sure what to make of him, as always, but I don't think he's happy yet. And Akito is just killing me. ;_; I hope she gets some happiness soon.

I've been focusing on the negative! I was extremely happy and touched by Ayame's reaction, as well as that of almost everyone else. I think Ayame seems happier than any of them, except perhaps Kyou; there doesn't seem to be that joy tinged with sadness and loss that the others have.

Don't mind at all. Welcome. ^_^

This chapter was indeed very touching. Which is such a relief, because it coculd have been so trite. Takaya is truly an excellent storyteller.

Oh. Aya & Mine. *wibble* I recently re-read the entire series and discovered this new love for Aya. On first reading, I felt much the same way about him that Yuki & Kyo did. But now, oh yes, I like him. He's not a new favourite, those are Hatori, Kyo & Kazuma. But I do like him.

Thank you! :)

I have a special place in my heart for Kazuma. I've always said that he's one of the kindest, best people in the whole series, especially considering how horrible some of the parents are. He's the type of person I'd want in Real Life. ;)

I've been wanting to watch this. I have it -- but the list of things I'm supposed to watch is daunting and piling up. -_-

Indeed, Kagura is one of those characters that is generally replicated across fandoms. Or, at least, it seemed that way initially. I don't tend to appreciate the girls that chase after guys and beat them up for reasons that are illogical to normal people. But -- her characterization steadily became more sad, to the point of making me uncomfortable. Maybe I felt guilty for never liking her, but I still haven't formed much of a fondness for her.

I wanted to tell you that I had my Ayame outfit taken in a little bit and that I'll be putting up pictures soon. You mentioned that you are making yours, and so I asked my seamstress (who took it in) what kinds of thread go well with that silk. Apparently, the arms were coming undone. =/ She said the commercialized sewing machines don't do well with that kind of material. Of course, I'm not familiar with any type of sewing machine, but I was lucky that I didn't try to wear it in the shape it was in when I got it. o_O

Ano... do you mind if I friend you? Take care. :)

eeeek! Thanks for the tips. I'm sorry yours needed the extra work. But better that than it falling apart on your back. :/ I plan on imposing on a friend of mine for help. She's a pretty advanced costumer. ^_^

Friend away. ^_^
