It's quite easy for me: anything Dragon Ball related before Super started. DB/DBZ/DBGT were my childhood and even when it wasn't exactly on my radar later on in life, I never stopped wishing for just one more new story, one more fresh entry, one more adventure for Goku and the gang. And as much backlash as Super is getting for various reasons, at least it scratches that itch.

(The question came to my mind because my allergies totally K.O.'d me over the last few days, so I didn't find the energy to keep up with the daily question posts.)

I have this habit of pushing my glasses back up in the classic Anime-protagonist-way. I'm not even doing it because of any fandom, it just evolved naturally from even before I startet getting into Manga. I only realized it when my wife pointed out that I'm correcting my glasses in the same fashion as Gendo Ikari from Evangelion.

I gotta admit, when I was younger, I definitely did do that to some of my favourite panels on occasion. Let's just say that at some point, I realized that I definitely lack the artistic skills to do them justice.

I've only ever once bought them online because it was an edition that was exclusive to this retailer.

Apart from that, I'm always buying locally from the same store, from the nicest Manga selling lady in the world. She's been running her section in that very store for as long as I can remember, and we get carried away talking about all kinds of things more often than I'd like to admit. That's why my 5 minutes of "I'm just gonna pick up [whatever] real quick" and generally last about 30 - 45 minutes.

My wife is the type of person who is so focused on the story she's reading that she'd completely forget about eating or drinking anything for hours, even if she prepared something beforehand. Meanwhile, I just can't really relax if I'm not snacking something, sweet or salty, while reading.

(On a side note: our roles completely reverse when playing video games. I could spend the whole day just playing and not eat or drink a thing)
