    Apparently there is a city called Happy Land in Erromango. The place sounds deceiving. I bet they offer cake >.>

    I'm not sure on the English translation, but this island was 'formerly known a "Martyr's Island" by the Presbyterian missionaries in the 19th century, because of the alleged risk attached to missionary activity there'.

    OH, エロ, HO.
    Three different ways to read it, forming a sentence! (the HO being laughter)

    Well, that's what you get when your language is just a bunch of boxes and squiggles.

    Just kidding.

    Koichi:

    I'm sure you know a lot of guys who could tell you what people in エロマンガ look like. In all serious, though, is it Erromanga or Erromango (as you wrote in your post)?

    @tamélina's link

    Near the top of the page there is language selection, click English (Japanese would probably work. I just didn't try it.) The picture on the left collomn is a map of Erro Manga. If you zoom in on that pic. there is a city called Happy Land. That's wild.

    I had never heard of this before. I wonder if it was intentional or not. Or if it was just the right amount of cloudy and sunny days.
