I don't mind it if it's censored, but I'd rather not be looking at private bits. (I've read that the manga does include uncensored nudity. No thank you.)TripleSRanknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7359282494220851602.post-14968813476725964332012-03-17T15:25:06.326+13:002012-03-17T15:25:06.326+13:00I will say, though, that Spice and Wolf takes plac...I will say, though, that Spice and Wolf takes place in a Germanic setting, not Japan. To include the honorifics for a story that takes place outside of Japan wouldn't make a whole lot of sense. Gunsmith Cats, set in Chicago, wouldn't really make sense with honorifics coming from American characters.kitsunisanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11313449861155647253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7359282494220851602.post-28074042269772510402012-03-17T12:59:03.338+13:002012-03-17T12:59:03.338+13:00No they aren't.

Novels are different somehow, I've read many Japanese novels, such as the works of Haruki Murakami, and honorifics are never used, but they arnt really needed. I guess it depends on the medium. Manga NEEDS them because its a quick way of adding depth to character interactions without using much text space. Novels however are free to describe in greater depth, rendering honorifics somewhat invalid and confusing for most English readers.<br /><br />I dunno, i get by without honorifics in novels. I guess the other thing about it is that this novel series is not set in Japan, which makes them even more invalid.Lanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236048894890201415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7359282494220851602.post-86264544373657921822012-03-17T11:31:37.358+13:002012-03-17T11:31:37.358+13:00There's always a lot of things that get cut fr...There's always a lot of things that get cut from source light novels and source manga in their anime adaptations. <br /><br />Were Japanese honorifics retained in this?AstroNerdBoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01916904278388886800noreply@blogger.com
