The fact is, we spend about $80 a month on comics and related stuff, about $65 of that is your manga. You get far, far, far more than anyone else in the house and that’s not nearly the extend of your manga acquisitions. Barely a day goes by that some manga company doesn’t send you a package of freebie review manga, that something you traded for doesn’t show up, etc. Your $65 a month manga habit is barely the tip of the iceberg as to what comes into the house. We went through the shelves a couple of months ago and you gathered a big pile of manga you wanted to get rid of, except that you’re not really getting rid of it, you’re just trading it for something else. That’s not cutting down, that’s just swapping one book for another.

Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not mad or anything, you can get anything you want, there are no limits except what you impose on yourself, no one has ever told you that you can’t buy whatever you want to buy, but the whole “poor me” thing is really completely overblown and unnecessary. You’re not limited in what you can get, you’re limited by what you choose to get, nothing more, nothing less.
