Finally Kaoru x Mask, yay!

Of all things, why did it have to be German...

Cool factor plus it makes everything sound like either a war movie, or hardcore porn

Such power play! A top pair, in multiple ways. While not my #1 pair, they’re definitely in my top 3 + their ability to top are off the charts, the other students got nothing (Yuu who?).

The nature of shipping is not giving a shit about canon. The two main male characters in a shounen manga may both have canon girlfriends, but fangirls will still ship them together and think it's far better this way. No such thing as war between canon and ship, they run on separate thoroughfares.
This is even truer for a manga like VE where the canon has been written in stone since forever. Kishi revealed the endgame couples a long time ago, we knew of most of them before they even formed. Just check his extra art, ie his Halloween pics: all you need to know is there.
To sum it up: 1) We already know who will end up with who. 2) Shippers still don't give a damn.

The constellation in the southwestern corner of the sky is totally a hotbed for shipping.

Mio/Shizuka/Kaoru/Mask/Onibi/Nao — Talk about potential, ohohoh.

The Manga Research Club is pretty much the series nexus of sprawling and convoluted relationships. Probably doesn't hurt that - with the notable exception of Hibiki and Mio - everyone connected to it is a raging weirdo (all the artsy types, Nao), messed up in the head (Shizuka) or both (Kaoru)... :P

Ara?

Damn my German is rusty.

I confirm that this is true, works for Kaoru anyway

I'm not sure why being incredibly obnoxious is apparently supposed to be hot.

That's *literally* different strokes for different folks!

Thats it, im on board! I love the interactions between these two, always trying to break down each others shields, loved that "gottem" move there, hats off to Kaoru for that one.

Kaoru was like "call an ambulance but not for me"

This was very interesting.
It was already great with Mayoi using the reverse card, then Kaoru reverse-reversed it back. Tale of no bottoms, Battle of two tops.

Is there any couple in the series with two bottoms?

This was my first thought. They seem eager to bend over backwards to please each other.

I am german soooo...... "Ich habe viel Zeit mit einer Freundin aus Deutschland verbracht," would have been the correct spelling for this sentence :D Virgin's Empire is my favorite Manga of all the time <3

Although, didn't VE have a german publication ? Wonder how they will translate that ?

I don't know what you're even trying to ask. Why would a German publisher translate the German part into anything?

I don't know if you're really don't understand what i meant or you're just trolling me.The whole dialogue in german won't make sense in german because well, they were already speaking in german. Here it make sense because it's in english and in the raws because it was in Japanese and Mask-senpai talk to Kaoru in a foreign language but if the foreign language she is suposs to use is the same as the language in which the manga is translated, that kinda lose its purpose. I don't know if it's really clear.

If you're asking how are they going to make it clear that she's actually speaking in German, most of the time there's a different font used, or a note on the page, or both. That's how actual publications I've seen in English go about it. I'm just assuming the publishers who do German localization do something similar.

It's not a stupid question, because some publishers, when there is a part in their own language, choose to translate it into some other foreign language, like French or Spanish, so as to keep the thing "natural" instead of adding notes. It happens. Maybe less now, since most readers by now learned to read in the right-to-left Japanese mode, so publishers are trying less hard to please a "large" public, because the connoisseur public has become a lot larger.
