First off, I wanna wish an early happy birthday to my friend Emily (a personal friend of mine who might actually read this on her own...) whose birthday is tomorrow. I'm an admin, so who says I can't do this?
Now onto the poll! This new poll was submitted by our member kizi180. It's technically not a manga one... oh well? If the choice you want isn't listed, too bad. Suck it up.

I read Naruto. I've scanlated Bleach and Fruits Basket (I'm a guy with a liking for some shoujo). I enjoyed Dramacon (an Original English Language by [sitelink=publishers.html?id=234]TokyoPop[/sitelink]). I was fine with the ending of Ichigo 100%...
And if you wanna blackmail me with what I read, go check out my lists
This new poll was submitted by our member JohnHomos. Based on the manga series that a person reads, do you judge that person? Like if I read a ton or romance, or I read Naruto... (all theoretical, of course)

(If you look at the news post for last year, then you'll see that I was 1 day late last year. Now it's 2 days late... Third time's the charm, eh?)
This poll was suggested by our member Chaoswind. Ever cry while reading manga? Maybe someone finally confessed! Or someone critical died...So tell us those tales of woe (or happiness!)

A year has come and gone since the last time I've made this kind of news post. I'm 19 now, the last of the teen years. The last year has been great, so here's to another good one!
This poll is probably suited more toward Valentine's Day, but oh well~
Simply choose your favorite chocolate type. Some of you may not be happy with the choices I put there, but too bad. I'm not an expert on types of chocolates...And just to tell you, the idea for this poll was submitted by our forum moderator NightSwan.
