I simply translate verrry slowly. I'm always amazed at how fast you are, it always took me an hour or so for even the shorter texts!

and its just, you know, only with having read a couple of manga (Rurouni Kenshin!) and a handful of random Wikipedia articles on Japanese history, even *I* realize that there's something majorly off about claims like these.

also, deepad poetically, beautifully mocks the Victorientalism notion as it deserves.
