Well Japan has its ups and downs, too,I can understand things that might anger you here or make you sad, this motivates me to do something, but it may be different for you.


My Life Sucks- The kids I babysit have drooled, ripped or drawn on all of the cards and put the cars with the little people in the microwave!

I have no Friends- The cats have scratched and destroyed all of the DVDs!

I always owe someone- In fact I put two os in it!

I always ruin my clothes with Bleach!- The show is so dom suspensful I spill my grape soda on them!

But . . .I'll live.

That's very true.
I know that even Japan is not perfect. But it's seems somewhat better over there, in my opinion. Technology, fashion, etc. - Japan is in the top with such things.
People in Japan also seem to value things more. I admire that.
If I may ask, are you currently in Japan?

No. I agree, Japanese seem nicer compared to Americans, so I'd love to live there if I can live off being a mangaka with fluent Japanese.

I know theres a good chance ^_^

Until then . . .I live . . .in my crazy realm . . .somewhere in America ^_~

Yes, they definitely do seem nicer.
I wish you luck! If you know fluent Japanese, then you have a great chance. Also remember to follow you dreams no matter what!
The buisness world can be harsh, so don't let that stop you.
