My parents are okay with my collection, and my brother (8) regularly comes into my room to borrow stuff. He knows which manga he's not allowed to read (the stuff with lots of violence or nudity or whatever I'd get yelled at for), so that's all okay. Sometimes if my mom finds me reading Hellsing or Saiyuki or something really violent, she'll sit me down and ask why I find it entertaining, but I've bought it all with my own money so she doesn't bother me about having it in the first place.
My friends are all proud otaku as well, so when they see my manga they just say "That's all?" My collection is punyyyy....Less than half a shelf, including my DVDs :p |

She'll ask you why you find Hellsing entertaining? Tell her "'Cause it's good." And what kind of manga does your brother like? Yu-Gi-Oh!? Naruto? I don't know what your mom would think of this but if the little guy like mystery stuff, show him Case Closed. Me and one of my fellow otaku buddies were watching the movie in his basement when his brother (10) was down there. And it turns out he really likes Case Closed now after seeing that. Same with his big brother. And you gave me an idea with your mention of Hellsing. When I go to my grandmother's for Christmas Eve(If I have to), I should bring nothing but my Hellsing collection. My Hellsing books, my Hellsing DVDs and then, when no one's looking(Which is a 1-1million chance of that happening), pop in Hellsing and have my little cousins watch it and while if they're like getting weirded out by stuff like spoiler[Alucard shooting Sera then biting into her neck afterwards. Or that young vampire couple making out while covered in blood], just sit there and laugh. Let me tell you, I'm usually a pretty nice guy, but I can be quite a little bastard when I have to. But that can be my way of getting back at them for the Hell they have put me through every Christmas Eve. Get their little hellspawn even more screwed up than they already are.  . AHHAHAHAHA..AHAHAHAHAH! Oops. Sorry 'bout that.

Why the blue hell do people have to be so narrow-minded? |

Hmm.....I may just consider Monster sometime. Next time I go to the doctor's, I'm bringing Air Gear, Aoi House, and maybe Bleach! |

Good God, Man! Don't you know by now?! It's because we have such miserable little lives and we can't find any enjoyment in anything! And because of that we have this desperate need to make those disgustingly happy people (or at least those who are satisfied with their lives) as miserable and as little as we are. Why should YOU PEOPLE be happy? Huh? Huh? Why should YOU enjoy life, friends, success etc.? Come on! Join us in tearing to shreds those nasty Happy People. They deserve it! |

I started reading my newly acquired Sgt. Keroro manga tonight, and my sister walked into my room and saw my reading it, she went totally crazy. I got to hear how much she loved watching the show back in Japan and how hilarious the series is. I had no idea that even SHE knew about this show. But I'm glad, because that means it'll be no problem bringing this series into the house as an anime when it comes out over here

This is exactly the reason why some people are such jerks. They aren't happy and it drives them insane that other people can be happy, especially if what makes that other person happy is something that they think they can't have! Never let the jerks of the world win! Remain happy by tuning them out or taking revenge! And please, have a happy Thanksgiving! (Remember, there's always something to be thankful for, even if it's just a small thing.) |

Totally agree with you. I have a saying: live and let people live. I mean, everytime when I see people talking about something without having much knowledge of that thing, I get really irritated. People shouldn't judge things without knowing very well about what are they talking about. I hate most of all ignorance. And why can't people enjoy different things without having these horrible discussions I don't know. In a way, I am glad that the waitress spilt the hot coffee on that people (I mentioned a small incident before  )
Let's enjoy our manga and anime relentesly. At least this is what I am planning to do. I have long given up listening to what other people believe about it.

That's a very excellent saying. People who make fun of other people just for what they like are the biggest jerks in the world. And saying all anime is "Pokemon" or "Yu-Gi-Oh!" is like saying all rap is about shooting people and "pimping hoes" when there actually ARE good rap artists out there but they're hardly recgonized. The same with immenesly good anime. Example FMA, Hellsing, and Deathnote. They're very very good but they're not well known outside of the anime fandom. And if the One Piece sub(The REAL One Piece) can be considered along those lines since most dub only(if there are such people) think that's what One Piece is really like. Don't let the dickheads get you down. Be proud of what you like. And hope you all had a happy Thanksgiving. |

I really haven't had any big problems with things like this (especially not with my mom). My mom really likes horror movies, so she can't complain about the manga I read being violent. XP I don't read any manga that has enough sexual content in it to bother her, and if nudity is of girls she doesn't care since I'm a girl myself. I would like for my mom to start to actually reading manga though, because I think she'd like some of them. She doesn't like the fact that you have to read them right to left, but I know she'd get used to it eventually. I told her to start reading Fruits Basket because the anime doesn't have the entire story. Maybe she will eventually. I've started reading Monster, and I think she'd like that quite a bit if she'd actually read it (especially considering it's probably targeted more at her age than mine. ^^; )
There's not too much to say about my dad when it comes to this. I know I'll never get him to sit down and read manga. I think the only things he reads is occasionally some church stuff or the Bible... And he smokes so much I'm not sure he'd be able to read a book for very long at a time. I remember one time my mom told him she was gonna watch Naruto with me, and he said, "What's that?" I have vol. 1 of the Naruto manga, so I showed him that. He flipped through the pages and said it looked violent.  Also, when I came home from the mall with a volume of Monster, he kinda shook his head after seeing the title.
Surprisingly, my dad has watched a few anime with me. He liked Case Closed and some Studio Ghibli movies. He even sorta liked Princess Mononoke, which is very weird since he normally doesn't like anything with any type of demons or much violence. He said, "Eew" at some parts, but he didn't actually complain. I don't understand it, but Hayao Miyazaki truly is a genius. I should probably mention that I'm currently a bit sick, (allergies + probably a cold or something) so if my sentences in my post are weird, that's why. It's difficult to think when I feel like my head is going to explode and I have to blow my nose constantly. o_o; |

Well now I’m over the age of consent so no one cares what I read. But when I started my mom gave me a funny look when I wondered down the Manga aisle of our local Borders, but she was all right with it. After flipping through one her only complaint was “I wished you’d read something with more words in it.” But even after a statement like that she ended up buying my next purchase. She has the belief that as long it as a child shows interest reading it doesn’t matter what they read. She also knows Manga is what I consider light reading.
My dad didn’t even know I was reading Manga until he caught me out back lounging, reading a volume. He told when I was finished reading it he wanted to try it. I asked him why and he said if you can watch it on television you could read it. That volume happened to conveniently disappear because it contained questionable content I didn’t want to explain. Now that I think about it maybe I should let him read one of my other series. I also had a older cousin pick with about it but he always picks with me about stuff  so that was nothing new.

Thank you, Unfortunately, not many people follow this saying and thus we have all the cases above and probably there are many others that we don't know. The Romans used to say that people shouldn't judge what others like or care about and when it comes to manga or anime (for that matter), many people don't have a clue what this is all about. Thta's why I hate when I see so narrow perspectives on the world. Song_Bird wrote:
You should definetly let him read something of your mangas. Think what he may like and maybe you will corrupt him into reading manga.

From waht I read here some parents/families are just weird..
Like that of Psycho 101 It's just....It makes me want to scream and insult them..But I'm not that kind of person Just ignore them and do what you want to do. It's not their life it's yours. Shonen Bat It's almost christmas give your brother something that he'd like.Sorry if This was already said by some on else. My mom always says stop buying "Manga" save that money for driving lessons/clothes/shoes and stuff.: roll : One time I left my Shinobu kokoro [Yaoi from Blu] open on the table at the yuicy stuff my mom didn't even noticed it was yaoi or she just didn't said anything about it she simply said " Your manga is on the table"
So I think she just don't care what I buy..only that is a waste of Money and she knows the difference between cartoon/animé and manga.
My Little brothers reads also my manga. Only Naruto and Megaman NT warrior.. But I kick ass if somebody touches or take my manga without asking me..
Don't mind my bad english
