They were about an old friend from school and he thought that I should read them...
For all those non Greeks who can't get a good translation, they are articles from 2(!!!) newspapers, both saying how this young man learned Jap in 1 year ( :rofl: ) and then proceeded to write and draw manga that later got awarded... they also made two animes from his work and atm he says that he is preparing 7 new anime series for the next season. Another intresting tidbit is that one of his episodes got 44% of the tv viewers while there was a baseball final in tv... lmao
Anyway, beyond the hilarity that such comments cause to those with the slightest knowledge of the subject, it is blasphemous... atm there are many moves being made to correct this situation... but I can't understand how even a pathological liar could expect to get away with such crap, and how two newspapers could be fooled into writting about him, without checking their sources...
edit: you could use this link with translation programs...
