Greetings everyone, BlueUmbra here.

The first time I read a manga, I was 13yo, I discovered a new kind of comics, and thus, I discovered animes, a new kind of animation. I read hundred and hundred of mangas, I watched hundred and hundred of animes and I was happy.... for a moment.

Now I'm 33yo and I realise that I no longer like manga/anime like before. With my adult eyes and knowledges, with a better understanding of japan culture, tradition and mentality, I slowly saw that manga and anime don't align with my expectations and tastes anymore.

After 20 years into the world of manga and anime, I saw the limits and the reservations of those medias. Compared to occidental medias, comics, cartoons and shows, for me, manga and anime don't take risks, avoid shocking the mentality. It seems in my eyes that mangas and animes care more about viewers satisfation than telling a story, breaking rules, codes, taboos, or being cynic and critical. I guess it is explained by the difference of culture, language, mentality and tradition, as I am an french guy.

Each time I read a manga or watch an anime, 75% of the time, I see the same things, I spot the same clichés, I recognized the same characters behaviors/mentality. Time to time, I can find an exception and enjoy it, but for 1 good manga/anime, I have 50 clones of the same thing I already saw years ago.

This is why I decided to stop reading mangas, or watching anime, to instead concentrate to occidental/western medias, like cartoons, comics and webcomics, stories and fanfictions. Why, you ask ? I will answer with just one word : ORIGINALITY. I'm the kind of artist/creator that never makes the same things, I'm the kind of person that always try new stuffs, and I'm the kind of guy that want to be surprised by unexpected creations.

One chater ends, another begins in my life of entertainment. It will certaintly and entirely affect my NSFW works, but i'm willing to to it, in order to match my tastes and my expectations.
