What the crazziesttt thing you do when it's involving manga??

--
Ok, for me:
When i was a child, wherever i went i always brought ones...
When i was middle schooler,
after school, twice a month (everytime the new released came...), i walk alone to the nearest book store just to buy ones. That would be impossible action for me if that's not bcause manga... a well raised spoiled lil' girl walked alone in crowded and unsafe streets.
Latest one, i was reading manga and couldn't stop, even the next morning i would have final exam, presentate my thesis for bachelor degree

🤣
thx god it went well 😛

I use the greatest part of my money for bought the manga since I was at the middle school, before it wasn't a problem, my parents gave the money to me, but now that I'm living alone it is become hard and I can't buy a lot of manga (and gadgets) like before if I want to eat and pay the rent (a shop assistant salary isn't very hig...)

In conclusion, I've put manga on top of my list of primary necessities things for life ^_^"

I driven all around town picking up one manga series because I wanted it that day,and I mean all around town and even out of city.
I also one time when I was in high school I made my dad pick me up one from the book store that he was around and he acted like he was so embarrassed.
Oh I remember having to order Hot Gimmick 3 from Viz.com because none of the book stores had it in, when it came out.
I used to also do manga runs for my friends because the book store I went to used to get everything in two weeks before every were else and I used to pocket the coupons or the free one.
I know I didn't do anything drastic. .

Does learning Japanese so I can some day read manga in the original language count...?

Other than that, probably the craziest thing is hunting down & buying manga from a seller in Japan, even though I can't read it (yet), because I love the series. 🤣

uh well, i can't buy manga because i dont got nowhere to store it, so I guess the crazziest thing that happened was that a virus got my computer b/c i was downloading mad manga, and i couldn't get to my computer for a month [depressing days]...

Craziest? I think everything I do for manga is pretty normal, like blackmailing certain people in my family to give me manga money. xD

Otherwise I got nothing...

I skip lunch at school to save two bucks a day to buy some yaoi doujinshis at the end of the month. 🙂
