Ive been reading DC since I was 13, which was around 10 years back.
The first vol that I read was vol 8, borrowed from my classmate since I didnt have anything else to do in class at that time...
....And I kept reading DC, online, until up to this date. N suddenly I realized that Ive been spending half my lifetime following DC, with the full collection of the manga up to vol 63, huge amount of my comp's memory is loaded with its wallpapers n pics, and all its movies...sure enough, Ive spent TONS of money on the anime during these whole years!
Ive been through the ages when I was a younger sister to Shinichi n Ran... been at the same age later... and now Im obviously older than both of them.
Sometimes i wonder if by the time DC comes to its end, I might also read the manga together with my kids?!! Gosh, whadda heck?
I obviously declare i AM addicted to Detective Conan..
