I keep reading the "kita" as "bei" (which means North in Chinese...OTL very elementary vocab XDD) so I keep getting confused about it...XD

I think this would be the right place to ask...


What IS 2mm? I'm assuming it's something perverse, but I can't figure it out D:

[identity profile] fx-xk.livejournal.com 2010-09-28 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
Reseha had a nama with Souma recently, and the description for Souma was
そ~ま(2mmな卑猥王子)

...and then in like ALL of the comments everyone kept saying like..
(Souma's) voice is 2mm!
(Souma's) guitar is 2mm!
&etc. D:
