I love manga, anime, and a whole of nerdy things. Normally I don't look the type and though it sometimes surprises people I wouldn't be embarrassed about it. I'm damn proud of who I am and what I like.

I don't go around screaming it, but I don't hide it, just like any other hobby or interest.
Basically, all the people who're interested enough to ask know :3

Have you ever wondered if there was more to life, other than being really, really, ridiculously good looking?

No, but I wouldn't specify the genres I'm interested, because I wouldn't want what tastes in manga others have either...

For sure it's embarrassing to tell my friends I like to read mangas since they don't like it themselves and they're not the type to.

I don't walk around holding a sign like "I am a manga reader!" but I don't mind telling my friends about it. If only I could convince them to read too...

I feel like I am not the norm at all. No one knows I read manga. Where I live, only social outcasts are in to "that Japanese crap." I'm not your typical reader by any means. I am not ashamed, I just keep my love to myself.

It depends on which friends. If I know they're nerds, then I don't keep it a secret because whatever sick hobby I have probably won't hold a candle to whatever disturbing things they do in the sanctity of their parent's basement.
Now, in a professional environment such as my workplace or the local bar, I keep my hobby to myself.

thread: I'm not embarrassed at all, sometimes I even persuade my friends to read manga.
This hobby doesn't hurt anybody in my life (yet) so there's nothing to be ashamed about it.

I'm not embarassed at all, they know it, tease me a bit and it stops there... Moreover, it made me gain 200 points for my TOEIC ! So everybody's happy ^^
