JOPfan's Lesson #5 ; Sound Effects

It's here; my fifth post! Well, the title sounds all professional and blah... but it's more on the side of randomness. I thought it might be interesting for you guys to read about random sound effects that appear in manga, which is usually not translated... unless it says *SFX: on the page somewhere. Well, I'll post the main ones, so ask if you want to know ones other than this. It's all in alphabetical order. In order to avoid too much confusion in terms of length, I'll do the 1st half of the alphabet (A~M) here and the next half (N~Z) in the next lesson. It's gonna be pretty long so go snatch a snack and drink!

Wheww! FINALLY!!! Guh, didn't except this to take so long. Yeah, this may seem like a lot, but I just took 1 volume of all the OP volumes and listed the sounds out of there. So this is just 1 segment of the whole sound chart! Geez, can't make fun of 'em! Well, I hope you enjoyed the lesson. Actually, tell me below if you want me to do the rest of the alphabet or do something different. I don't care what you want me to do. For now, the link below will say Part Two, but if you want something new, I will change it. Well, ask me anything related, unrelated, or both if ya need to. Thanks guys.
