Is an Otaku all about how much you own? So what is an Otaku exactly?

     Many Otakus brag about like " I own the whole entire series to Bleach!" or "I have Ghost Hunt on DVD!" To me, it doesn't matter bout how much you own. It's about your love. I don't own a lot of DVDs or manga books. But I read them when I get a chance, I watch when I get to, and I talk about them a lot! Being Otaku is actually like giving yourself, your time and spirit, to Anime and Manga. You don't necessarily have to devote your entire time. Just read or watch when you have the time.

     Not many of my friends watch Anime or read Manga. So yes, you may feel alone at some point for no one knows what the heck you're talking about or what in the world you like. So it can be hard to get presents for you. But for me, it was hard to accept that some of my friends actually like Justin Bieber of One Direction. I just worked around it and tried to find things that we're actually in common. 

       I sometimes like ask if they want to try Anime or Manga. But they're reply is sometimes like "Isn't like cartoon porn?"  "it's basically cartoons right?" "isn't a comic book?". I get super angry at that. But I can't be such a drama queen over those kinds of matter. So I just explain softly, before I murder them. 

    I often lose my self control whenever I watch my favorite show or read my favorite manga. You can let yourself lose. Just not around people for they might feel uncomfortable. -_-

    So that's what an Otaku is all about. (Well part of it. ) Be a fangirl/fanboy all you want. LOVE to all of you Otakus! <3
