Well for me it's okay.It won't make you insanely popular but no one makes fun of you about reading manga.(Even though it's only 2% people in my school reading it.)It's like the only people in my school who read manga are nerds(no offense)If anyone says naruto is coolest manga ever then I'll have to kill them(not really it's just there are other better manga out there) 😃

seems like a repeat topic...

goes to look

but in case its not, then no, at my old school, not many people liked it.

at my old school there was like a group of wierdos who were the only people who like it (other than me, i never told anyone) and they got made fun of all the time, for manga as well as because they were pretty wierd.

in my new school (2 weeks so far) i havent met one person who even knows what manga is.

As far as I know only 3 people (myself included) in my old school liked manga, and one of them only because he really got into the Death Note anime and wanted to see if the manga "was as good".

I'll be starting uni next week, so I hope to add more information to this soon (and also to find a few manga/anime fans).

I'm 25... but when I was in high school back in the dark ages we had a lot of anime fans and no manga fans that I was aware of. Not even my anime geek friends that turned me onto anime to begin with read manga back then. DBZ had just hit Cartoon Network, though, and man... Goku was freaking everywhere. It was ridiculous.

College was a different story. The Japanese department was full of either Harry Potter fans (I'm still not sure why they chose Japanese) or anime/manga fans. We even had an official manga club division of the anime club. I suppose there still weren't that many of us, though.

Well.. it was more a case of manga being non-existent. I didn't really know what it was about either at the time even if I'd seen an anime or two.

I'm not sure, but I think that people is a bit more knowledgeable about manga nowadays... there's at least 1 or 2 magazines for sale in stores. Not sure really, I just read scanlated stuff. (I'm living in Sweden)

my college has Anime Club and Graphic Novel Club (i think this club is to talk bout all graphic novels from american comics to japanese mangas)

Nope, don't even know anyone who reads it at my school. Mainly why I like this place so much. 😃

Eh, well I haven't really heard much anime/manga discussion at the university I attend, then again I don't really talk to a lot of people. I have noticed there are a lot of Asian girls on campus, so I'm assuming there must be a sizable number of manga readers.

Tree + Taco = Tree taco.

The high schools I went to were so large that it's impossible to say that any one thing is cool. It all depended on who you hung out with. At my school in VA, I hung out with the geniuses (don't know how I got in that group, I can't even spell it...), so Dickens was cool, manga was not. In FL, however, I hung out with the band geeks and otakus (which was almost synonymous) and manga was definitely cool there.
I'd never even heard of manga in middle school (which is kind of funny, seeing as a year and a half of my middle school life was spent in South Korea...), so I'd have to say that it was "just, like, totally uncool" there (to quote the girls I used to hang out with when I lived there).
At my college, I know of maybe one other manga fan (who happens to be my suitemate) but I'm pretty sure there's more. No one batted an eye when I was reading Skip Beat in the kitchen (except Joanna, who wanted to know if it was good).

I am a breath of insanity in a world of chaos.

Ahh...nope. Manga = Nerd/Geek at my school -__- I wish it wasn't though, but hey, I can't change it. I don't even know anyone at my school that does read manga. >_>

When I graduated, that was around when all these freshmen marching band... dorks.. started coming in, calling each other narutard names. Before that it was only me and my friend, and we didn't tell anyone. Partly because we read BL.

We have a manga section in our school library! No, seriously. We made it happen =P
Well, it's mostly for the kiddies, but there's a fair chunk of us, I guess, in most all the grades.
That's what happens in "nerd" schools, I guess XDDDD

I guess.
Practically everyone reads manga/watches anime here.
Though not all.
It's nothing to be shamed upon.
More than half of the student body are Asians too.
Feels just like home.
xD

Nope. We do have manga in the library though.
