I forgot I was a member of this club...and after all these years, I'm trying to be social lol.I'm Tina aka Teeny. I love manga and light novels. Currently manga-wise, I'm reading Saint Young Men, Fruits Basket, City, Barakamon, My Life as an Villainess/Avoiding Bad Ends...
I usually read fantasy or slice of life manga. But...I like anything really.
Hello, I'm Danielle! I have only recently begun reading manga, and I love to watch anime! I thought I'd join this group in order to see what manga other people are reading! Thanks for having me!
Hi, I'm Pashmina! I started reading manga a few months ago and I am OBSESSED. (With anime too!) Favourites so far: Death Note (<3 L), WataMote (Tomoko = me), No. 6 (my best friend LOVES it!). Can't wait to meet others in this group!
hey! i'm larissa, i love reading mangas. my favorites are death note, tokyo ghoul (only at volume 10), ousama game and happiness. i also like watching anime but i don't do it that much tbh (i think the only ones i ever finished are death note and another)
Hello everybody! i'm N.E.C.C. I love anime and i started reading manga like a month ago or so (except for Bakuman, i read that one when it came out).Hope to meet a lot of people here and have fun :D

Some of my favorite amines are Tokyo Ghoul, Little Witches Academy, My Hero Academia, Seven Deadly Sins, Deathnote, Attack on Titan, Naruto, Fruits Basket, and Sword art online. I absolutely love anime and manga. I am so in love with some of these characters I would marry them if I could. Looking forward to some conversations!!!
Hello, I'm Yoz0ra. I love to read many books, but manga is my favorite. I don't usually don't have much time to read, but I do my best to try to get some reading done.
I dont think I've bothered to post here, so My name is Tim, I love anime and manga. Some of my favorites are Ranma 1/2, Shaman King, and Monster Musume.

Thanks. I did not know that, I will have to look for it sometime.
Heya there my name is Betrayed Sans
Hi, my name is Amelie. I love watching anime and some of my favourites are Fairy Tail and Sailor Moon. I’m also really into Studio Ghibli films. I enjoy reading manga, as well as, fantasy and YA novels in my free time. Looking forward to having discussions in the future with you guys :)
Hi Amelie nice to meet you and nice Levy picture you got for your profile. :)Just out of curiosity is your manga interests similar to your anime choices or do you like to read a variety of topics? Also is that New Sailor Moon or the classic butchered Americanized Sailor Moon you like? :)
Hi DocThanks and nice to meet you too. :)
My manga interests are similar to my anime interests, and I often read series I’ve watched. (eg. I’m currently reading the Fairy Tail 100 years quest after watching the Fairy Tail anime). The Sailor Moon series I watched is the 1992 animated television series, and I’ve also read the manga :)

Nice. Although a lot of titles were changed to make them more kid friendly (and market friendly) I like to see that there are others that were introduced in that period and got to see how anime changed thanks to early experiments in anime editing. :)
I still have to finish reading the Sailor Moon manga I have and now they re-released the series in glorious sparkly covers so I must resist the urge to collect them again in over-sized hardcover bliss. :)

Although you probably got the language thing covered I did see a book on Amazon the other day about this subject so I thought I would share. :) Japanese the Manga Way: An Illustrated Guide to Grammar and Structure
Rumiko is one of my classic favorites and I can imagine although slow going her skill at humor brighten's up your lessons. :)
Hi Anime Wierdo and no I didn't think being called that was a weird request. Since you requested it I was thinking it is an Anime Weirdo request (since that's the name you want to be called and you requested it if you follow my tired mind through the gates of logic.) :)I see you have a tendency for cheerful and sad anime. I am a kaleidoscope of interests myself and I am not scared of those titles that grab onto your feels and dangle on them either. :)
Ren wrote: "Hello everyone! My name is Ren and I live in Japan, though my first language is English. I love all sorts of manga. I am trying to improve my Japanese literacy so recently I have been reading throu..."Do you really live in Japan? How is life there right now?

Hi my name is Marissa and one day in my lifetime I want to visit Japan! My favorite manga's are... Fairy tail, any Pokemon series, and My Hero Academia! Any Good Manga recommendations?

Me personally I have not watched all of the anime but I did read the whole manga and a lot of the side stuff :)

Heya I"m betrayed sans uh... I'm not any good at introductions I read Trinity Blood and 07-Ghosts I hope we can all be good friends
Betrayed wrote: "Heya I"m betrayed sans uh... I'm not any good at introductions I read Trinity Blood and 07-Ghosts I hope we can all be good friends"You did well enough for an intro. Welcome to the group. :)
Hi! My name is Nicholas and I like to read manga and watch anime. It's not the only thing that I'll read, but it's definitely one of them. Nice to meet you all! :-)
Nicholas wrote: "Hi! My name is Nicholas and I like to read manga and watch anime. It's not the only thing that I'll read, but it's definitely one of them. Nice to meet you all! :-)"Hi Nicholas. You primarily read graphic books like manga and comics, like light novels, or perhaps you like to read GNs while working through regular books? :)

Hopefully, you and your mom can come to a compromise:) I work with a lot of kids your age -I'm old/29- whose parents are adamantly opposed to graphic novels in general and I always encourage them to compromise. I did that with my mom (who still rolls her eyes to this day) and she agreed that it's better that I have this "hobby" versus getting into trouble or a 'less educational' pursuit heehee. Good luck:)

The most popular excuse parents give is that there is nothing educational about comics or "picture books" (their words), but I tell them a story is a story regardless of format. Manga/anime in general always has at least one moral lesson in their stories, so it's not like it's amoral (another parent issue). If you still don't feel comfortable speaking with your parents about this, this group can be a great ally as well as (if this applies where you live -I'm in the US) reaching out to your local librarian (that's what I am^_^). You do what you love to do, never compromise.

What books were you reading/anime watching before you were banned? Or is it because she was afraid your entertainment was affecting your school grades?

In the mean time study well and get a good job you can afford all sorts of Anime and Manga when you get older. :)

Some of the kids are so spooked that their parents are watching I have to reassure them that whatever they read or watch in the library will not go any further than me. You do you and I will have your back.
I, personally, would never have watched Tokyo Ghoul that young (even if it was around) -I was not into blood and gore like that back then .I love it now though!!! If you haven't seen it yet, definitely check out Blood+. It is amazing, bloody, and has some good twists. If you want/need any more recs, feel free to message me!
Hi everyone! はじめましてI’m Yazarah (well thats my author name lol)
I’ve been on Goodreads a while but never thought about joining a group, this one looked friendly and not so serious as some of the others so decided to try it out.
よろしくお願いします
I mostly like fantasy, magic, supernatural and horror. Some of my all time favourite mangas are Black Butler, Death Note, Ajin and Darker than Black.

Hi Yazarah. Nice to meet you. :)
I don't think the majority of groups are too serious (or for the matter active) so don't be afraid to branch out into other groups too. You never know...you may be the fresh blood needed to reignite a groups passion into action. :)
Pulls out translator...Ahh you said Nice to meet you too and Thank you. I guess you are welcome though you were the one nice enough to come here. :)

Thank you, I'll try checking out other groups too, I'm just not very confident with social media most of the time (I legit only have Instagram) so I just need to dive in.
Hehe sorry for the Japanese, just wanted to spice things up and I'm learning Japanese at the moment.
