Chapter 268

Hey, just letting you know, the Aaroniero Arleri revert that you made was in fact a true statement. Chapter 268 is already out, and those who've read it would know that the thing you reverted is correct. --HayashiKun 00:49, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Malcom

As far as I am aware , 1) That is POV, which is against wiki policy. 2) That edit was made on other pages not mearly Malcom. 3) If you believe it is not a correct reversion I will be more than glad to revert it , However, I still stand behind my intial decesion. Any questions post on my talk.--Jab843 (talk) 07:17, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A Town Where You Live

I still don't agree with you insistence to have this "...and also takes place some time after or during Suzuka, one of Kouji Seo's other works." I feel that Suzuka reference should be viewed as nothing more than a TV show that the characters were watching. A TV show the characters were watching has very little bearing on the overall plot of A Town Where You Live. (Duane543 (talk) 18:51, 30 January 2009 (UTC))[reply]

Yes, the reference is indeed to the TV show that they were watching that had Honoka in it. However, I think that it is important to note that both mangas are still in the same universe. Although it may have little bearing on the plot for now, as seen in chapter 2, it is supposed to be a prequel to Suzuka; connections between the two mangas and developments may show in future chapters. I don't really see the harm in adding it; if setting counts as plot (as I assume to be so as it is in the plot section), then the reference should be counted as plot as well. For example, the setting of a story (according to Wikipedia), includes the time, location and circumstances in which it takes place. The Suzuka reference (I think) contributes to all 3 of these. The time of A Town Where You Live is probably in the 21st or late 20th century; the Suzuka reference solidifies that fact and shows the time of A Town Where You Live, although somewhat implicitly. The setting is in Japan as well; them watching Honoka on TV who speaks Japanese shows that. Circumstances (forgive me if I'm wrong) are that it takes place some time after or during Suzuka (the part that the Suzuka reference plays here is self-explanatory). I'm not trying to say that one couldn't figure out the time, location and circumstances in which A Town Where You Live takes place without the Suzuka reference, but it just helps to solidify setting. Just trying to be bold here. Expo377 (talk) 00:51, 31 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You have two contradicting statements. These are that A Town Where You Live takes during or after Suzuka and that it is a prequel to Suzuka. If A Town Where You Live is indeed a prequel (although I have seen nothing to support it so far), by definition A Town Where You Live has to take place before Suzuka. I appreciate your efforts to improve the article, but I just don't see that statement solidify setting. If it was any other tv show was referenced besides Kouji Seo referencing his own work, you would not making such an argument. Unless more of evidence comes up in future chapters, I don't see both A Town Where You Live and Suzuka having much to do with each other besides having similar plot elements. If anything, the reference is more of an Easter egg than anything else. (Duane543 (talk) 04:46, 31 January 2009 (UTC))[reply]
