If you have a boyfriend/girlfriend, do they know you read manga? Did you tell them or did they found out by chance? for those who don't have one, would you tell them or not? Why?

No, manga and anime are my dirty little secrets.


That was sarcasm. Which was probably unnecessary, but I don't understand why anyone would ask this question. Did anime and manga become something to be ashamed of liking when I wasn't looking?

I'm not sure manga should really be something to hide... well, unless you are a major fujoshi like me who has hoard upon hoards of BL manga...

That... and if you have hentai DVDs underneath your mattress...

I don't have a boyfriend.
But reading manga is nothing to be ashamed of.

I think this topic is about manga. Manga and those comics are completely different.

Not all the time. ASAMIYA Kia drew for Marvel or DC... but yes, Japanese comics have more variety and target audiences.

Really, I don't know about that. Very interesting.
I do read some shonen manga, they have their own superheroes.

________________

I ask this because my friend got dumped after his girlfriend found out he read manga. She said that it's childish.

Well then, she's a mean ignorant biotch (I don't know her, but I have a feeling)

She obviously hasn't been introduced to works like the Ghibli films etc.

LoL, you may be right. She was annoying (I really didn't know her that much).

I do have a boyfriend and he knows i like anime but doesnt know i read manga its my little secret. He caught me once but he doesnt know i read it as a much as i do (like everyday). None of my friends know i like except for my close ones its not really keepin it a secret its just i hang with the "cool crowd" and none of them would relate

Yea, she knows. She doesn't care.
Around here it's not uncommon.

I don't have a boyfriend.
But if I did, and he'd break up with me just because I read manga, he's not worth my while.

________________

Yeah, because its a ridiculously dumb reason.



Why keep manga a secret, most anime are adapted from manga, and manga is comics?


I dun't get it...
