Due to depression, I left school for independent study a few months into the 2010 school year. I had watched the Avatar: The Last Airbender series online and was looking for other shows like it. Then I thought of anime. Now, I thought I'd never get into anime or manga, but I remembered watching the first episode of Fruits Basket years ago before I really knew what anime was, and decided to watch that. I liked the show but had to know more, so read the manga (and absolutely loved it :D). Since then I've been occupying my at-home-because-of-independent-study freetime with some anime, manga (I've sorta run out of manga I wanna read; there's so many cliches), and now, drama. I've found that I much prefer Korean drama to Japanese, although initially Japanese things have always appealed to me.
