Do you read manga in public?
>>154402488
In full view of other people? Once, when I felt I shouldn't be ashamed of my hobbies. But usually I'm on my phone or in a corner at the library so no one can see it anyways.
>>154402488
there are no mangas to be read in public here anon
I never leave the house long enough to justify taking along a book.
>>154402979
I never leave the house.

Black Cat. Kid has good taste.

>>154402488
No but i browse /a/ in public
>>154402925
>mangas
>>154402488
I want to bully this nerd kick
I read HnK on my kindle and pretend I'm reading literature
>>154402488
>Do you read
On my phone ya, not like people are staring at my screen
back when i was in asia, yes.
>>154403415
The CIA is
>>154402488
Yes, i read it through an app on iphone.
Also, I saw someone in their 20s watching a harem anime in a jeepney, If you're reading this be ashamed of yourself you fat fuck.
Reading in public is attention seeking behavior
No. I feel too self-conscious and I can't concentrate on the book if I'm not at home.
A long ass time ago, I started reading my first manga in the metro on my way home. It wasBerserk.Never again.
>>154404020
>I
hey wake up
>>154403156
I browse /a/at work
>>154402488
No, but only because I'm almost never idle in public places. If I'm out of the house I'm working, driving, shopping, or actively participating in some kind of recreational activity.
I download manga and LNs on my tablet before a flight or long car ride. Get the brightness low enough and people will be none the wiser.
I don't read manga in general.
>>154403200
>a borrowed word has to follow the rules of the mother language
>>154402488
Yes and play handhelds too.
Nobody cares
Back when there was a Borders where I lived I would read manga in there. Was fine except weeaboos would start speaking to you if they saw you.
>>154406353
Lurk 2 years before posting again.
I download manga to a reading app on my phone while I'm at college and have used that while in bed or on plane flights.

>Was fine except weeaboos would start speaking to you if they saw you.
I hated that but I also remember always seeing navy soldiers in their uniforms reading the manga for some reason.
>>154402488
Not only have I read manga in public, the manga that kids reading was actually the first manga series I ever read. And I read it in a library.

t. illiterate Burgerclap
If I owned physical manga and if I ever left the house I'd have no problem reading manga in public so long as it's not something that could get me in trouble like TLR or Kodomo no Jikan. There's literally no reason to be ashamed of reading manga, it's nowhere near as bad as watching anime on the virginal-basement-dweller scale, even in the west. What's real bad is the faggots who watch anime in public on their laptops/tablets.

Navy are the biggest weebs.
Long deployments man.
When I was in highschool I read a little on the bus, thinking no one gives a damn anyway. Stopped doing that, I barely even read manga anymore
It's either books or I stare at the window/my phone like everyone else.
>>154402488
Not anymore
I have to pretend I like Marvel or DC or face social pressure
>>154407289

What?

he's a lesser man who is enslaved by his idea of others' perception of him
>>154402488
Read my copy of Mobile Suit Gundam The Origin Vertical Volume III in public.
>>154404710
This. I don't understand people who actually spend time just being in public places. I'm there for as long as it needs to take care of whatever business I'm there for and back to privacy as soon as possible.
>>154406353
Not every plural in English has an s on the end, dumbfuck.
Do you say rices, too?
>>154406478
I miss going to Borders as a kid.
>>154406612
I wouldn't have minded so much but the weeaboos would always have super entry level taste. Although to be fair, since it was Borders the stuff in there was mostly entry level anyway. I mainly used Borders to re-read GTO and Love Hina.
Some of the staff there were weebs too but that's to be expected. Someone working there got into a long conversation about how much they loved Bleach, I didn't have the heart to tell them I thought it was shit after rhe first few volumes.
>>154404662
I browse /a/at the gym between sets
Only in a library with my friends.
>>154407086
>Kodomo no Jikan
I've read this in public and felt no shame.
>>154402488
If I had the occasion, yes.
>Nisekoi
Poor kid, someday he's gonna get some taste.
>>154408444

Sometimes I'm glad that I'm autistic enough to insult people's favorite anime to their faces.
>>154402488
I used to read MPD Psycho at school under the desk in first row.
I got caught, obviously.
>>154403651
Its too late to hide anything at this point so may as well expand my folder in the CIA.
When they send the death squads they'll have to read up on all my autism first.
>>154406930
>Black Cat
Oh, shit, I thought that was Chitoge.
>>154408810
I used to be like thay when I was a teenager but now that I am an old man I can't be arsed to get into pointless arguments anymore. Especially over manga of all things.
I suspect I'm unlikely to run into someone IRL who likes what I like because I've got quite narrow (and arguably shit) taste. Although I am one hundred percent sire I saw a girl at work wearing the Crows Japan sukajan which was pretty surprising (she must have been French).
>>154407925
Not him but yes.
Yeah, every once in a while. I do take note of where I am, where I'm sitting, basically, whether or not people'll able to see what I'm seeing.
I.e., If i'm sitting on the bus right where a dude behind me would be able to see my screen, by accident or no, I wouldn't read fucking To-love ru on it. But i'm cool with reading something like, say Golden Kamui or Kingdom shit like that.
>>154408809
That's Black Cat though.
>>154402488
Yes I have, I've also read comics in public and played handheld games in public. I'm an adult, the fuck do I care what others might think of me?
Only normie ones like Attack on Titan & Watamote
