r/2HA_immortality

The backlash was due to artists anti-chinese tweets NOT artsyle

Seems like we might have to say goodbye to this manga...

A quick rundown of everything going on with links.

with no disrecpect to anyone who's involved with the manga adaptation, i don't think erha manga is a viable project. why? because erha is too long.

from what I've seen, it will be published every two months and it will be faithful to the original text

erha's main story is 310 chapters.

let's say, at the best case scenario, a manga chapter equals a whole chapter in erha and we won't count any extras extras.

310 divided by 6 is 51.6

even if it's two book chapters in one manga chapter, it's still 25 years.

please correcr me if im wrong. i hope im wrong! id like a manga adaptation! but it's not looking so bright!

Here are some absolutely stunning illustrations by Anna Podedworna.

She's the author of the Polish edition cover, so I assume they are in the vol 1 book.

I'm in love with these. No shade on the English book illustrations, but I think this material calls for more of a mature style.

Finally, the wait is over! I’ve bought all the volumes of Erha. I was one of those people who read chapters 1–151 translated by Rynn and Suika, and then eventually gave in to the infamous edited MTL version just to finish the story.

After six years of waiting, I’m rereading it again because I’m currently working from home due to an ankle fracture, so I have more time on my hands. The edited MTL version was pretty good, but honestly, reading a novel translated by actual human translators is such a different experience.

At one point, I completely lost track of the narrative and the timeline, especially because the story gets into things involving different dimensions and souls. That part can be really difficult to follow without a proper translation.

And I haven’t even reached the saddest part of the story yet. Right now, I’m just enjoying their romantic arc—their first kisses, first confession, first hug, and all those little moments. Wanning being so shy and Moran being such a gentleman is just 🥹.

After waiting six years, I’m finally getting to experience the story properly. And honestly, I’m enjoying every little moment before everything inevitably falls apart. 😭

I’ve been reading 2HA for a decent while now and I loved it, all up until after the bring back Wanning arc, it kinda dropped off for me, I’m at chapter 137 right now, it got more boring honestly. Should I keep reading? Does it pick up again?

I know that in the unreleased Immortality, the creators genderbent the Shimei character to pass censorship (?). While I understand the reasons behind this, I would like to know which male actors you think would best suit the character of Shimei. Who would you like to see play Shimei? I'm not that familiar with other actors, but it would help me to have a face to imagine while reading, as I do with Ranwan. Please feel free to suggest male actors who would be suitable for the role of Shimei.

By the way, this is not a discussion about why they genderbent Shimei, or any opinions on that matter (good or bad). Also, please no hate towards the actress playing Shimei. The eternal tragedy is that the whole series was shelved for such a long time in the first place.

Read vol 1, 2 and a good chunk of vol 3 before stopping. Now I want to continue where I started. Any summaries available from any sources?

I just finished the book and i’m too lazy to read all of the extra chapters (also i kinda didn’t love the ending) but im really curious about them, does anyone know if i can find a summary of them anywhere?
