Paradise Kiss is only a 5 volume Manga

Contents

[edit] Isabella description incorrect

Isabella is not a transvestite (despite Tokyopop ignorantly calling her a "dragqueen" in a summary), she is a non-op transsexual. This section is both factually and politically incorrect. Please fix this.

[edit] Not a Sequel

ParaKiss involes Yazawa Gakuen, but it has a totally different cast of characters. It's set in the same universe, yes, however, that doesn't make it a sequel to Gokinjo Monogatari.

[edit] anime/manga differences

is there any differences between the manga/anime version? there should be a section for this.

All I remember is that the anime didn't have the sort-of epilogue that was at the end of the manga (where Caroline is older and married to that guy she liked at the beginning (forgot his name!)). QueenStupid 17:25, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
The manga runs 5x10 part, the anime only 12 episodes. That means almost 80% compression for the motion picture. Essentially most of Georgie's negative personality aspects were omitted and the end game is highly sketchy in the anime. 91.83.14.166 (talk) 22:11, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "Last Run"

I'm curious, is the "Last Run" information supposed to be the last time it aired, or the last time it aired a new episode? If it's the latter, then I think it should be January instead of August, but I'm not sure. Osakadensetsu 01:56, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Nevermind, I just realized it says "Original Run", and I know it was over by the end of January. I'm not sure on what date, though. Can anyone confirm what date it was? Osakadensetsu 01:59, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Para Kiss

The article claims that the Para Kiss abbreviation comes from fans but I'm pretty sure it originates from the "Para Kiss" labels being used on the clothing and then was picked up by fans. Bride of lister 00:29, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Parakiss Logo.gif

Image:Parakiss Logo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 07:21, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Miwako with special needs?

There appears to be a contradiction in the anime. In the first episode, when Yukari loses her notebook, Miwako finds it, unable to read her name and then asks George if he's sure such kanji are spelled as "Yukari Hayasaka". This would imply Miwako is semi-illiterate, which is almost impossible in Japan, so maybe she is a bit retarded? On the other hand, in ep 11. she exchanges new year's greeting mobile phone messages with Tokumori, which hints she is OK with written japanese. Could somebody answer this (possibly based on knowledge of the full manga) and address the issue in the article, if suitable? Thanks in advance! 91.83.14.166 (talk) 22:17, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
