How Manga Saved My Life

[@takoholic]

I can huge relate to this title. Fruits Basket was my first and favorite manga. It was a series that got me through the darkest days of middle school and high school. It helped to shape the person I am today. Plus now I love manga plus anime so much! Amazing video again!

[@themangoose]

I'm glad there was a story out there to help you as well, and same haha thank you so much 🙂

[@formularogue]

Thank you for this video. I’ve only seen a few videos on your channel so far, but the message of this video was really helpful for me.

[@themangoose]

Thanks so much for watching! I'm glad I can help in any way 🙂

[@Palpatinesenpai]

I can't believe it's already been a year, I remember seeing your second video in my recommended videos around the time I started collecting more manga myself. also, seeing the gradual improved confidence from that first haul is amazing

[@themangoose]

ahh thanks so much for deciding to click! can't wait for another year!

[@mammon5312]

I just found your video in my recommendations today and I'm honestly glad that I clicked your video because I'm an avid manga, manhwa (Korean), and manhua (Chinese) reader. I'm also happy that you're enjoying reading the mangas and that it helped you get through tough times. I'll be watching your videos to know your insights and perspectives since I'm really interested on what your interpretation of the mangas you've read based on the story. Anyway, I'm really glad that your life has gotten a lot better and brighter ever since you started reading them. Keep up the good work and hoping for more blessings to come your way!

[@themangoose]

Ah thank you so much for the kind words, I promise my other videos are more cheerful 😅 would love to hear your thoughts on your reads too as I haven't gotten into manwha or manhua just yet, always looking for recommendations!

[@mammon5312]

​@@themangoose For korean manhwas I recommend Lookism, Tower of God, God of Highschool, Eleceed, Noblesse, How to Fight, Real Man/ A Man's Man, Weak Hero, Teenage Mercenary, Loser's Life, The Beginning After the End, Manager Kim, No Scope, The Build Up, Get Schooled/True Education, Study Group, To Not Die, Taekwondo Kid, Omniscient Readers Viewpoint, The Earth's Chosen Savior, and SSS Class Suicide Hunter. Most of it are all action based and are quite popular but they are really good manhwas. All of them totally deserve the recognition and popularity.

I’m so glad I discovered your channel early on. You feel like an old friend I get to catch up with every video. I just love your friendly, wholesome and positive aura. I’m rooting for you. I can relate with u a lot and honestly would love to become friends. This community has given me great long distance friendships. You’re amazing

[@themangoose]

Ah thank you so much for the kind words, that really does mean a lot! I'm glad I could bring any joy and I look forward to catching up every two weeks! 🙂

[@LoneLionLeo]

@@themangoose I follow u on insta. You should post your hauls there too. The community there is great.

[@themangoose]

@@LoneLionLeo I have to really try and keep up with it, I'm so bad at posting I'm sorry! 😓

[@LoneLionLeo]

@@themangoose besides KZbin, are you active in other social media?

[@themangoose]

@@LoneLionLeo no, I have a hard time being consistent

[@nicklongenbach4722]

You have helped me so much begin my manga journey. You are one of my all time favorite manga content creators on the platform! Keep up the videos and the love for manga, Mangoose

[@themangoose]

ah thank you so much, that's so nice of you! 😅 I'm glad I could help in any way, and here's to another year of your manga journey!

[@zenmushie]

Great stuff man. Manga has helped me in so many ways as well. Great stuff. Keep on goin!

[@themangoose]

Thanks so much! Glad it could help you as well 😌

[@larrythelatypus]

no way it's been a year!! thank you so much for opening up about your struggles, I have severe anxiety and I'm currently in a not good spot (which doesn't help when u have manga and book addiction bc I have no money to buy them) so hearing your story gives me hope 💖 and I do not find hauls exhausting or repetitive, I literally eat that shit up I love it but I love vlogs and GIVE US DOG CONTENT !!!!! DOG VLOG my dog picks my manga idk what that would entail but gl thank you for being one of my favorite mangatubers ♥️

[@themangoose]

Ah thank you so much, that really does mean a lot and I hope things get better! The struggle is real with finding the money to collect sometimes 😢 and hahaha good to know! That's so funny I actually thought about doing that but wasn't sure how to go about it! I'll have to make sure to make it happen now 🥰

[@larrythelatypus]

@@themangoose my only thought is like, collecting a bunch of titles you haven't read and writing them on paper and laying them out and having your dog pick a piece of paper...excited for whatever happens in the future of your content, dog aside ☺️

[@thiagorosa373]

Hello! I’m from Brazil and my teach of English tell me to find another ways to keep learning English outside of my course with things that I love (manga) and I found you channel and you’ve been help me A LOT when I need practice my listening. So, you have subscribes in others countrys man. I say this for you to consider keep posting videos because you have qualities to make your channel grow much more (Sorry if a told something wrong)

[@themangoose]

Greetings from the US! Thank you so much for the kind words, I'm glad I could help in any way, that means a lot! I am definitely going to continue posting!! 😄

[@bumble-prime]

I recently just subscribed to your channel and I really like your documentary videos on different kinds of mangaka. I would like to see more of those but your shopping haul video are also neat to see too. Either-way, I’m just glad you get to make content revolving around your passion for manga. Whatever makes you happy Mr. Mangoose.

[@themangoose]

Thanks so much and welcome! I will definitely be working on more documentaries very soon! 🙂

[@Benzlisting]

Just found this channel right after I started getting heavily into manga. Congrats on 6k keep up the good work!

[@themangoose]

welcome! and thanks so much!! 😄

[@Manga_Swag]

Congratulations on the one year anniversary & having a hobby or something like a KZbin channel is a great way of escapism

[@themangoose]

thanks so much, and agreed! so glad I decided to!

[@gabyb5280]

I always look forward to your videos! I like the kind and positive vibe and how you are open minded about trying new genres and titles etc. It lets me hear about new things I wouldn't have thought to pick up :-)

[@themangoose]

Thank you so much! I'll definitely try to keep looking for obscure titles 😅

[@morrisonozzy]

I got into manga around January 2022 I was going through a dark time time in my life and of course I got Covid but afterwards I wanted to get into manga and your channel helped me get motivated to get manga from anime that I Iove and man I’m so glad I did. Thanks man much love!

[@hawkeyefigure]

Same here man. Manga helped save my life. I wish I had really gotten into manga before this year.

[@themangoose]

ah I'm so glad I could help in any way, thanks for deciding to watch! I hope things are better for you! 😊

[@themangoose]

@@hawkeyefigure it's okay! I do too, but now I'm just glad I did at all

[@melaniawoodhouse2843]

Congratulations 🎉 on your first year anniversary!!! I remember the yu-go-oh days!!!!

[@themangoose]

♥️

[@OdysseyFootball]

Man..I was here from the beginning.. watching you grow is crazy not that it's a bad thing or anything

[@OdysseyFootball]

Btw you should make a discord for everyone, a group for this channel that everyone can have fun and share and talk for anime and manga

[@themangoose]

glad you stuck with the channel! I'll definitely consider making a discord as well! 🙂

[@iliana.m]

Wow, I'm so happy you have made all this progress with yourself! It must have been very challenging so, respects!! 🙌😁 I still enjoy your content since the very first video and I like seeing your manga journey! I was just gotten into manga myself when you also started your channel, in fact!! 🤓 Though you definitely progressed quicker in this journey hahaha!! I was also diagnosed with generalized anxiety at some point, 2 years ago now! I skipped getting into depression luckily, and I did cognitive behavioural therapy and I've now overcome it! ❤️ It's so great seeing your own growth! I also have or had mild ocd thinking haha 😅 I overcame both of them for the most part now! 😃 I also have adhd but this is a personality trait rather and it actually works as a huge asset for me throughout my life so I love it!! I was just diagnosed now at my 30s, lol. Finding out that the features I liked most about myself were the actual traits of it lol. 😃 Saying this to also say that it makes my manga reading inconcistent! 😂🙈 So I just watch your videos all at once when the manga mood strikes!! 🤩 Getting excited to catch up with all the missed videos of my favorite mangatubers!! 💖🙌🙌😃🌟

[@themangoose]

Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm glad that you were able to conquer it for the most part I've heard CBT is great for treatment, and it is interesting how some traits can be positive from diagnosis haha. Thanks for sticking with the channel for so long and for sharing ♥️🙂

[@ineptznonz]

eyyy fellow MDD haver, hope your journey with it goes smoothly Manga recommendation I have for you is Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou, it's an amazing series that was recently localized for the first time! Amazing light science fiction slice of life story. Another one that's a bit trashy but has super fun art is Sheeply Horned Witch Romi, a really cool start to a series.

[@themangoose]

Ay I would say good to have a similarity but maybe not this one 😅 and I'll definitely have to check those out, sounds like an interesting genre mix and I'm pretty sure I picked up Romi, but haven't read it yet!! Now I definitely have to

[@thiagorosa373]

Btw, your pronunciation is so clean and I love hear you speaking :3

[@themangoose]

ahh thanks so much! 😅

[@animexmc5997]

you should make a manga suggestion video that would that would awesome . Stay health and happy is what i pray for you

[@themangoose]

Thank you so much! I could definitely do something like that, will add it to the list of videos to make! 🙂

[@axlgzrdmattick]

Ty for making content ! Love

[@themangoose]

thank you so much!

[@brook413]

have you every thought about making a discord server? btw just a little tip (still a new viewer) but i would recommend trying to complete series instead of buying a buch of vol ones (once i did it helped a lot)…hope you continue to make videos

[@themangoose]

I may do it in the future, I'm just really bad at keeping up with things 😅 also, I have started doing this recently and it's honestly so nice! I'm wanting to complete all my sets now, thank you!

[@chasealan]

I'd say just give it a shot, if you think itll be fun or would be interesting then just go for it, maybe people will be interested in it maybe they wont but you miss 100 percent of the shots you dont take. Me personally I really enjoy the Barnes and noble or the package hauls but I can see how those can get repetitive but having self awareness of this helps to improve both the content and the channel as well.

[@themangoose]

agreed, thank you! I love to see what others enjoy as well!

[@chasealan]

@@themangoose your videos also showed me how fun it can actually be just looking around book stores looking for manga and encouraged me to branch out of my usual manga and try differnt ones since I normally stick with shonen so thank you for that.

[@themangoose]

@@chasealan thanks for giving other genres a chance!!

[@MyEmoDiaries]

We miss you 😢
