WHAT THE FUCK IS WITH KATAKANA

pochamarama:

I’m usually pretty accepting of writing systems but WHO DECIDED THIS SYLLABARY WAS A GOOD IDEA, JUST LOOK AT THIS SHIT AND HOW SIMILAR SOME KANA LOOK

フ and ワ <— Okay I guess that’s not too hard to tell them apart

ラ and ヲ <— Uh… getting slightly more confusing here

ス and ヌ <— Whoa better be careful with that diagonal stroke there

ク and ケ <— If your penmanship sucks, you’re basically screwed

チ and テ <— This pair isn’t so bad, maybe they’ll get easier after this 

セ and ヒ <— Wow, really? The one little hook differentiates these?

シ and ツ <— OH YOU’VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME

ソ and ン <— WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK JAPAN
