...and manga. from the "worst" class this year.

Acomicback said...: Oh, my IE students made me an awesome card like this, too! That's so awesome!

And that's a Gintama comic, isn't it? What does it say?; 7/16/2009 4:36 AM
Nick said...: Ginatama! That's the name. We were wondering about that in the teacher's office.

It's a page from the manga. One of the characters is leaving. They talk about all the times they laughed and cried together. And then the big cat sits on him so he can't leave.

I don't have it handy. That's a loose overview from memory.; 7/16/2009 10:15 AM
Acomicback said...: Gintama was monstrously popular while I was in Japan--though I didn't care for the comic too much myself. I've read the first couple volumes, but the main reason I can recognize it so quickly is because my students would draw the characters all the time!

I think the big cat is actually a big dog, but that goes to show how strong the character designs are. I hope you are well!; 7/18/2009 11:59 PM
