I enjoy learning about linguistics generally, and also how linguistic concepts apply more specifically to Japanese, the language that I am trying to learn.
The funny thing is that without this series I would not have found you. I was looking for posts about a manga I like, アオハライド, or “Ao Haru Ride” / “Blue Spring Ride.” “Haru” led me to you.
I also found out through some other research that the title of this manga is a play on the kanji for “blue”/青 and “spring” / 春which come together to mean “youth” / 青春. Youth also has an element of “springing up” and “stretching” like you mention as concepts here!
Anyway, thank you for sharing. I look forward to more.
I loved this series, and the quiz!
