Why do GaijinManga?
After experiencing some of what's out there in the job world, I realize that most of it simply does not appeal to me. However, the day-to-day activities required just to get our act together before Sakura-Con has been a stressful, yet rewarding process. I would love to see GaijinManga make money and I would love to be in a situation where it pays for my life and it becomes my only legitimate job. The truth is, I love manga, anime, and Japanese culture, and I love writing, and I love drawing even though I can't do that well, and I like seeing other people love these things too. I enjoy writing Spectrum and wanted it to get popular or at least seen.
Basically, it's fun, and it has variety, and it actually stimulates a lot of the parts of my brain. We're a bunch of regular young adults trying to make our way in the world the way we want to, and each day we get closer to that goal. I am proud of what I have accomplished, and I will continue to be so, and I think that is definitely hard to find in a job, so I'm grateful for what we have here.
