So, obviously we've all had some EPIC manga addictions. Don't lie to yourself - you know you've been there. Whether it's needing to marathon through 200 chapters of Skip Beat because now that you've started, YOU JUST CAN'T STOP; or having to read the newest updated chapter of whatever manga's on your reading list the second it's released, you can't deny it - manga addiction is a real thing. I started reading Naruto back in high school and basically stopped when I got into university. But then one fateful night as I was dutifully procrastinating studying for my final biology exam, I watched a Naruto Shippuden amv. You know I just HAD to go back and start from the very beginning. I basically marathoned through 90ish chapters before I realized I was going to be royally screwed. As lady luck would have it, we had a snow day the next day. Some call it reckless, I call it destiny reuniting me with one of my absolute favs!
So I want to know what your craziest, awesomest, most ridiculous manga addictions look like. Don't be ashamed to share - I'm sure we can all relate one way or another 😛

Many times I've spent the whole day for a week waking up, going toilet, getting food and returning to bed with my manga, but I usually can't do that during the school year.
Once I built a fort out of blankets and hid inside because I wanted to read a manga that my sister had just bought and I wasn't allowed to read yet (We have this rule at home that whoever buys a book/manga has the right to read it first).
Another time I spent three hours in a manga shop pretending to look at the different manga, while I secretly read all six volumes of Attack on titans and then left without buying anything.
