And the placement of those floating external portions doesn't seem to match up in direction, distance and scale. XD

spooky; I loved Paradise Kiss! did you see the anime too?

Wow, so many replies in such a short time. xD I'm watching anime still.. Lol.

Is that Paradise Kiss about... fashion? I remember seeing a LOT of fashio designs, at least the clothes they wear are so specifically designed.

Spunkyky, oh. Josei. That. XD I see... but what kind of manga is Josei?
I am more to Shounen Shoujou. Or to the other end is hentai. XD

Ohh, yeah they are. XD

I remember being SO surprised at how bleeding HUGE Alaska is when I finally saw a larger map with everything in proportion. I love Google Maps, it's so fun to spin around the globe and then use the streetside view to poke my nose in different locations.

Nope. Not at all. most people think Alaska is the size of Texas because of maps like that, and not the fact that it's about a third of the size of all the other states. The park I have an interview for is the size of West Virginia. Just the park.

Did you manage to poke into other people's secret?
Are you caught into the streetview camera? XD

Shoujo is for younger girls, and Josei is more mature, and covers a looooot of different styles. I've read a lot of 'slice of life' romances in the Josei category.

I can never quite grasp the concept there are states several times bigger than my entire country. .-.

A few examples would be: AND by Okazaki Mari, ANE NO KEKKON by Nishi Keiko.

Not at all!! I just wanted to show you how our US maps look and how they detach Alaska from Canada to include it.

hmm... I can't say I hear of it before... DX
I guess I enjoy the light hearted and action pack and childish shou- type of manga too much.

Most of the states in the us are bigger then my country haha

I like twisted manga/anime when I get the chance to read or watch.
Boogiepop Phantom, Spiral (Uzumaki), Blood the last Vampire.

Oh! I'll have to see if I can find it online somewhere. (:

Yeah, Russia is the largest.

I was trying to think of the entire UK. Usually people just say England would fit into state x times.

They're usually detached because otherwise the map itself would have to be huge to include the amount of ocean between us and Hawaii, and provide unnecessary amounts of Canadian mappage to see Alaska. The gotta crop out the unnecessary stuff. Then because Hawaii is so small, they blow it up so people can identify the different islands.

But over time, that just causes assumptions and spacial ignorance. I prefer a GLOBE MAP for most school learning.

Most of Canada doesn't care, they see US as an overprotective sibling from what I gather. We have all the weapons and military power and if anyone touches Canada the US sees it as an attack on themselves.
