I had a weaboo phase where my friends and I would argue a bit about which characters from different anime we’d get together with. I also wanted to seriously learn Japanese (not just using “kawaii desu” and “sugoi” and “baka” all the time) and wanted to move to Japan. Topped with wanting to be a manga creator… My interests have changed a bit and I wouldn’t still mind learning some Japanese, but I’d rather just visit Japan than live there. And learning the hellish schedule of a manga-ka, there’s no way in hell I would deal with that…
