That's a geat honor to appear twice on Danbooru because of the author mistake. I was right when I said that my english wasn't that bad xD.

dat umbrella face. it's so cute.

Yes, Mizuki. Sometimes, people from a far land are reading your stuff. And rarely, they come to you, to tell you that you rock.

If I ever meet him, I'm going to confuse the heck out of him in French, then troll with English then finally just be like "okay lol I speak Japanese it's all good."

So wait, are you the one in the comic? If so, what happened?

We need to have Kogasa-san know that he has an overwhelming audience here in Danbooru!

Check child post

Why are a French and Japanese guy trying to converse in English when one of them doesn't know English?

Because it's much more probable a japanese person would know english than french.

English is a universal language. Big assumption is that if you are a white foreigner in Japan is that you can speak English.

yeah, is hard, but can learn a bit and can open many doors
kogasaauthor not have idea from this, for now

He should have drawn you with hair.

As I noted in the other post, he respected Poilu enough to not make him a Sin Sack.

well, 1 point for me: http://goo.gl/B1507
send this translated and respònd this

It is my understanding that he knows and was genuinely surprised to hear how quickly his works get translated.

Just curious, where'd he say this? I must know.

> Actually, like I said in the child post, I spoke to him with both english and "japanese" words (watashi wa Furansu-jin desu was the best I could do). He got my point anyway, I was afraid that he didn't understand what I meant to say but I can tell now that he did.
Actually, I regreted later that I didn't say something to support him in french (to be sure he understood) like "Je vous souhaite le meilleur pour la suite" ou "C'est un honneur de vous rencontrer", but, well, that wasn't that important anyway and he already looked like he was confused because he didn't know how to respond, I think that was bad idea afterall .
fortunachan => I don't understand your post, what does it mean ?
Edited : Ah, so you told him that danbooru translates all hiw work and you even linked the picture with the commentary ... I'm a bit confused now xD.

You should have offered to have lunch with him afterwards, then you would have been able to witness first hand his awesome appetite. Any plans to go see him again at the up coming winter comiket?

I think I speak for us all when I say "you're a lucky bastard".

So, now:
- Danboorians met Mizuki Hitoshi & his Waifu (probably)
- Mizuki-san himself knows about Danbooru.
The only thing left is for Kogasauthor himself to comment here. It'd be double-epic considering his engrish uber-skills :3

Kilgamayan said:

Yeah... Like 2 minutes after it gets uploaded on good days and 7-10 minutes on bad ones (At least, when the translation starts).

Mizuki Hitoshi said:
I am happy, just you come to meet me at C81. これで合ってんのかなｗ

いろんな場所で読んで頂いてて、とても嬉しいです。この４コマ続けててよかったですねー。

I don't want to try giving an exact translation in case I were to misquote him, but it sounds like he is pretty happy that people from around the world read his comic and that he'll keep at it.

I might see him again next summer (In fact, I'm doing all that I can to be able to go to Japan, especialy during the Natsukomi), If I do so, I will buy the doujinshi where I appear for sure. And I think I will buy something for him from France (but not food, don't wan't to make his wife angrier xD)

You know what would be awesome? You should cosplay as that yellow guy who is supposed to be you in the comic!

It's $20. You have no excuse not to do it now.

Agreed.

Oh gosh ! And I was thinking about the same thing, but now that I have seen this, don't expect me not to hesitate. Don't want to be mean but it's so gross ! xD
But well, I'll think about it (srsly), I've already cosplayed in Chen once so it's not a big deal ...
Edit : He speaks in english and yet he uses Hiragana because he wanted to say that he couldn't really speak english fluently and that he had an accent I think.

This.

And when I read that:

I'll think about it (srsly)

1. I REALLY want to see that with my own eyes xD (But I won't get these days off (around natsukomi)
2. I'd like to declare the "Danboorians-gather-to-meet-up-with-their-favorite-Artist(s)-at-Comiket"-Event xD

Who's in? xD
Side effects could be terrible though. If one guy makes Kogasauthor look like that - what would a few hundred do?^^;

So meta as fuck.

Phuong said:
So does that mean that we should add Poilu as a character tag now? xD

Still missing the Poilu tag.

Lowtyper : What a great idea ! O_o, I would love to come if danboorians gathered for comiket.

aw, thats bad man, I cant go overseas

If I come to Comiket next summer, I think I will offer a little present to Kogasauthor, something frome France that would survive the travelling and not be a hindrance in the plane, I could bring him something from Paris but I have no idea what to offer ...
Anyone ? I think that danboorians who don't live in France would now what no-French people would like to have from France or Paris.

something from France that isnt food?

sorry

I'm afraid that it isn't a good idea. Seriously there is nothing from France (or Paris) that would suits for a present ?

Hmm... Any object that can be of use that's unique in France... How about you do your own picture drawing yourself and Kogasauthor, standing in a background with a French flag?

My drawing skills are ... Negative. Giving blank sheet of paper would be better actually.
Perhaps some sweets from France, a french comic or something like that.

Co250: Why? o.o

Poilu: I'll see, if I can still make it to the natsukomi next year. If not:
Let's meet at Natsukomi 2013! xD
I'll definitely be there^^ Then I make an entry in the Event-Section of this nations biggest anime-community in the beginning of the year and "announce" it in the newest kogasa-san-4koma. :)

As for present: Sorry! If I think about stuff from France, I usually think of baguettes and wine^^; So.. Yeah, something that isn't THAT common, might be good xD.
I personally, will give him/them a snack, thats only made in here in germany - and exported only to austria afaik.
So, it's something strikes against that usual "beer&sausage"-manner and something they can't get in japan also.. :D
(On the other hand: If it's that hot, Kogasauthor might prefer a chilled beer rather than something to eat..^^; )

@Lowtyper: Its a lame joke, but seriously that was the first thing I thought about.

well, (lame) jokes aside. I dont know much about France, but hey, is perfume ok? I mean, women like perfume, dont they? that will be a great present for Sanaewife. I cant think of anything else for Mizuki, so thats my only (current) suggestion

*lol* Sry, Didn't see that you were also the guy that made the kiss-joke - My "why" was related to your post b4 that..
Why, can't you go overseas? :D
The joke wasn't so bad (or "lame") btw^^

well, 1 simple answer: Im still a college student. I dont have enough money to go overseas, tests drawing near, the farthest place my parents allow me to travel is my hometown, etc...
yeah, its kinda sad, and Im not even sure if I can go to Japan when I have a job and my own life :(

Uuuh. If I ever get to Japan, I'd love to join you in visiting Natsukomi. We'd be quite a bunch, though - Poilu is from France, Lowtyper is german, I'm russian, and there's a lot of people from USA commenting here as well... Mizuki-sensei was genuinely freaked out by a guy from France - just imagine his shock when an international delegation comes :3

That would be awesome. We should organize something like this.

Co250: You have my sympathy. My best friend and the most other Anime-fans I know here are just like that.. They have to study their butts off. And when they finally get enough money, I might already have a family..^^;

Type-kun: It would definitly be funny^^ I went last year with some mate, who are not really into Anime and stuff.. We were already 5 different Nations - or ethnic groups(?) - half-russian, half-filipino, half-pole, a "full" turk and a "real" german.. :D And now you may guess which of these were me, if you like xD

Poilu: Yeah, I always dreamed about it: travelling there with my german ("Otaku")-Friends - But as I mention earlier, that won't be happen it seems. So I immediately brought that up.. xD
But b4 we organize something, I would like to know if I'll be there xD Right now, I'm just trying to get days off in mid-august - wish me luck! I would hate you forever if you guys do it without me D:
I've got 2 ideas: one for the gathering at the natsukomi and one for a present for Kogasauthor - but none for how to organize this meeting xD (for now)

I highly doubt I'll be able to get in Japan in the following year, because last years of Uni and lack of money, combined with my total lack of Japanese, are soul-crushing =_= Well, anything is possible, though :3

2Poilu: Still wondering what to bring as a present? Buy that yellow suit and make a photo of yourself cosplaying, erm, yourself :3 Recursion is always good, matryoshka approved!

I'm afraid it would gross him out xD.

That aside, Poilu, does Mizuki look like this?
post #1054324

That's him ! xD I didn't know this 4koma. Why are you asking me that ?

Well, because you're the only one I could ask about Mizuki-san's appearance :3
Also, I'm really interested what his wife looks like, and since he drew himself accordingly to his looks IRL, we could assume that his (sanae)wife also has appearance similar to one in that post. So, out of 2 women you met at convention, was there one with similar looks? If there was, well, congrats - you DID meet Sanaewife. And you finally can tell us how much she's, erm...different from Sanae in that comic ;3

Err, well ... I Think I saw her, but ... Well. Can't be sure of it with that drawing. I think she might be the one who introduced me Mizuki Hitoshi.

Awww. Well, I still hope to confirm it myself one day :3

Err, well ... I Think I saw her, but ... Well. Can't be sure of it with that drawing. I think she might be the one who introduced me Mizuki Hitoshi.

Many artists are offended when they find their works uploaded elsewhere, but I'm glad Mizuki likes his stuff coming on Danbooru.

Danbooru is trying hard to keep any problems minimum, after all.

Poilu, I've had this treat from France. It was like sugar coated flower pedals. My friend picked them up when she went to France for the summer. What's the name for those? I'm sorry it's such an off topic question, it's just been bothering me for 4 years now XD

Uwah ... I really don't know what kind of sweets you are talking about.
I don't know if it's done abroad to, but our bakeries usually sell their own products that they have invented, so we can see many differents sweets in one bakery that we won't see anywhere else, those sweets are usually named after the bakery name's or something like a famous place nearby (Like "la gobelinoise" etc) it could have been the case for you, dunno.
You gave me an idea, something like Macarons (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macaron) would do I think, it isn't that costly and they aren't that common. I think it would make a good present ...
But actually I would feel like every others fans who offered him food. I'd prefer to give him something more original and something that can be found only in France. Rah, I really have no idea.
