Easily the rival in the early Pokémon games. Being so annoyingly cocky and full of themselves just to get wiped by my party's first slot Pokémon every single time... Bruh, just get a grip on reality, would you?
Ocean "currents"? I ain't never seen no goddamn "currents" in the ocean, boy. Have you? They just be sayin' these things to keep us distracted from how their undloadin' trucks full of illegals in are country to steal are jobs and sell drugs and live off of welfare!
Wie wo was "neutrum"!? Was haben sich die Regenbogenleute da jetzt wieder ausgedacht????? Es gibt 2!!!!! Geschlechter, MANN und FRAU! Das ist einfache BILOLOGIE!!!1!
Care to show me the way to that link I don't have the time to go look for right now but don't want to forget about over the next couple of hours?
Better make that $100 trillion (a rough estimate of the world economy's nominal value) to make sure you don't cripple our whole civilisation, as it would allow you to pay for basically every single company on the planet, all of which would suddenly have to invest a lot of money to move at least some of their IT infrastructure over to a GNU/Linux equivalent, much of which may not even exist yet and would have to be built from scratch.
~2000€ would be an absolute game changer for me.
Golf is equivalent to licking an entire countryside so nobody else can use it. The only activity in human history that used more space for less people were the Apollo moon landings.
The more important you question is: why would you base this decision on what other people say, instead of just doing what you feel is right for you?
You overlooked the most important question: who gives a fuck?

The catholic church uses a cross, which could be understood as a reference back to when, according to their beliefs, Jesus christ died on a cross to relieve Christians of their sins, which would've been almost 2000 years ago by now. That's quite a throwback if you ask me.
I'm pretty sure some of my T-shirts could win this if we don't take this whole "daily" I aspect too seriously. There are a few from my teenage years that are still in good shape and still fit, which I've had for literally more than half my life by now.
That "daily"-aspect makes it really hard though, since there are days when I don't even need my house keys. Lighbulbs die after some time, so they ain't it either. And would wardrobes count as "items"? I tried thinking about this question so hard for way longer than I probably should've now, and got to no unanimous conclusion so far. But in the end, it doesn't even matter, so I'll just go with: probably my glasses
I knew both, but just learned what FOSS stands for from this comment section
I allergic to that. Is there an alternative called NiTriL, by any chance?
My cooking. I love to cook, be it simple meals or extravagant dishes, and everyone I know loves to eat my food - which is exactly why I'd never ever do it professionally. I really don't want to risk losing the enjoyment and relaxation I get from cooking. Being in the kitchen for an hour after i came home from work is my way to unwind after a long day.
Question of the Day #9: How popular are Mangas where you're from?
As for my city, we have decently sized conventions and even a dedicated Anime/Manga-style "cultural exchange mascot" courtesy of our biggest book store.
It's still hard to find people of my own age to talk to about this hobby lol
Question of the Day #8: What was the most impatient you've ever been for a new release in a franchise?
It's quite easy for me: anything Dragon Ball related before Super started. DB/DBZ/DBGT were my childhood and even when it wasn't exactly on my radar later on in life, I never stopped wishing for just one more new story, one more fresh entry, one more adventure for Goku and the gang. And as much backlash as Super is getting for various reasons, at least it scratches that itch.
(The question came to my mind because my allergies totally K.O.'d me over the last few days, so I didn't find the energy to keep up with the daily question posts.)
Question of the Day #7: What's the most "weeabo" thing you do on a regular basis?
I have this habit of pushing my glasses back up in the classic Anime-protagonist-way. I'm not even doing it because of any fandom, it just evolved naturally from even before I startet getting into Manga. I only realized it when my wife pointed out that I'm correcting my glasses in the same fashion as Gendo Ikari from Evangelion.
Question of the Day #5: Have you ever colored in a Manga page?
I gotta admit, when I was younger, I definitely did do that to some of my favourite panels on occasion. Let's just say that at some point, I realized that I definitely lack the artistic skills to do them justice.

Mit Speck-Sahne-Sauce, dazu Kartoffeln und Fisolen. Immer wieder ein Traum.
Question of the Day #4: Where do you buy your Mangas?
I've only ever once bought them online because it was an edition that was exclusive to this retailer.
Apart from that, I'm always buying locally from the same store, from the nicest Manga selling lady in the world. She's been running her section in that very store for as long as I can remember, and we get carried away talking about all kinds of things more often than I'd like to admit. That's why my 5 minutes of "I'm just gonna pick up [whatever] real quick" and generally last about 30 - 45 minutes.
Question of the Day #3: Do you eat snacks while reading?
My wife is the type of person who is so focused on the story she's reading that she'd completely forget about eating or drinking anything for hours, even if she prepared something beforehand. Meanwhile, I just can't really relax if I'm not snacking something, sweet or salty, while reading.
(On a side note: our roles completely reverse when playing video games. I could spend the whole day just playing and not eat or drink a thing)
Question of the Day #2: Which character would you most love to see make a cameo in another Manga?
Personally, I'd just love a one-shot about Asuka Langley Sōryū and her EVA-02 landing in the world of early Attack on Titan. That'd be epic.
A close second would be a short story about Saitama beating up the entire Dragon Ball universe because of a misunderstanding (kinda like the concept behind the Granolah arc).
Question of the Day #1: What got you into Mangas?
Let's start off this series of questions with a big one:
What got you into Mangas in the first place?
For me, it was Neon Genesis Evangelion. I loved the Anime and it, naturally, left my still developing young teenage brain very confused. So when I learned that there was a "Comic" about it, I was convinced that it was going to provide some additional info the show left out (like books usually do). I didn't like the black/white aesthetic at all at first and stopped reading halfway through the first volume initially, but picked it up again a few weeks later and practically devoured the whole series over the course of the next few days.
It didn't really give me any of the answers I initially hoped for, but it definitely hooked me onto this whole "black and white comics for adults"-vibe I got from it back then. And I just never stopped picking up new ones for close to 20 years now.
Now, let's hear your own background stories!
Safe to say, I'm a little proud of myself
Maybe I don't know quite as much as I could after >500 days, but I'm proud that I'm able to still motivate myself to work on it at least a little bit every day nonetheless.
Neue Community: [email protected]
A community for all things Manga Discussions, questions, recommendations, critiques etc. Let’s talk about it! No matter if you’re an occasional reader, hardcore fan of a single story, write and draw your own stuff, or are just interested in learning what it’s all about: Come on in and let’s have a g...
Für alle, die sich gerne über Mangas austauschen möchten, von Gelegenheitslesern bis Body-Pillow-Kuschler
What are you currently reading?
I've recently picked up Berserk again. It's one of my all time favourites, in my Top 3 at least. I don't think I'd have the love and appreciation I have for Mangas as a whole today if it wasn't for the incredible work Miura delivered with this epic tale.
Also, Attack on Titan, since my wife bought the entire collection last week and why not read it if it's so readily available?
First things first: Welcome!
Hello and welcome to your new favourite place to talk about all things Manga!
I'm looking forward to (hopefully) see this community grow and prosper in the future and maybe learn a thing or two (or a thousand) on the way.
As for the second reason I'm posting this, apart from just saying hello: If there indeed are people on this platform who are interested in contributing to this community, additional moderators would be more than welcome, even if there's nothing to moderate yet (and most likely in the near future). Better safe than sorry, as they say.
