The u's are almost always silent in foreign words like that - and even in normal Japanese, for that matter. So it would be pronounced something like Histerik Komiks, and Hysteric Comics is all I can think of it meaning. Has to be. But I don't know what that is.

ah, now that i take a second look i can see where they would be ku's. that particular font is just so ambiguous . . . on that one kana alone you could make a case for wa, fu, ku, or even u, ke, or ra if you're hallucinating enough.

if the kana are this tough i can only imagine how mind-blowingly impossible the kanji are . . . especially when they have two entirely different pronunciations based on context. i'm going to start taking chinese in a couple weeks . . . gives me something to look, er, forward to.
