If you asked 100 strangers in the street what their first response to the word manga was, what do you think it'd be?

Going further, if they mentioned a series what do you think it'd be?

I think it'd be Comics & Dragonball Z

In the streets of my hometown probably 1 or 2 out of that 100 would know what it is. All the others would say "Duh fuck is that bitch" o_o Lol

That's got to be the most obscure response :P assuming you found one that did know what it was, what series do you reckon they'd reference?

My money would be on Pokemon/Dragonball...

I thought this was gonna be how other people pronounce things.

Dunno what they'd say but pokemon/dragonball/naruto/yugioh would probably be the series.

Haha, that would be if I asked about Ninja Gay-Den.

@Ivy - See the hipsters around here wouldn't even know that much, they'd probably think you were foreign

The big Shonen Jump titles would probably be the first ones that jump to a lot of people's minds. (Naruto, Bleach, etc.)

Edit: Unintentional pun! ^__^

I only know about the .Hack ones because I had the (shit) games. These are the comics that are backwards, aren't they?

Hmm...the first thing that comes around is either Naruto, Bleach, or any shojo title I don't know.

P.S. Ah, Kaito-Kun, looking to 'jump' over your error? See what I did there?
