[QUOTE="God's Beard!";155766679]Don't even pretend to be hot stuff, kiddy. This is the big leagues. You've got guys in here that read the entirety of Ippo in two days just to say it sucked. We're talking guys who spent an entire summer reading literally 2,000 volumes of manga ripped from goddamn IRC channels. People who joined scanlation teams because they ran out of content to read.
You don't know how much manga is a lot until you've woken up one day realizing that the well has been poisoned, feedback loops of shonen and moe and smut have ruined the community and you only pop in and out of the thread to warn people not to become the person you already are.
Because you saw the warning signs for culture poison. You sleep in your bed at night, telling yourself that you did everything you could to stop the wave. But we all know that you didn't. You were too busy reading one-shots and shojo when you thought nobody was looking because that's the man you let yourself become.
That's when you've read a lot of manga.[/QUOTE]
I spent a good part of my unemployment 2 years ago reading Sanctuary, Path of the Assassin, and Samurai Executioner. Fuck, I probably went through 20 gigs of manga in those 3 months alone.
Not to mention at the age of 17, I got so obsessed with Vagabond I took an hour train ride to the nearest Japanese library in my country so I can borrow Eiji Yoshikawa's Musashi.
My favorites are classics and I collect Osamu Tezuka's mangas, because that man is undoubtedly the master of the art.
Fuck, I even kickstarted Barbara. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/digitalmanga/publish-osamu-tezukas-barbara-in-english
Don't talk to me about not being obsessed with manga son, just because I haven't gone on about which seinen or josei I love.
