No, as far as I can tell it is the same text, though it is full furigana. It’s just got a weird default level because it was submitted under the “children’s story” category. The edition is aimed at 小学生, but I am sceptical about how much one would get out of it…
My brain is confused and idk why
Because yes but also why
But yes
Obscure words and grammar will probably not be a problem, obscure kanji are addressed by the furigana. They will understand the text on the surface side, which might be enough to like the book.
Then, ten years later when they will also understand the allusions and references, they might re-read it and like it even more.
Edit: that reminds me of e.g. Moby Dick, which you can also read on the surface side or watch the movie and like it, or read it in a version that explains the allusions and references and like it even more.
Guessing it’s just the default provisional numbers children’s books are entered at, if the user doesn’t provide an estimated. Just like how for LNs it’s L30??. Doesn’t mean anything besides “level unknown, most children’s books are probably around here”
…which reminds me of スズメの戸締り as it has quite some allusions to 魔女の宅急便, like it has, to cite another list entry, two 猫のようなナニカs in the car and uses the opening song of the other movie.
I will admit it’s slightly unorthodox, but Jiji is my favorite book and movie character from that work, lol. While he’s not the main character I feel like I wouldn’t be disappointed if someone had recommended me that as a cat book (and I honestly enjoyed it as a cat book more than 世界から猫が消えたなら ).
旅猫リポート | L29 is one of my favourite books and I highly recommend it. It does get very sad though.
@暁のルナ just found your toxic yuri list
very nice
muy bueno
merci beaucoup
shukran ktir
a danke groysen
definitely checking out
added and added ![]()
Oh, cool. Now I know what to avoid.
@暁のルナ Ungraded Yuri novels & LNs | Japanese list by 暁のルナ | Natively you could remove 私の初恋相手がキスしてた | L32 and add ビブリオフィリアの乙女たち | L30?? 働く私と彼女の同棲 | L31?? さいはての終末ガールズパッカー | L30?? このぬくもりを君と呼ぶんだ | L30??
Actually, I think all wish listed Yuri novels in my library are a strict subset of those in your library. So you know of all of them already.
I’m glad my list can serve both these purposes
Also thx for the reminder it exists. I’ll have to update it one of these days
Not the first time I have heard this
actually tho, two were new. Thx for the additions
(Now if only there were an easy way to identify untagged yuri novels on the site…). Sadly I probably won’t get to reading any ungraded novels anytime soon. But maybe someone else will
Reminder to self to add this to ungraded list, once it gets approved: コールミー・バイ・ノーネーム (星海社 e-FICTIONS) | L30??
I just found out that we have a cat tag. If you contributed to the list, could you check if your suggestion is tagged appropriately?
Let’s make it even easier to find cats!
I think I made the tag? or is it a different cat tag than what I used?
and good question, try and see if you can I guess? if not and it’s a different tag I’ll add it
I also added a dog tag based on the cat tag. If anyone wants to tag and/or find dog media ![]()
![]()
I am, however, legally obligated by the feline inhabitants of my house to state that I am unequivocally team cat.
It was meant more as a “could you please” rather than a genuine question. As far as I’m aware, everyone should be able to add the tag. Sorry for the confusion.
I would have tagged everything myself, but I don’t want to risk tagging cats as a main element when moderate would be more appropriate and disappointing someone that was looking for cats
Plus this way everyone knows about an important tag.
Good choice Dogs are great as well though
Sorry, I think this will have been my fault. The place I got the book from suggested it as a children’s book with full furigana so when I added it to natively and didn’t know the grade, I just let it pick up the ?? Auto-Grade.
I’m not sure if this has been pointed out before. When adding books to a list (on a phone at least), the field is at the bottom of the page. Except most of the time the first few results that show up aren’t the book I’m looking for, so I scroll down, which makes search results disappear.
Altogether not a huge problem if I’m adding one book at a time, but since I recently did one with almost thirty books added at once… It gets a little annoying. This is also probably due to me being easily distracted and forgetting to scroll down before searching for a book almost every time, but surely I’m not the only one ![]()
Add tags has the same problem. I have to remind myself to scroll down first, all the time ![]()
I’m making a list for manga about gender nonconforming characters, but I don’t know what to call it. Using the term “gender nonconformity” is fine in the description, but I don’t really like it for the title. Any suggestions?
Here’s the tentative description:
This list contains manga involving any kind of gender nonconformity. This includes manga where a major character is transgender/non-binary, crossdresses, considers themselves an 男の娘, or has their gender swapped.
