Odeko no Mahou

Yah, I agree with Dionaea. Overall, I found these rather less than impressive. The second story seems to be a compilation of stories with no real endings. The first story was fine, though like Purple Library Guy I wish more of her forhead had been translated. The third story was my favorite, though

Spoiler

I kinda wish the transition between him finding out who she was and accepting it was longer

. As for the fourth...I'm not even really sure what to think about that. My suggestion is to read the 3rd, then 1st and skip the others.

I think it's better to read the third after the first, for exactly the reason you stated. It's the best chapter; Why would you read the best first and then read a less impressive chapter after?

Like PLG said, this kind of stuff is what kill the reading/watching, i noticed this is happening not only on mangas but animes also, is just my impression or scanlators/anime translators are getting tired of it?

I dunno about these... The first one ended too soon as in something was missing in the ending, the second ones don't seem to have an ending, the fourth... errr... "?"... The third story is the best I think, I really enjoyed reading that one

OK, not really true. After a gap they start doing it more than half the time, and maybe three quarters of the time for important ones. I ranted too quickly. I'd still be happier if some of the ones that didn't get a translation had.

OK, I don't like criticizing scanlators. But here's the thing: The premise is, her forehead displays a word which changes depending on her emotions, right? OK, so reading the manga, there it is, you can see it, a Japanese word. And you can see it looks different in different panels. Often it's completely unobscured.
And the scanlators don't translate it!
What the devil? It's the central schtick, it's a window into what she's thinking, it drives both the action and the characterization at the same time, and there's no note at the bottom of the frame telling you what the bleep it's saying!!! I can't read the manga that way, the frustration is driving me nuts.

Aww... I wanted the first one to last longer. D:


Those two remind me of Meiko and Kaito.
