I was never a big manga reader. I prefer books to manga. Many people prefer manga to anime because it much quicker/ less time-consuming, but for me it is the opposite. A lot of the time if I'm watching something, it's because I'm eating or taking a break from something else, and it's easier to passively follow an anime episode than it is to flip through a manga. Especially with action-oriented stories I have a hard time figuring out what's going on, in mangas The voice acting and music add a lot for me as well. Sometimes I just start watching an anime just because of the opening song.

I use my Samsung tablet to read manga. That probably the only thing I use my tablet beside scrolling on TikTok.

On one hand it is good because there was a lot of things that got you interested, you just needed some moderation when watching it. TBH I'd rather have a bountiful season, than dread a whole week for the next anime I am more or less interested.

Besides Frieren, I have Monster and Mushishi, which was recently translated to my language since it is either impossible to find or too expensive to buy it in English. Do you know if there are people that just buy single volumes? I mean, they might like the series, but not enough to buy a physical copy, however if a really good volume is released, they buy just that single volume? I'm curious, it isn't something I would do though.

Did any of the volumes of your Oshi no Ko come with any gifts? Like a small poster or a bookmark? Frieren has some nice shots I wouldn't mind getting a small poster as a gift.

That's a lot of stationery, how long do they last? I hope that you manage to keep that promise you made to yourself then!



Aren't you in a paradox then? You can only become independent when you stop being so dependent of others, well at least considering you want to be independent. Besides, even if you were to get married, wouldn't you want a partner you could rely on? You have to balance things out, know when to be independent and when to be dependent.
Since you mentioned food, why don't you start with that? When your folks are cooking something, offer your help, cook stuff that can be stored in the fridge for up to a week and than you vary the protein and any side dishes, if you like to eat different dishes everyday. Not all cooking is time consuming, you just need to know what to cook.


Sounds like a very independent step to me, we all have to start from somewhere, don't worry you will get the gist.


Don't be, "deficient" are those that think they know-it-all, life is all about learning. Didn't you learn to talk? To walk? Didn't you learn your subjects in school? And then in college you learnt more? Even in your job you had to learn the trade on how to work specifically there, didn't you? We are constantly being taught different lessons, but not all of us learn what is being taught.


Yes, you do, I hope that you feel like you are doing a good job!

I don't actually pay attention to the artwork or covers. I'm just used to reading quickly because I read a lot of books and since they don't have any pictures and just words, it just a habit. Since I also read manga on my tablet, I just have a habit of scrolling right onto the next page even before I finish reading the text bubble. While I am a fast reader I still take long to catch up or finish a manga because once I put it down and take a break from reading it I sometime end up not picking it back up until like maybe a month a later.

Sometimes you have to step away and then make a come back with what you are reading/watching. I used to read Prison School, I was so drained from reading the manga that I dropped it and only came back to finish it 3 years later, so it is okay to take your time, you can always come back to those manga/anime, or you can just drop them, that's okay too. Particularly, when I am overwhelmed by anime/manga, I like to watch movies or series, change a bit my perspective of stuff or maybe even doing other activities.

I considered Frieren with the same reasoning as you, I found it weird how an anime I didn't even consider when I was picking my seasonal animes had one of the best rating here so I gave it a shot, binge read the manga and now I even bought all the volumes out. Yeah, their release pattern is so weird, but to be honest I don't mind since I enjoy the quality of the story, if the author needs this time to write peak fiction, I am down. I mean, I even bought the volumes and I don't usually do that, I have now 3 manga series in my possession.

I see you are reading Frieren, great choice, take your time reading it though, we recently had a one month hiatus, 2 issues released in two weeks and we are in another break so, don't read it too fast

I'm the opposite. I watch before deciding to read the manga. One thing the manga don't have is the voice acting and the music. The reason I watch Frieren was because of the hype and Yoasobi doing the opening, but I end up loving the series. I do plan of reading the manga someday.

how have you been doing?

I think I saw/friended you through the MHA manga forum, but I don't remember exactly. We never officially met, I just like to friend a lot of ppl who seem to have similar taste to me, that way I can always check a bunch of people's lists for recommendations. :3 On the MAL homepage it lets you know which of your friends have upcoming birthdays, and I'm active pretty much every day, so I try my best to wish all of my friends a happy birthday! c:

happy birthday! hope u had a nice day c:

Happy birthday!

Okay, so I initiated the arm wrestle with you with that picture, now you're supposed to say Ready, in which then I reply with the finishing GIF after.
