froggy

I've never even considered being a white collar because of my painful relationship with math too. And being a blue collar kind of feels off the table as well because of my weak constitution. But even if I had a stronger body, I don't think I would enjoy working as a blue collar because of it being male dominated field. My appearance makes me seem very demure, so I really hate it when people, not just men, overlook my abilities because of it. So I have to ask, is the typical blue collar workplace really that sexist? As of right now I work in childcare, which is fun because of the kids, but my coworkers are absolutely unbearable at times. Its my first job and I'm learning a lot of new skills though, and I may be blaming the uncomfortably of those frustrations on my coworkers. But still, even the men/boys who take care of children stare at my butt, belittle me, and leave me to do the menial tasks of cleaning. Even the girls my age who work there ignore me and make fun of me for my countenance. Sometimes I think about quitting, but then I remember that its probably worse at other places.

Yes! Let's! I really enjoy interacting with everyone on the forum, so I wouldn't mind reaching out more(*^▽^*)

Chuuzuri Shoujo by Gulu Gulu! My fab song by them.

I certainly plan on updating it! About your fantasy, I've heard a little from my Japanese friend who's studying to get into a good company, and she said that working in Japanese workplace can be very rewarding because of how great some can be at teamwork! Although there is black companies and also karoshi (death from overwork) problems in Japan. There are also many companies that are great to work in as well! Other than that, my least faborite part of working would be the commute... most communters are packed into the densha (trains) like sardines, plus the perverts who take pictures. But they usually target high school girls. So it might not be all warm and fuzzy, but there are also many ways it can be fulfilling as well!

Every since taking Japanese 1, I've pestered my sensei about taking the class to Japan, and this year he finally relented! After 2 years of scheming, I'm super excited to hang out with my friends there! The itinerary is going to take me all over Japan, though I won't say where for obvious reasons, so I get to go outside of Tokyo this time around. Sadly, we won't be going anywhere near Nagoya, so I asked my sensei if I could stay in Japan longer that way I can travel there to see my crush again! I'm kinda nervous about taking the densha and flying home by myself, but I'm sure I can figure it out. Last summer, I took the Densha everyday to my manga school with my mom, and it wasn't too bad. Although, if I have to go anywhere near Shinjuku station by myself around 8:00am in the morning, I would just give up because that station is ginormous and has so many floors, escalators, and platforms. Also, at 8am is the rush hour for work, and is filled to the brim with white collars. That's when you see the station workers take huge plastic panels to push the people in the train doors so they can close. My mom actually saw that happen once, it was crazy. My mom actually saw some crazy things. One time she was eating at a small Indian restaurant in Nakano, Tokyo and two men covered to head to toe in tattoos and piercings came in and ate at the table next to her. I wasn't there to see it, but my mom said they were very intimidating. She thought they were Yakuza but I have no idea. I mean it would've been normal to see people like that in Harajuku which is full of fashionistas, but this was a hole-in-the-wall in Nakano. My mom explored a lot more of Tokyo since I was in my classes for most of the day, so I'm looking forward to see more this time around. Anyways, I'm super grateful for my part-time job that way I can pay for all of this, although my dad is going to help pay for extra expenses I'm covering most of the cost. That's all really.

Phoebe sounds like an angel (@o-o@) Growing up I had a tuxedo cat, and she was the grouchiest grandma. I swear when she would sleep with me every night it felt like there was a boulder in the middle of my bed! I was scared of the dark back then (I still am) so having her was worth the lack of space in my own bed, and the sniffles. (v_v)/ Also, shamus is the perfect name for a hedgehog lolz The cat cafe in Japan was really magical! But it was still like 800 yen every ten minutes, which is around 7 dollars. So I barely had time to stick around, but they did give out a free drink included! Now that I think about it, the cafe was really popular! The cafe super close to the gigantic 3d cat billboard in shinjuku! Right outside the east exit of shinjuku station! \(0O0)/ Ofc! I joined the forum like last week I think, but still, if you have any questions or anything like that you can tots msg me :D

I've heard about that before! Its understandable in some cases, but in this fictional manga, the girl cousin was in high school and the main character was in college when they fell in love (mostly one-sided on the highschooler's part). Although, technically, it was during the epilogue where they were both married adults that it revealed that they were together. So it was a slap to the face when I read the epilogue after such a good read because there were other love interests besides the high school cousin. It kinda came out of nowhere, but then I remembered all of the subtle hints throughout the manga that the highschool girl was interested in her cousin. I didn't think that the mc would return those advances when she became an adult, or whatever happened between the time when the mc graduated from college (last chapter) and the epilogue.

hiii /ᐠ - ˕ -マi'm froggy, and im also new to the forum too! nice to meet ya! I love cats, like so much. Sadly, I'm allergic, but my brother has a cat named shamus and I always attack him with pets whenever I go over! (its worth the sniffles I get after). My dream was fulfilled when I went to a cat cafe in Shibuya or Shinjuku (I forget which) and feed the kitties there! They were so cute when they followed me around because I had food. The highlight was when I hung out at the top floor and there was a small manga nook where I read with a cat in my lap )>u<( ^^ Buddy Daddies was so wholesome, I also recommend it as well (0o0)

I agree.

Ouran High School. As much as a classic as it is, the relationship between the always twins irked me among other weird things as well. Adding onto it, was when I read another work of the same mangaka called Behind the Scenes, and the main character ended up with his younger cousin...

Usually I enjoy fanservice, but when its of young-looking characters I can't help but cringe. I know that there's definitely people online who like lolis for the wrong reasons, but I think its a spectrum of degeneracy. Ranging from, "Oh that's a cute girl," to just pedophilia. In the past, when I watched "K Project", I really enjoyed Kushina Anna's character; Who is undeniably a loli/lolita. In that case, her outfits weren't scandalous, she acted appropriate for her age, and was never animated doing any fan service. (At least from what I remember I watched). However, I think that's more on the casual side of the spectrum, what I think people are trying to get at is the normalized, not-so-casual fan service that appears in lots of popular animes. Sometimes I'll just be watching something a friend recommended to me, take Dragon maid for example, and bam; weird angle and suggestive scene. It just irked me, so I dropped the anime. Other times I skip the scene or episode. I do that whenever there's random incest in my favorite shows, like BSD, JJK, or Saiki K too. Sometimes I wonder what goes on in the animation studios when they decide to put in the energy to draw allat.

Cold and windy. Not pleasant to bike to my classes in.

My all time faborite anime music is the Lain op and 1st Naruto ending. Lain Naruto 1st

I'm so hyped for the anime!! I've been following the manga since 2021 and collecting them as well. It's reason I got into drawing my own manga too. The seeing uniqueness of the art-style always motivates to work on my art, it's definitely my top 5 manga! So, I'm honestly so nerbous/excited to see how they adapt it to animeee I certainly plan on it! :D

I agree completely, yuru camp is on my list now (@-v-@)

Yukari's antics always make me laugh lol. Their dynamic is so funny. Though, the example of how not to act is how I feel about Tomoko from Watamote! I re-watch it whenever I have a stressful social situation coming up to remind myself how to act personable (-w-) I've heard of that anime! A few months ago I picked up a clear file of Ena from Kinokuniya. I didn't need to know which anime she was from to see how cute she is >o<

yaya! i love osaka so much! shes my faborite chara, do you have any faborites? (OvO) In my opinion, the second season of durarara isn't better, and the plot moves very slowly... The first season is an absolute masterpiece tho (>v<)/

Got leftober chimichangas and mint ice cream from the fridge. d(*v*)b

Jus read the first chapter and I'm hooked. Kuu-chan's and hinako's relationship is so cute, and I especially love hinako! Can't get enough of moe characters.

hiii. i like how your story sounded, so I decided to write a little excerpt for fun. I really like writing stories, but i neber finish them, so I relate to wanting to get down your ideas. For some reason, it felt easier to write your story then my own. Anyways, I hope you like it FazeBarusu. Super Interesting Isekai Story That I'm Definitely Not Writing To Procrastinate Folding My Laundry Shirou Arikawa felt his eye-bags deepen in dissatisfaction as he stared at the leaderboard of some fps game. His username read “_xxdarkkingxx_” in the fifth row down. Fifth fucking place just for pulling a all-nighter and spending the last of his allowance on a lucky box. He knew his life was pathetic, but it's not like he enjoyed being reminded of it. An overwhelming feeling of defeat overcame him, and Shirou banged his head on the desk he sat behind. Anxiety came in with a sneak-attack and rolled a crit, slamming in his gut as he fully realized the consequences of his actions. Frantically, he checked the time on his phone, then on the timer near the wall of his cubicle. The number slid to 9:59. “Fuck!” He swore under his breath. In a little less than ten minutes he’d be kicked out of the pc café he’d been living in for the past three months. That is, if he could get his mom to send him money in time. Hurriedly, Shirou rang her number, again and again and again… To no avail, he beyond fucked at this point. It started off as a hobby with the friends he’d made in his first year of high school. After class, they’d hit the cafes, play some games till late, then go home. Wasn’t too big of a deal until his second year. Shirou’s two friends, “Insert name” and “Insert name”, parents started going ham on studying. It was to be expected, since they were the ones skipping cram school to play games together. Nonetheless, Shirou couldn’t help himself but slip away into fictional worlds as the reality of his friends growing away from him and the impending doom of going to college became too hard to bear alone. Alone is how he handled it, and that’s what he’d continue to do in the next moment. Feeling the cool air of the night invade his thin jacket. Shirou shivered in the cold, clutching his backpack close to him. Staring into the crowd of people, flowing like water to get to their destination. One that he could only hope to find but was now forced to seek. vv (reference for the room he'd been living in)

My name is Froggy. I've neber really been active on forums, but I decided to try it out and see what happens. For a self-intro, I'm into drawing manga, as well as collecting my faborite series. Which are dokuro-chan, dandadan, and girl from the other side. Some manga I want to collect but don't have the money to spend on is goodnight, punpun. I can't thinkk of any other manga, all I know is that I really want goodnight, punpun. As of right now, I have a job, but I'm saving most of my money, aside from essentials, so I can see my best friend/crush. She lives and Japan, and I'm hoping this summer I can go there and sing karaoke with her again. Anyways, I think Ima leave this here bc Im tired of writing.
