Who here believes in the art of "Cosplay"?
~for those who don't know, cosplay, or cosplaying, is the art of dressing up in a costume to look like a specific character; esp. anime related.

I've been doing a lot of cosplaying and roleplaying (larping) lately, and there seems to be many people who enjoy it, and then several who despise it, saying how much of a freak I am.

So I am curious as to the percent ratio between the people who hate it, to the people who like it. Feel free to state your opinion in the comments below.


On other news, my top favourite cosplay right now are:
Near(Death Note), L(Death Note), Hatsuharu(Fruits Basket), Hikaru(Ouran High Host Club), and Kaito(Vocaloid). ~<3

Speaking of Kaito, my drawing for today!

M is for Manga

man·ga

  /ˈmɑŋgə, ˈmæŋ‐/ Show Spelled[mahng-guh, mang‐]  

noun

a Japanese graphic novel, characterized by highly stylized art.

Manga is typically read from right to left, as well as any Japanese novel. In Japan, novels of any sort are written vertical from top to bottom and read down.

I love the Japanese culture and I love how they are so different from me americans. I am learning their language right now, writing, reading, and speaking. "ko-ni-chi-wa" or in english, "Good afternoon!" Now say you were reading this Manga style.

 'ko'
 'ni'
 'chi'

 'wa'

This is how it would be written in a book.

I have a favorite manga called 'Fruits Basket'.

these are just a few of the books from the manga series 'Fruits Basket'. there are 23 in all.
