I just read most of the first chapter of a shoujo manga.

This one, which is presently running in Hana to Yume. The love interest is this lecherous fox demon who wants to kick the homeless heroine back out in the street. A flashback started that I think was going to explain how his tragic past excuses this, but I stopped because I decided I'd rather think about C# again.

In this brave modern age, are there manga romances where the guy isn't a creep who excuses his behavior by means of a tragic past? Is Ouran High School Host Club seriously all we've got there? Ouran and Nana to Kaoru. I just listed the softcore bondage comic, I don't know if you caught that. It was the very best I could do.

I'd probably be happier with the trend if the girl got to take that role occasionally. I mean, is there even any yuri manga where one of the girls is genuinely a jerk? Where she doesn't die, I mean.

SOLVED - The MeCab/C# problem, more coherently.

Before I wade into stackoverflow with this, any suggestions? I'm trying to use the Japanese morphological analyzer MeCab in a C# program (Visual Studio 2010 Express, Windows 7), and something's going wrong with the encoding.

( cut for many details )

Solved! Thank you, Cryovat and Tim Gebhardt!
