My best friend is just like me in that we both love manga, anime, and videogames. We both like writing stories, drawing pictures, and coming up with random story ideas we know we'll never write.
So, I'm lucky in that respect. It was the Pokemon craze that brought us together as friends, so I've known her about eight years now. We've branched out since then, and both love Fullmetal Alchemist, and Tsubasa. She'll buy Candidate for Goddess, or Negima, and I'll buy Tsubasa and Fruits Basket, and then we read the volumes off each other, so we save money! Haha!
The rest of my friends...well...some like anime, some don't really care (my other friends seem to think they're 'maturing' by going out drinking a lot...hm. Whatever.) I have some friends who are borderline anime lovers, and one of my friends is obsessed with Les Miserables...so...
...We're all a strange bunch.
I have another friend a bit like my best friend. She's not afraid to admit she still sometimes watches YuGiOh. Haha. I've got her hooked on Fruits Basket, now I'm working on getting her hooked on Tsubasa XD
(Actually, I already have one friend hooked on Tsubasa. xD I just gotta work on the others!)
