楽しかったです。着物を着た女子をたくさん見ました

後で、日本の本屋で漫画の数冊も買いました。残念ながら、「あずまんが大王」も　「マインドアサシン」も　 見つけませんでした。でも、あずまきょうひこ　「あずまんがの漫画家」　の　「よつばと！」　を買いました :

すごく読みやすいコミックですよ。　振り仮名もあります。
そして、「20世紀少年」　と　「天上天下」　も買いました。　

きれいな~
я бы тоже сходил на такое...

「あずまんが大王」と「マインドアサシン」については残念でしたね。でも、もしかしたら「あずまんが大王」 より「よつばと！」の方がよかったんじゃないですか？両方あるに越したことはないですが

Thanks for the corrections.

Actually, I'm not too sure -- よつばと！ might be in fact a little too easy (how would I say that in Japanese?)
I actually like that Azumanga has more text and a bit more interesting expressions, so we can learn a bit more from it imo. Its' structure is also convenient, with every little strip being a short story.
よつばと is, on the other hand, something that I think is great for leisure reading.

btw, I think I didn't quite get 「両方あるに越したことはないですが」

実際のところ、よつばと！はちょっと易しすぎるかもしれないから(ちょっと易しすぎると思うから)、良いか どうか分からない

Well, sorry for saying without knowing the actual comic. I read that it is more close to reality than Azumanga in Wikipedia, picking up today’s social problems, but yeah, just good for малолетникам.

It can't be better to have both of them.

Here's a sample:

(btw, if you do happen to take a look at it: in the 2nd frame on the last page there a guy says "あいつ用が入ったからこねぇって　あいつだめだわ". Isn't such わ at the end rather feminine, or is it smth else?)

I'm not saying that everything is trivial there, and actually at the beginning I was looking for something like this, rather than smth like Azumanga, and had I seen it then I'd probably have picked it instead.

But I kinda like how it's working out with Azumanga, I think it's nice that it is easy to have a controlled pace with it, so that everyone is in sync, and even if someone gets behind it's not a problem because there is not much to miss.

hmm, it's not feminine, still normal usage and I think it's practically same as what you're talking about.. What can I say.. The two variants are different on intonation, I think. The one, which sounds feminine, has rather high intonation on わ, and the other doesn't. I'm not sure if there are other differences

I agree with you.
