Your parents' reactions when they see you reading mangas

[TheBlackTac 70]

They feel nothing. I guess.

[Aeyra 260]

Oh well, it makes those of us who learn Japanese all the more unique. I refuse to learn Spanish BECAUSE it's WAY too common. Spanish is too easy to learn if English is your first language. That's why I chose.... latin, I think? XD.... in high-school. I've got nothing against Spanish- but I'd prefer to learn something less common. :grin:

I don't get the option of Latin till the summer of my junior year. (dang it....) I have nothing against learning more unique languages, I just think you have to put practicality first. My list:

1. English

2. Spanish

3. Chinese

4. Japanese. Maybe.

I don't feel the need to be 'unique' in the sense that I'm doing something totally different. I want to be 'unique' in the way that I can perform better than anyone else in the class, and be on a level of my own. (the level I share with my friends. We're all in top 5 of the grade I think.)

The academic mindset (and my mom's prejudice against Japanese stuff- from when the Japanese massacred the Chinese 50+ years ago) are what makes her mad when she sees me reading manga. *sigh* I see her point, but... I get the right to chill out.

It seems like we all will let our children read mangas XD

My parents are busy these months so... they never knows what I'm doing ^^ (even I've read 16+ manga "Moe Kare")

Is it happy or not???

[Scar Akai 65]

My Parents say that reading mangas and comics is a waste of time. They are the type of parents which goes to your room, expecting you to be studying. well, That's why I tend to read the manga when my parents are not around or via my mobile phone.

It's just fine..

They don't really mind it at all...

[Detective Kudo 28]

[BUNNY DETECTIVE 0]

Heehehehe my dad got me in to anime. Well he like anime first. like Voltron and Saint sieya I think and my mom well I got her to like case close bunny for the win lol so I'm good for now

[Suika 1]

Me and my Dad only see each other in the kitchen, but he doesn't really care what I do. He even said I could invite people to lose my virganity in my room if I want xD.

He liked Dragonball Z and I might show him Hellsing next =3.

My mom is racist beyond belief, so she doesn't like it. But I don't live with my mom XD.

[CoolKid94 2]

My mom and dad generally don't care what I read, as long as it's not anything illegal. That includes manga (though I generally have to buy them with my own money). But when I got my mom started on Detective Conan, my dad made a very racist joke which I shall not repeat. But that's what you get from someone who doesn't read anything very much and can't understand that foreign stuff is just as good as local stuff. This from the guy that likes Mario Kart. Go figure.

every time i'm reading mangas my dad would say can't u read some good books but, i still read them in the night when he's not around...lol

[nis-aihara 15]

My mom sometimes won't let me read manga for the whole day. But that's OK. My dad never cares about me reading manga anyway. But I still can read it without them knowing.

[A L 217]

[saskiachan 10]

[Arima 58]
