Oh my god, of course you only read Shonen, you half-baked meathead. How about you stop with the manga and pick up some real literacy? Oh wait, a book doesn't have pictures, so I guess it's out of the question for witless photo lovers like yourselves who have no sense of media literacy.

Oh, honestly, how do people like you do it? Just "read" panels of mindless, repetitive, egregious fighting over and over again. I endear your low attention spans. Truly, I do. It must be magical being impressed by the most simplistic forms of idiocy. You people are no better than slug eyed mouth-watering neanderthals.

If by any chance I've changed your miniscule, insignificant curiosity, why not read some Edgar Allan Poe...actually, how about something on your level. Hmmmm, oh, I know! Dr Seuss.
