Nana.
Nana is a story of two women who share the same pronunciation of their names. Their kanji is different, mind you.

Does voting make a difference?
Webtoon has become an integral part in Korean culture ever since its emergence to replace traditional comic books. It started to show up in 2010 and began to reach its speak in 2015. Now, it is more common to find webtoon instead of comic books in Korea now.

If you are a long time visitor, you may have seen me mention this from time to time.
Allow me to dig in deep on the issue.

Irresponsible Captain Tylor [1993]
Irresponsible Captain Tylor was an interesting anime series in 1990s. Actually, come to think of it, I believe I can classify this anime as one of a kind because I haven’t seen anything like this ever since.

Myojin tales [2015]
This is a title I’ve actually translated although I didn’t complete it because, at that time, Spot toon put a stop on the project in the name of copyright.
Now, this was a title I initially did not expect to translate. It was one of my editors who said he wanted to work on. I figured why not.
My main reason for not wanting to translate on my own was due to how dark it was.

Princess [1996]
Ah, Princess.
The manwha, Princess, is about women’s ordeals. That is the easiest way to describe how the series is. And it is something I will talk about personally at the end of this entry.
The first volume of this series was released in 1996. The last published volume was 31 released in 2008. It continued on as a webtoon later on. More on that later.

Patlabor [1988]
Patlabor was and is still an oddball. It is one of few series which I favor anime over manga. Therefore, I will be talking about the anime although I will show you a small collection I have for this at the end of this article.
I also consider both manga and anime canon, so I will mix events from both plots.

Ii Hito [1993]
Ii Hito ( いい ひと ) means “a good person”. いい being “good”. ひと means a human being.
If you’ve watched anime, you have probably heard of both words frequently.
The protagonist is Kitano Yuji. He is a young man who has just arrived in Tokyo for work. He has a girlfriend in Daeko. Their relationship starts out as a long distance one in the beginning but they’ve been a couple for some years ever since their college days.
