Hi!  I just got back from winter break and resubscribed.  I hope everyone is 
having a great holiday season (it's not over yet since this year Ramadan is

Here's my explanation of the relationship between the Amazon/Jusenkuyo area 
and the rest of China.  See, in the manga and anime they don't interact at

So if you want to write a precise fan fiction involving Amazon characters 
or the Jusenkuyo guides, just do what they do and pretend the rest of China 
isn't there.
