The Journey Begins

May 22, 2016

I distinctly remember that it was back in the third grade when I came face to face with my very first Anime. 11 years have passed since then, and here I am still sitting like a little kid in the front of the tele hooked on to the series in front of me. And if this wasn’t enough, my obsession led to the habit of reading the comic version cause I had to know how it all ended!!

Thus, began my journey where I literally worshiped everything and anything Japanese

It went to such a point that I started inculcating their habits in my everyday life be it in the way they sit or how they eat, learning the script just so I could sing along the opening and ending themes while it played on T.V. It went from mugging up the lyrics of various songs to started sketching the characters and to dreaming about how magical it would be if I went on a date with each and every hot guy I came across in the books

At one point in my life I wanted to become a Mangaka, it was a difficult road which required a lot of skill and dedication and I was pretty sure about my decision but I guess my life had other plans. I always thought that this obsession would fade as I grew older but it only became stronger. It is still my dream to translate a Manga in my life, be is a single chapter or even an entire volume and I know that I will make it

Being obsessed with something isn’t necessarily bad, it makes you learn new things and explore the world. I am working towards mine. I still sit and read tons of comics over and over again cause it my happy place where I can escape to during difficult times, and it never fails to amaze me
