i kinda hide the fact that i'm in LOVE with anime when it comes to socializing the only friend i know as of right now in real life that knows and also likes anime is my best friend we've been friends since elementary school, other than that all my "gal pals" are either the girly make up girls and one of my friends is "ghetto" and me i'm just average and play "slow" type character when i'm around my friends when i'm with other people im "shy" to them or they are scared to talk to me because i give attitude but its not really me its just the way i talk to people i don't mean to intimidate them
Actually and surprisingly my best friend is obsessed with it. She carries 30 manga volumes in her bag, and my other best friend hated reading until I introduced her to manga and her and her cousin loved it. My best friend from 2nd already knew about anime and loved it. Basically we were a crew of anime and manga people. That I was thankful for, for finding friends who understand.
