Hello there folks!

This is my very first time being on this forum, but I'm ready to wager the time I'll be spending here is going to be well-spent. Starting off, I wish I could say I'm just your average twenty-year-old student, but several factors (reading and appreciating Jane Austen's works, for one) go against the whole sense of that statement. Then again I value manga just how much as I value literature, and I absolutely love foreign languages - I'm currently studying Chinese and English.
As far as manga is concerned I reckon I've read something like 500 of them on onemanga, which, incidentally, won't seem to work for me at the moment (I'll vent my anger one way or another, fear not my comrades!).
Yuck! It seems I forgot to mention the main stuff, let's give it another go, shall we?
I'm from Italy, the land of pizza, pasta and mandolins, or so they tell me. I guess it's funny that I prefer Japanese and Chinese food, but whatever... the gustibus non disputandum est, right?
As I mentioned in my proofreader application I have also written several books of my own, and translated some series (e.g. the whole Harry Potter and Twilight lot, English to Italian).
Now some minor details: I seldom sleep (about 10-14 hours in one go every 2 to 4 days), don't own a driving license (nor do I think I'll ever get one, but "of course I ruddy well know how to drive", cit. Vernon Dursley) and - unfathomably - have afro hair.
Guess that sums it all up nicely, but should you have further questions do feel free to ask!

P.S.: No, I don't dislike smilies, but I still like expressing my thoughts via standard writing best.
P.P.S.: Just kidding! :m009: :m203: :m118:

Hello and welcome to IES . . . Don't be shy to post

阿你也会说和写中文?

Yep, I can pretty much write and read chinese character, but I'm not too confident when it comes to speaking. I'm going to have to study some more for that. :m005:

Welcome welcome~! :3

I can't believe how cute that emoticon is. :m015:

Thank you for your advice Devil (mind if I call you that? it's shorter). The OneManga problem eventually solved itself, but I'll check out the sites you provided me with anyway, there might be something new to read. :m016:
I mainly go for OneManga for two reason; firstly because I've grown accustomed to the interface, and Google Chrome loads the pages right off the bat; secondly because it is compatible with a Mozilla Firefox add-on which helps me keep track of the countless number of series I'm following and the relative updates with a handy pop-up showing when something new is up.
Thanks for welcoming me, too. :m120:
