I swear by (Toph)God, everything written in the text boxes is taken STRAIGHT (word-for-word, verbatim, etc.) from my kanji instruction manual. It's supposed to explain how kanji evolved over however many thousands of years after arriving in Japan from China. A lot of them (so far) either deal with religion, death/killing, or body parts in some way, shape, or form.
I think it's funny as hell; and interesting, because a lot of the Chinese/Korean/Japanese students I talk to don't know the history behind the kanji they learned by rote from about age 3, but every once and a while, the explanation makes me go: "WHISKEY-TANGO-FOXTROT-OSCAR?!?!"
yeah, seriously! "shijin" is "citizen" so i went on a rant in my dorm kitchen how i'd never become a citizen of japan, now that I know i have to get pointy objects in the eye in order to do it.
I confused the hell outta the Japanese undergrads, but they think i'm nuts anyway, so it was all good.

well, as a Japanese student, I have to admit I haven't come across kanji that were that weird, or my sensei was nice enough to change the definition not to freak us out too much xD;
or I completely ignored those parts o xo;; though in some cases it's a real big help to know where the kanji derived from, so it's easier to remember.

Project Comment is a project that features the generally obscured and underappreciated artists and their art in regular news articles. Our objective is to recognise deviants who deserve more recognition and to feature deviations with less than 10 original comments.
The 0-5 Comments Issues feature a deviant as well as 3 deviations with less than 5 original comments from a wide selection of art. Please give your time to this article and to write constructive comments so that you make a true difference to the artists featured here.
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.

It's so true! Kanji tends to scare me sometimes but my teacher has her own ways to teach them but... they're not much better.
