NEWS: Takeshi Nogami's Marine Corps Yumi Manga Posted in English

Secondary target audience is English readers, esp. current and former military personnel who might get a kick out of stuff that are common across the services.

You've covered approximately the first day of boot camp in about six months, right? Hey, that's only 12 more years left until graduation!

Just kidding.

I plan on promoting it to my friends and family who are in the Marine Corps, or out now once a few more chapters are up in English. Because, I find it very funny. So thanks.

That's great! Thank you.

Semper Fi!

So far,I like what I see in "Marine Corps Yumi." She might not have a lot upstairs right now but she does have a good heart. This manga doesn't seem to treat Americans as vermin some other manga and anime have done. And,personally,I like that. I hope this continues because I think those like anastasm should be very proud of themselves for the work they did. Very proud indeed.

It just now hit me that you were a lady...

I was confused why Linda decided to join the marines all of the sudden, and is Donna's motivation supposed to be vague at this point? Or are you going to get into that later? I think a few more panels before they arrived at boot camp (their meeting with recruiters could have been entertaining, and you could have made it more obvious that Yumi and Linda spent those months together and signed up with the buddy system.).

With the right treatment it could make a pretty good TV series. You should pitch it somewhere. The moe military thing is still a thing after all.

I've still been reading the Japanese version.

Interpreting without any training or experience is a bitch, to be honest (at least in my experience).

It definitely sucks, doesn't it?

The English version will catch up to the Japanese version by the end of the year or early next year, so stay tuned.

No, once you've got a little bit of experience it's a lot of fun! Better than translating, at least...and you get paid more. And you don't wear your fingers out typing on a keyboard.

A website for Marine Corps Yumi?" That's wonderful,anastasm. I'll check it out soon. Thanks for the update,ma'am.
