Шановні пані та панове, я уполномочен заявить, что with this message The Great MR.com Manga Reading Project for Japanese Language Study and the Betterment of Mankind が 始まります。
The members so far are me and ST but everyone is welcome to join.

This was first discussed here:
http://masterrussian.net/mforum/viewtop ... &start=120

and, so far, the manga of choice is...
Azumanga Daioh!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azumanga
http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/4840214670

(see the thread referenced above for some links, tools and other info; you can get a sample of the first several pages of the manga here:
http://rapidshare.de/files/28038747/sam ... a.zip.html )

I suggest that we read the manga, perhaps post interesting/useful unknown words to this thread, and especially discuss phrases that seem ambiguous, unclear, or just ****ing hard
