There's no way those words actually left his mouth, is there? Not the six word long hipster creed. No way! But he did. The tag is right there. Read it and weep, Lonely Birthday.
Bami takes a second to look totally offended, not that Yotsuya will even see, and then takes a little while longer to pick a good leaning spot. Yeah, this shelf of neatly stacked books should do the trick. The calm intake of breath signals what is sure to be a wonderful first impression all round. ]
Last time I checked, it was still considered rude to assume someone hasn't heard of something before you know them. But don't worry. You haven't offended me and you don't need to keep your favourite series hidden away. You know, even if you think you're the only person who cares about it then you still couldn't be more wrong. What about the mangaka? Or the inkers and assistants and editor who depend on the series to survive in this harsh modern world where everything costs money? What about the book store where you buy each volume, huh? Think before you speak, unless you're fine with hurting the entire industry.

Don't think it makes you a good fan either. It doesn't. There's no way. A real fan would brag about their favourite series until it becomes popular, and then they'd hate it. Especially if no one has ever heard of it! Isn't that the ultimate goal of obscure manga fans? I've been reading since the first chapter or I liked the one shot better because the heroine was cuter or Remember when this manga was good? are much better opinions to have, because even if a new fan does pick up the series when it's popular, they will never be able to usurp your position as the Alpha and the Omega of whatever your favourite manga happens to be.
[ Worth noting: he did stupid voices for those fake quotes. ]
So just tell me what it is. Unless it's Bleach, or something. Because then I'm just going to laugh.
