Reading manga in public...

page 1 of 3

Just wondering any of you guys aren't ashamed about reading your manga in public - like in school, at work, or out in the town?

For me being shy about having people see what I am reading being foreign, I usually keep my reading at home privately.

Me too!Especially if there are *ahem!ahem!*embarrassing or gruesome or slightly hentai scenes in the manga...^_^"
My mom will think I'm either a pervert or lesbian or terrorist or plain mad. :D

I read manga in public. Just was yesterday.

Its the same thing as reading a French book, or comic book, or even browsing your game or anime sites at school or at a cafe. I didn't really care, its not like there is anything embarrassing about liking anime.

never read an actual print manga , other than that one time . so , yeah , i dont really care

I do it all the time. In fact I often bring two volumes because I often have a lot of time with nothing to do. However, I behave exactly the same when I bring real books to read so it may just be a weird habit I developed. I'm only embarassed by it if, as you mentioned, I happen to be on a page with questionable content (certain volumes of Love Hina I never take because of the cover art XD).

I read my Manga anywhere i go when i have time to read it. i mean think about it. if people didn't want you reading japanese comics in public they wouldn't sell them.

The only time I read manga in public is at school because in the library we can check out manga.

i love reading manga in public ^-^
i always do it in school
and sometimes its even yaoi :)

I don't mind manga reading in public. People at school know I like manga, and I don't care what strangers think of me.

You're quite lucky to have a library with a manga section. ^_^'

reading manga in public doesnt really seem disturbing. as long as its not ecchi or hentai ^^
in fact i feel a sense of coolness while reading in public ^_^

my friends often rent mangas from shops and we all read it together. once in A-level our lecturer finished teaching and theres some free time, a friend just took one out from his drawer and read it. his desk was in front of the lecturer's.

Our school's library has a small manga section, and apparently, once in a while, you can find people check out like... 15 books(?) at once and this isn't just one person doing that. I don't mind reading it in public, it's just the same as reading a book, well... they are books...

Not really. Usually in my class, when someone pulls out a manga, everyone would want to take a look at it too. They really get amazed by it! :D

i do it almost everytime new manga comes out. last time i read it in the lab. not that i've graduated and working, i do it in the office.
my colleague said " u read comics? like my son.." for me it sounds like a sarcasm, since he's older and he meant comics are for kids, but what the hell?
man, i like manga and i'm not ashamed of it~
let's read manga in public more~~

woot, i do it everytime i buy a new book. :D
and sometimes it even gets passed around. o_o
lol, & there was once i was reading on the bus,
and the guy standing next to me was even more engrossed in MY book than i was. LOL.
XD

Yeah, im shy about it, but i try not to look it. since when i read i like to be alone to absorb in it, so i dont like to in public that much, only if its like, a new release and i cant wait! or something.

I don`t have any problems with it! My friends know that I like reading mangas and watching animes!

I don't think we need to be shy when reading manga in public... I mean, it's just like a book, I couldn't see anything wrong with reading it in public.. except maybe if it's porn.. XD

Eh... i don't have any manga... but i wouldn't mind reading in public at all... >.> its like reading a book only with pictures in it lol

i don't give a damn about what other people would think about me.
what's wrong with doing it anyway?
loving manga isn't anything you should be ashamed of.
manga! manga! manga!

don't care, i just read it when i'm bored, especially in class (still get excellent test scores). hahaha.

I read manga everywhere I can xD Though it gets kind of annoying when people keep asking me "OMG why do you read your book backwards?" and I have to explain it over and over again <.< Thinking of that, I wouldn't mind manga getting a little more popular over here in my country.
