Here’s a comic to test how many of you actually went ahead an memorized the katakana along with the hiragana. You’ll be the ones who recognize スペイン as “supein” (Spain) and フランス as “furansu” (France).
Also, I’ve been thinking and it seems to me that “Genki Gengo Girls” is too long of a title to just roll of the tongue. So from now on this comic is just “Gengo Girls”. Much catchier, isn’t it? I’ll eventually get around to editing the first six strips with the new title.
