I'm a huge anime and manga fan.

I know as a child, I was really interested in becoming a manga artist, to create my own stories and illustrate them and present something that people would be interested in reading and looking at as well.

I'm really interested in independent publishers and memes and mini comics. But even before that, I was interested in Japanese manga and anime.

I love comic books and I love anime.

My kids love anime, but I don't show them the really graphic stuff.

I've always loved Japanese legend, anime and manga.

I've always wanted to be a manga-ka, so I'm doing what I love.

I'm perfectly fine with the fact that lots of young folks are wanting to watch anime and read manga. I'm perfectly happy that they are doing things online, reading there as opposed to traditional print magazines.

Anime has been good to me. I made and continue to make very little money at it, but the undying, feverish loyalty of the fans of the genre has been such a life-changing influence for me that I wanted to do everything I possibly could to help give something back to them.

I take time to watch anime. I don't know whether I'm allowed to, but I do it anyway.
