    がんばれ小傘さん 583

    自分の日頃の行いを小傘さんに投影して描いてみようという日記漫画です。

    東京の路線はややっこしいですよねー。
    初めて東京来たときは、怖くて地下鉄乗れませんでした。
    映画で見たようなチンピラにたかられる！みたいな印象が強すぎでした。
    実際はそんなことないんですけどねー(^^;)

    ちなみに昨日の英語は
    "Excuse me, could you show me how to get to Honjo-azumabashi station?"
    のほうが自然だよーと向こうの掲示板で書かれてました(笑)

    The Tokyo train routes sure are tangled! When I first came to Tokyo, I was so scared that I couldn't ride the subway. The impression that I was going to get swarmed by young punks, like I'd seen in the movies, was too strong. In fact, nothing like that's ever happened to me. (^^;)

    By the way, it was posted on an overseas message board that "Excuse me, could you show me how to get to Honjo-Azumabashi Station?" would have been more natural for yesterday's English. :-)

    Reader-added tags include "No!" (in English), "Come with me, Kogasa-san", "A comic which makes me want to possess Kogasa-san", and "The generation for which Galaxy Express 999 is mainstream".

    The survey asks for our travel plans:

    The trains are here! Which one are we taking?
    • Marine Express
    • Galaxy Express 999
    • Hikarian
    • Might Gaine
    • Miracle☆Train

    ...He's DEFINITELY peering in here.

    Good to hear. 'sup, Mi... I mean, Kogasa-san :3
    Regarding the 4koma - I wonder if he had to go out of his way home to show that foreigner where to go? I don't know if I would do this much to help some random person.

    I'm glad I was able to help, Mizuki-san!

    I love Kogasa-san's serious face in the third panel. It's the face that says "Serious Business." Hopefully Kogasa-san will be able to help out, and still be able to get home before Sanae-san starts to worry.

    For the poll, Might Gaine is the train I want to get on. That thing turns into a giant mecha, a serious looking giant mecha. What's not to love about that?

    Most recent one I remember was the can of corn strip.

    That's right! Here's a link to his user page, if anyone wants to see (stalk) his account comments. http://danbooru.donmai.us/user/show/375001

    ...on a side note, did anyone save that photo with penguin toys and "thanks" from Sanae? I didn't expect it to get deleted :<

    I have it saved, but without knowing why he deleted it, I'm uncomfortable with posting it again. If I can work out to say it in Japanese about it without utterly embarrassing myself, I'll ask him if he minds.

    みずきひとし様：
    ペンギンのお土産と奥様からの御礼の写真を再投稿したいのですけど、それでもよろしいですか。
    I think that should do it...

    Thank you so much! I just sent him your message. I was absolutely floundering when I was trying to figure out how to write it. I guess my skills are still incredibly far from par.
