BayJumper, if you cared about sound effects SOOOOO much all this time, why didn't you just learn the Katakana table? It would only have taken a week or so at the most. Once you were familiar with the simple characters, you'd be able to understand exactly what's being conveyed without a) DH having to do the work for you b) having to request them to post obstructive boxes all over the place in critical action scenes (imagine what vol 15 will be like, for example... There'll be SFX on every panel in the fight scenes.).
Honestly it would have taken far less effort to learn to read Katakana than write letters for 4 years. And this is something the Appendix can do for DH readers. Once readers become familiar with repeated sound effects (wind blowing and swords clanging, for example), they won't have to refer to the appendix EVER again.
We're a goddamned lazy country when it comes down to this sort of shit...
PS: Let me guess your reply...: IT'S THE PRINCIPLE OF THE THING, WALTER! THE PRINCIPLE!
