have you guys ever started picking up a skill because of a manga?

Same, read Windbreaker and just finished Red:Blue and they made me want to pick up kickboxing again.

Who says this site ruins people, look at us bettering ourselves for the sake of being like fictional characters

its not like, directly from it but after reading yubisaki to renren I decided to learn asl. but like. i just like learning diff languages so it gave me the idea for the next one sort of? but I guess the credit does go to it

Pottery because of this one bl LMAO 5 years later and I can confidently say this was the best hobby I’ve started

unintentional love story no? anyways, for me it's painting from naked color, guitar from pink heart jam, and coding from cut-over criteria. been painting since forever but naked color made me love it again (for some reasons).

no bcs me too, like literally. i've been trying to learn (a)sl in the past, because it has always been very interesting to me, but then i kinda didn’t have time, energy etc etc

recently i've read these (highly recommend)…

YUP

OMGG I LOVE THESE TWO TOO also if u haven't read it yet, I rec this one its superrr good https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/hidamari_ga_kikoeru/

exactly! these fictional characters may have set a high standard for men (for me anyways) BUT they are also encouraging me to have hobbies xD

wanting to learn asl because of comic is so cool !!! this is me but with mandarin

pottery is so cool ??? i wish i can do pottery or sculpture tbh !! wanna see the result of producing and shaping something by my own handsss

you and your multiple hobbies are so cool !!!

Exactly! You get it

I literally started going to the gym again bc of these, hopefully I'll be as ripped as the characters after a couple months lmao
