Hi TJPers, I am reading this manga and can't seem to match this handwritten kanji (I attached a picture) in my dictionary (Spahn-Hadamitzky) or at KanjiDB (http://www.whiteknightlogic.net/kanjidb/). The characters are talking about sitting posture. I thought it looked like the kanji here: http://www.whiteknightlogic.net/kanjidb ... /kb9b9.php. But then the sentence wouldn't make sense.
I would be grateful for any ideas as to which kanji it is.
Yoi ichinichi all!

Re: Help with matching handwritten kanji
It's 悪. The phrase is 座りが悪い, which means "unstable," "be/feel uncomfortable," "not quite right" and the like.
EDIT: The reading is すわりがわるい.

Nuts. Finally one of these "handwritten kanji" threads I actually knew the answer to, and somebody beat me to it.

Ah, so that was "heart"! I kept looking for it under the "eight" and "legs" radicals 
and wondered why there was extra stroke

Re: Help with matching handwritten kanji
Hi there, I ran into another mysterious handwritten kanji (well, mysterious to me, anyway) in my manga. I uploaded the partial scan here. The closest symbol I could find was 齡, which doesn't fit in with the sentence. The radical on the left looks like "white"...any suggestions on what radical this may fall under is appreciated.
