Manga Girl

Yeah, parents definitely get angry at times. Wouldn't go that far though....In fact, I think I'd have fun cleaning that mass of manga..

Seriously an unemployed 36year-old is shameful.
Where did she exactly get the money for the manga, her parents?!
Parent took care of her and she want them dead, the parents could boot her out of the house for all I care.

They complain about it all the time actually. Thankfully I have my own room and I keep things neat and organized. It doesn't get in their way at all which helps a bit too. All my manga is kept in a large bookcase and all my figures (with the exception of my current fave. Figmas',) stay in my glass case. I guess the only complaint they have is over the perceived lewdness of some of the figures.

My parent's used to sell my collections when I was a kid because we moved so much, and all the manga took up a lot of our moving weight allowance... ^^;

Yeah, they thought I had too many Transformers figures (they take alot of space) and I couldn't have them AND Star Wars figures in my room. So, now I only have my favorites, the other ones are in boxes on the attic.

im not surprised to hear something like this happening, but what the heck, clean your manga woman...its not something to kill your parents for....lol, not excluding the fact that you should ever kill your parents in the first place anyways.

YES :P (as in parents complaining about my stuff :P) My dad had threatened to sweep my stuff off my table and trash everything before ^^; Doesn't really help tho :P I have a problem, I seem to need to have stuff laying around in order to work ^^; If I cleared stuff away sometimes I can't find anything x_x!

I think her Parents should have been more supportive of her daughters interest. They should be grateful to have an Otaku for a daughter. Personally I would love to have an Otaku for a son (we would watch anime together.and I wouldn't complain about his collection either, and buy him FIGMAS for his birthday) But it is a shame that she is unemployed and living in her parents house at 36. (Several thousands of Manga volume might be a bit too much for me though)

that is quite a huge ass collection....

My mangas are probably close to a thousand or more but not thousands...
I arrange them nicely in a big shelf, I guess the above problem would be settled if the manga was arranged nicely in a space-saving manner probably with shelves like I do or other alternative storage methods...

Nope.

Then again I don't have a big of a collection with figures.

My books they don't mind at all. Since...well....they're books I guess

Wow...36 with no job..I can't live with that

Nope, not really, but my mom gets really annoyed if I ask her *politely* to be careful when dusting my room so as to not damage my figures.....even though the other day she pulled of Narika's leg -_-
Why is it that some people immediately turn to killing others if they are asked to move themselves or their stuff in/out?

When my parents threw away my brothers manga collection when he was away at college, he refused to speak to them for a whole year. manga is srs bsn people.

I would be pretty furious too if my folks tossed away anything that belongs to me. Espeacially since all my stuff was bought with my own money. Not sure about alienating my own folks for a year though.

i'm already cutting down on hardcopy manga now as they takes up too much space. i only buy those i really like. digital scanlated copies on hard disk is so much easier to keep. ^^;

I get along pretty good with my parents, however my mom ask me sometimes that why, what for? so many figures "am I some sort of freak" why do you spend so much money in such a thing? it's annoying but that's it.

I'm curious why people are still posting this kind of stuff on 2channel. They should realize by now that its being monitored and that you shouldn't post something like this.

My mom can't stand Anime, Manga, or anything Japan-related. But she never got angry with me until I bought a figure.

My parents do worry a bit over my addiction, totally understandable, but as long as I keep getting good grades etc they won't say too much.

She sounds like someone who needs help. The woman clearly has mental problems.... i live alone, so my parents don't know my full extent of my otaku life..

Well, I not yet experience any from my parents though.
As I'm independent since 13 years old, didn't stay with parents since then.
Otherwise my parents will be muttering about my acquired liquor, wine & cigar collections while still under legal age ^^;

My parents don't really understand why I have 2D girls hanging from my walls, figures standing around and so on, but they tolerate it somehow^^

well my collection of the stuff i collect isnt very big so my parents dont complain about it at all.they only complain when i spend too much money buying it.the only time they really complain about my collection of trash is when i dont throw it out on time

I've already made it quite clear to my parents if they dare touch/move/remove anything from my room and break or dispose or it, they will replace it. Which would not be easy with some of my figures...
My dad always complains and grumbles about how his mother chucked out all his Captain Scarlet/Thunderbirds stuff.

Honestly, i think i have like one/two manga volumes and all the rest is DIGITAL (that's where the future is). It's SO EASY to just download and read on the comp which i actually prefer to "real reading". And yeah in my country it's pretty hard getting asian stuff which isn't SERIOSLY OVERPRICED ..same with comics. So no, i have pretty much nothing of manga laying around and SHAME on that woman for trying to kill her parents for fleeting moments of happiness.

My parents almost never throw books out. They have a house in the middle of nowhere with 7k or so sq feet of space. If necessary, I could take all of my old books and put them in a bookshelf there and no one would care; there is way more than enough space. Actually, in this case, I could probably fill up 4 rooms with manga and they wouldn't care all that much. After all, they're books. Videos might be slightly more problematic, but my parents really hold books in high regard. They have collections of useless old books that I think are junk, but well....they're books. Books are good.

i used to be an avid collector and i still do, although i am only merely collecting those that are ongoing like mahou sensei negima and fairy tail. Given my busy and hectic schedule, starting any new series is a no no.
that's not to say i am not open to any promising manga though hurhur

Hehhh... That is a bit much..

Looks like the japan police force is scanning the net finding anything fishy, which I believe is a good thing. ^^
If my parents disposed my collection without any notification given to me, I'd be certainly be furious but not 'that' furious, but I believe they're not gonna do that. ^^

My parents sometimes tell me to stop buying games or figures but I don't really care. I'll be moving out soon so tolerate. I only take one room so they don't care about space, it's more about my addiction or something. But I have friends and I'm not a hikikomori so I don't get why they get upset like that, meh.

I also work full time and have a good paying job, I don't smoke or do drugs and I drink rarely so all I use my money on is games figures, mangas and anime. I, however, would never think of killing my parents, or anyone for that mater.

The request was not extreme- I would honestly (attempt to) get a job before complaining about honoring the requests of the tennants of the house. It sounds like the woman had emotional issues as well. In her position- I'd do what my parents asked me to do.

A bit of clean up wouldn't hurt...
Also my parents never bugged me about having way too much stuff, only asked to keep things as tidy as possible.
But wanting parents dead for that reason... I don't think so, maybe theres more behind this story that what is given to public knowledge. (prison time = free food and bed and no parents to bug ya) ^^ just a tought.

My parents used to nag at me about my manga collection... Now they don't do that...

growing up, i've never had the displeasure of being told to get rid of manga, comics or figures. Got a ton of books and i keep them organized and tidy. They never questioned the content as well.

as for this woman, 36 (almost 40 ffs), unemployed and still living with her parents...something sad & fishy about that.

My father is complaining about the boxes of figures and gunpla that are "camping" in my room, I don't care about it because I only use my room to sleep and no one outside the house goes there

I wouldn't know since I have been revamping my collection and what characters, manga, and anime series I can get.

~gloom~

To date, after more than a year, my entire collection fits in a single box. And I mean one that fits on a shelf. ;_;

Never got real complaints about having otaku stuff around, mainly because my mom is an angel on Earth. XD

Though I guess she gets worried about me spending so much money on stuff like that.
She's very very understanding about my hobbies and stuff, and I sometimes abuse that side of her...

I'm not this messy too. Have lots of books, but they are all in bookcases, not lying around the floor.

But if someday my mom asks me to get rid of my books with some good reason (like the girls case), I'd do it without thinking twice, even thoough I love my book collection.

I'd take a bullet for my mom, so doing something like that girl did is just unthinkable.

UGH...... thats scary.

Ah, I remember reading this same article, but was in my local Sydney newspaper. They called manga "comics" otherwise the typical Aussie wouldn't know what they were talking about. They've left a few details out on this version of the article. THe money the daughter got to buy that stuff is supposedly from her grandma, not the parents.

Still though, the woman, if she's not employed, should just get married and let her husband support her manga habits. I'm sure there would be someone out there that would take her, even if she was ugly :P. I mean, she's an otaku! Some guys dream about having an otaku gf.

Oh yeah, my parents got tired of my dozens of plastic models, and stepping on my Lego! I'll admit, that stepping on Lego is rather painful.

As far as the woman in the story goes... that must be some good Manga!

My parents never complained about my stuff since I use to be a neat freak and keep my toys stored whenever not playing, they did complain about how much I spend on comic books when I was a wee lad. thank goodness they have no idea how much figures and gundams are these days. ^^

I'm pretty good at managing and saving money, and keeping things tidy, so I honestly have no idea how my parents would respond. That was a very reasonable request that girl's parents made though.

Of course, the reason I am what I am now is because of my parents' raising me. And the fact that my Dad threw out anything I left lying around in my cramped HK apartment when I was young.

WHAT?? are you kidding me? she not only was a middle aged woman, she was also unemployed and over spoiled by her parents who let her use THREE rooms of the house, and she wanted to kill them because she had to clean ONE? Teens are supposed to throw tantrums not grown people; and wth is an old hag doing with no job, can't get one?

Parents also are at fault letting their kid become this useless piece of flesh; they should've kicked her out when she turned 18.

Announcing your killing motives in 2ch... that is getting a little popular recently. Don't you think? What's up with her? Just for something that small, she decided to kill her parents? Sigh, what is going to happen next?

Okay!!
I saw this on ANN!!
I agree I wouldn't throw away my collections or sell them at all, personally I'd be furious too!!
But number 1, 36 and still living with your parents, uh, get a job and MOVE OUT!!
Number 2, What the hell were you thinking, don't plot to kill your parents, and post it on the net, the net isn't as anonymous as you think it is!!
Number 3, This is why I'm gonna be a successful otaku, like Danny, Ken Akamatsu, and many others.....
Number 4, this is why I don't visit forums, like 2ch

Dang. To want to kill her parents at that age over manga. There should be a limit to obsession.

For my collection, when I get leave I'm giving most of all my Star Wars collection to the church. My parents didn't ask me to. I'm doing it cause it cause I think I may have out grown them, or the latest works just ruined it for me. At least, I'll have more room for anime and videogame stuff.

As for my parents complaining about my collection. It does happen and is justified. That is also a perk of letting go of my Star Wars collection.

My parents never had any trouble with me about my collection. I told them that I would clean my room myself to avoid damaging any of it. That way, there wouldn't be any unnecessary conflict x_x

Hmm. My classical literature and school textbooks take up more shelves than my otaku-centric collection, although my shelves are deep enough for me to double-shelve small manga and light novels.

That's the spirit..NOT!

So far my parents never complained about my collection.

im amazed on how much manga/anime related goods she has...
AMAZING~!

why not donate to library???
1. you don't have to throw away all those nice issues (if she have some in collection)
2. sell it in ebay... i grantee some OTAKU out there will want some of those RAW manga from JP
3. (i thought japanese people are more cleaver than this... Why kill your parent when you can sell it for money.... )

Well, my mother does complain sometimes but I always counter that I could instead spend my time going to church instead. I live in a Buddhist household.

...that's just wrong...

I don't have a huge collection of anime or manga. My forte is games galore. My cousin in Colorado had a HUGE anime collection and he sold a part of it to help pay for college. It must be alot if he only sold a part of it.

The only problems i see here is the fact that she wanted to kill her parents AND that she is unemployed. Maybe if she had a job she would enjoy life a lot better. 3 rooms full of manga and VHS is fine but you also have to know how to keep your stuff organized.

And believe me, i think right now my mother would rather have me have my anime & manga scattered all over the place instead of having my old spraypaint & graffiti tools laying all over the place. I'm a retired graffiti artist. Over a month now since i last used aerosol.

1. Unemployed
2. Likes Manga
3. Has huge manga collection
4. Hates parents, and does not want to clear manga collection

My solution: Go open a Manga Cafe, charge people for reading your manga, and live in it. Looks like it solves all of the above problems xD And she can even get more manga with her profits.

Too bad she's a dumbass

My parents HATE my Gundam models @_@. They would always yell at me whenever they enter my room and how it's a waste of space, looks like trash, IS trash, and all that good stuff. I never hear the end of it!

Well mostly my mom complains, but not because I'm buying them but there's not much space for them...well even if it is a tad annoying I wouldn't take it THAT far...

she could have opened a library and lent manga to other people like cyclo said. what could be better than that? sheesh! cant understand why some people resort to violence when there are other ways.

After getting a flag today the mail (4x6 foot Taiwan flag), they question why I have many, and asked me to limit stuff in the future. I am not too worried, since most of them are small and also can fold quite well. Also make great presents.

How did she even fill up 3 rooms with manga when she's unemployed?? Her parents got it all for her?!

I ought to clean up my room... the manga pile that on the end of my bed fell on top of my leg when I was sleeping... -_-

pretty awesome that she has that much manga. i doubt her parents will kick her out because they know that she cannot survive on her own. as useless as she may seem, she is still the daughter of the parents. in our perspective, ofcoz we gonna say that her parents should whip her ass or whatever. but if we were her parents, it would be a hard choice.

other than that. my wife complains about having too much toys and books and etc. she thinks im wasting money on this stuff. i agree, but i can't stop buying figures and anime stuff.

If I don't leave things laying around then they are fine.

I'd kill her parents for 25% of her collection

similar to me,
http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u156/rapisus/bye_stuff/stuff0001.jpg

just one of my pack. i worked so hard to make its tidy.

Parents get angry with me when i took the computer's family to my room, then it became my :) But when computer was in the room hall, they complaint againts me that typing overnight was annoying when they're sleeping... who understand them?!

Nice to remember those days, now when it came up is all laughs, but never want to kill my parents because of that.

thats overdoing!! I always try to get good grades for what I can do now so I wont feel that bad about collecting plastic (figures) when my parents see them ^^;

That's just wrong... she should appreciate her parents more.
My parents used ot complain but, they seem to understand my hobbies now. My mother is even a fan of my Strarf Shinki ^^

I opted to sell some of my collectionables or give them to friends. Now I have only my Ultra Magnus figure and the old Commodore 64 RPGs...

My mom used to complain about my collection when I was a kid, but now she even admire my figures. I think that what made her change was the fact that now I pay with my own money.

I used to have problems with my mangas and those old tapes (especially dragonball series) when I was a kid. As I didn't have a bookcase or anything I stack them up in the corner and once my maid thought it was trash. My mum told her to take it out to the garbage but lucky for me I was just coming home from school and went all nuts about my stuff being thrown out. Now my parents don't mind my stuff, as long they are displayed nicely and keep properly. My mum fancy my Igunis the White figure :D

They don't mind; in fact my father borrowed To-Luv-Ru from me to read. He finished it in 20 minutes per volume compared to my three days per book. (It was in Chinese.)

Dude that was too much to bear....T_T

I used to have a whole table with an awesome lego castle in my room until perhaps 7:th grade. While they never did anything than threaten me, they sure were happy to help when I decided it had to go.
Still got all the blocks in a box somewhere, so it's not like I betrayed my lego or anything.

My mum doesn't really complain, she says I should slow down though, which I am...till I move out next month xD

Oh my gosh her collecting is like twice as big as mine! :O This is why i don't live in Japan... she's still living with her parents!! = not moving forward in life. :/
My parents like anime but hate it whenever there's a mess anywhere in the house. And we read completely different genres of manga. :p

My room is really small I have like a 2feet of walking space left
u...u I should consider clearing up some books

She is a neet you know, maybe she was just venting her feelings online without being too serious about it, you know how it gets sometimes people just take their trash talk to the next level with out it having any particular meaning

Go sell all that and MOVE OUT and find a job! Simple like that.

If she would have got a job maybe it could have been avoided

Wow, thats unbelieveable.....

That is what happend when you are a neet who can't control the temper and the normal situations in life.

O_o If the parents want her to move that stuff out she better do so ! Parents gave birth to her how could you wish for such a thing upon your own parents >_> anyway...if she cant bother ill gldly take a couple hundred volumes i have a massive unoccupied closet area!!

They should sell those! I mean she's 36 and still unemployed thats just wrong you know! If she was my daughter i would tell her to work or leave the house!

There's a thing called "shacks" in which you can rent by the month. Simple. Why couldn't she do that?

If that's impossible, why not have a friend or two keep some of the manga? Simple. Even I would have asked a friend to hold my manga for me.

well,my mum use to nag me around because she doesn't like mess house..but since i have my own self she do not complain anymore..instead of killing her parent,why don't she rent the manga out..she can make extra bucks through that..or sell the manga through e-bay..seriously i thought japanese are smart..maybe certain person only probably..

No my mom is pretty good at allowing me to keep, and expand my manga collection... I think I have a little over 100 books and I'm still going ^^

I already stepping down from buying manga , just buy several
once in a while but not as crazy as it use to be

3 rooms? Now thats just greedy. She could have avoided a lot of hasstle by just getting shelves and recycling the magazines...

ive stopped buying manga since it clutters with the amount of newtype usa mags i got

Thats just retarded to want to kill your parents just cause they ask to clear out a part of manga. I mean your probably not going to read all of the that so you can probably at LEAST get rid of some of them or think of something ELSE. Some people are really F***ed up...

Thats Crazy!
Manga is so expensive how did she do that unemployed probablt using the parents money, I would die of the guilt >_<
Poor Parents.
Since manga is so expensive in my mind i only have a few of them and just read the mangas online sadly.
When I was little I barracadded the door to my bedroom once because I didnt want to clean my room, but now I just do it on my own because now I hate seeing clutter without a purpose.
And now my clutter has changed from little dolls and doll houses to video game related items and schoolwork.
But I never want to kill my parents,

My dad gets mad about me ordering stuff because he hate's using credit cards >_>

My folks can't stand my stuff all over either; I've been hard-pressed to find various places to stash them in the meantime.
