According to Sankaku Complex, Ken Akamatsu is starting a free manga download site for out-of-print titles, and he's using Love Hina as the test content. It isn't up yet, so I can't say whether any translations will be available or it'll just be the Japanese run of the manga...

Remember what your mother said about not running with scissors? Knives count, too - http://www.cbc.ca/canada/ottawa/story/2 ... jured.html]as this man discovered the hard way this morning.

For some reason, I don't have a lot of sympathy for the guy. (I have so little sympathy, in fact, that I'm willing to make posts like this one...)

I was browsing through Vol 35 of OMG (gee that many volumes already?). I was struck by what Bell said in that volume. Inanimate objects, given enough time, would possess their own will. It's happened often enough in OMG (like the Shinden fighter).. But it only seems to happen if the object in question is near the Norns. Especially, if it's near Bell. So it begs the question. Would Doug's bike end up showing a will of it's own?

Both Nogi and Original Foxboy are in "Client Freeze" loops. Hopefully it will clear up when Ish 19 hits.

Proof positive that with sufficient motivation, you can make anything explode.

In the wake of a simply fantastic run of the Maria Jenkins Task Force this afternoon/evening (by my clock), Evangelia took a turn in the Tyrant's throne:

After trying out the throne, Evangelia took a liking to it, and idly mused that it was a pity that the team couldn't take it back to Primal Earth as a souvenir.  "I know just where to put it in the Legendary base -- behind my desk."
The other members of the team could not allow that wish to go ungranted, so they set to work freeing the throne from the Tyrant's evil grasp, with a fine selection of both manual and power tools:


It has been declared -- and not by me -- that the throne now resides in the Legendary base, and I will not dispute it.
