Your Parents!!

kelvintjy · Posted: Sat Nov 19, 2005 1:06 am Post subject: Your Parents!!

Did your parents ever get angry with you for buying manga? Did they throw away or burn away your manga? What is their reaction when you read manga?

This are some of the question I to ask.

For me, they were angary with me for buying manga and they called me childish and won't mature for reading manga. They even throw away all my manga when I was 12 years old. The book they throw away are Doraemon and Dragonball.

Wait, wait, wait.

Your parents were angry because you were reading when you 12? Heh. You can say how well they encouraged your education. My mother would kill to have me read when I was younger, but I luckily discovered books when I was 12.

I remember they would buy want to buy books for me, but the second I mentioned "graphic novel," they flipped out.

Yes I know what you meant but right now I am 20 and they called me childish for reading manga now. Now I have a few collection and they are Fist of The North Stars, Rave, Ramma 1/2, Ragnarok, Demon King, Love Hina, GTO, MAR and Doraemon ( Adventure series).

Though this topic is related to manga, I feel this thread is more suitable for the free for all section. So I'll move it there.

My dad totaly supports me reading manga, he knows its not assossiated with childness.

On the other hand, he cant tell the difference between fan service and hentai~ he gives me dirty looks........

at first my parent say it such a waste to buy manga and anime, but then when I showed them the manga I buy (that time it was dragon ball seasons)
then they actually like it...
now when I want to buy manga/manga I just ask them for financial support...

Parents will never understand why we read manga.so tell them that reading manga is a good way to spend our time.it can help us relax our brain after studying.After all,which would they rather like,a child reading manga or a child addicted to drugs? Twisted Evil

my parents are somewhat impartial about me reading manga.

though whenever they get mad, they tend to bring up that im waisting time reading comics...
