feihong Posted February 3, 2011 at 12:45 AM Report Posted February 3, 2011 at 12:45 AM 新春快乐！Welcome to another installment of the Grand Comic Reading Project! For the first time, we're featuring a comic from mainland China. It's a fairly simple love story, and at less than 90 pages, it's not a terribly long read. I think the greatest challenge comes from the relatively low resolution of the images, which causes some of the characters to be hard to make out. As always, if you have any questions, post a message. Chinese Title: 走错的房间 Character Set: Simplified Country of Origin: China Year of First Publication: 2010 Genre: Romance Series Info: Webcomic Read Online: http://comic.zonghen...eries/3659.html Jump to first page: http://comic.zonghen...32/i103012.html Buy Online: N/A Difficulty: Easy Legibility: Good, except some characters are too small to easily make out. Summary: Yanyun returns to his hometown after years of studying abroad, and finds his fiance in the arms of another man. However, a chance encounter with a former classmate radically alters his life. Page Count: 87 pages CBZ Files: All five chapters (unzip to see individual CBZ files) Word List: http://grandcomic.wi...gjian_Word_List 1 Quote
Gleaves Posted February 3, 2011 at 07:41 PM Report Posted February 3, 2011 at 07:41 PM This one is a very quick read, only a couple sentences per page. You could read the whole thing during lunch. The art is very nice. It was slightly reminiscent of 向左走，向右走, if only because it is artsy and big on the whole chance encounter thing. Anyway, I enoyed it. Any idea what the note on this page says? Maybe "严允, 我出门买点东西...something, something?" I really need to work on my hadwriting reading. Quote
skylee Posted February 3, 2011 at 08:18 PM Report Posted February 3, 2011 at 08:18 PM It says, "...你起床在桌上有早點，我很快回。" And there is a typo in the left bubble of the first panel. 1 Quote
Gleaves Posted February 3, 2011 at 09:13 PM Report Posted February 3, 2011 at 09:13 PM Many thanks. Odd typo by the way. Didn't even notice it wasn't 地方. Quote
jbradfor Posted February 18, 2011 at 05:14 PM Report Posted February 18, 2011 at 05:14 PM On this page I'm having a really hard time parsing this sentence: "你這裡可真夠特別的" "You really have enough special-ness here"? I think it's the "可真夠" that is throwing me. Quote
