I want to get a full impression of your interests (at least as far as you blog them), and as any reader I'll read as long as I enjoy the overall experience. No need to cater to special tastes. This is your platform, you're the taste master ;-). Anyone who doesn't like it can go and ... do whatever (which is why my place is the mix of anime, books, manga, memes and groans about work or family it is ^^. By the way: privacy password - in case I haven't told you yet - is temuair1, I only need it so my students can't read my rants, if they ever connect me to that site).

I'll see if I can find BECK; I just hope I'll be able to follow along with the Japanese. Oh, and perhaps I ought to put some kind "Estara Warning" at the start of any post that is of questionable content and might possibly offend you. What do you think? :wink: Wow, Estara, you seem to put more thought into your comments than I have ever put into any of the posts on this site!

However, once I start reading something I tend to read it completely, or not at all, so scrolling past it is just not an option ^^.

I hadn't thought about otaku manga from that perspective before. It certainly seems like otaku freaks (I use that term in the kindest possible way) in Japan can indulge in their fetishes without the risk of ridicule or alienation. One the one hand, it's good that they're free to engage in their hobby of choice, but on the other, every time I go to Akihabara, the asshole in me wants to give all the otaku guys wedgies and tell them to grow up. Estara: In all honesty, Judy thinks its stupid when I post stuff like this too, but she tends to just roll her eyes and scroll past it without reading it. :P Maybe this weekend I'll try to stop by Book Off and see if they have BECK. I've never been one for manga, but since you seem to recommend this one so much, perhaps it's worth checking out. dr Dave: That’s interesting. . .
