Some of my actual friends know, yes. I am not embarrassed they know or would know. I have... 5. I haven't told a couple of them just because the subject never really arose. I'm not hugely into it, anime especially, it's mainly just something I do to pass the time.
The other people, who I claim to be "friends" but are just my tools to pass the time (my real friends don't live near me anymore) I have not told. Those people are prejudiced and I would not tell them, because I would be mocked. Not that it really matters if I were, but I kind of use them. So... Yeah, once they're not needed anymore I wouldn't care.

This probably sounds harsh but the "other people" really are a pile of douches. I blame it on where I live and my age group. I hope when I get into University people are more mature and open-minded.

Well it depends which kind of friends.

My equally nerdy friends? not embaressed at all. The cool cats who I do sports with or drinking buddies? just thinking about it makes me blush

I'm embarrassed to let my Japanese friends know, because then they'll think, "God, all Americans can think about when they think of Japanese is manga and anime. Wannabes."

I don't want to be thought of just as a girl who loves the Japanese culture and language for anime... Although it is a big part.

Why would I be embarrassed about manga? <_>

Nope, but I do get quite a bit of crap about it.... then again, I also get crap for playing too many video games and not acting enough like a girl, so whatever.

Nope, though most of them don't read and have no clue what I talk about half the time XP Maybe I wouldn't flaunt the genres I read though.... Nut my best friend knows all my guilty pleasures

Nah. My friends don't really care about that sort of thing. I'm pretty much the dork of the group, so they just roll their eyes and grin. *shrugs*

Heck no! All my friends read manga too! What's there to hide? XD

Well...people in my country here, even youth are in for a bit of surprise if u tell them you read manga(s)....but watever is it...no embarassing at all.

Not embaressed at all, I tell everyone that I love manga, anime and cosplay. Sometimes I tell that I love manga right after my name like an introduction. Also more that half of my friends are otakus so no worries

I love vampires.

Nope, but the place where I grew up, a lot of people didn't even know that manga/anime existed so when I explained it to them what it is, I always got the question: "oh so you watch Pokemon?"
While I never watched that show cause I don't like it at all.

So tell me, what's it like living in a constant haze of stupidity?

Hmm...
I never thought about it.
I just read whenever i want, and all of my friends know about it.
So i vote for "NO"

Well I also have a something I like, and my friends also have something he/she likes, even if it is
something crazy, I would still think of them as a best friends.

If i want to read something than i read it, who cares what others think or say. If they are my friends they accept me like how i am.
In middle school, we only had Marvel an Dc comics, mangas wasn't available, i was the one who brought the comics and passed around in class.
