Note: My manga list only includes titles I've read in Japanese.

Hello, I'm Jackdaw　【ジャックドー】 a 27 year old Swedish bibliophile studying Japanese. I came into contact with anime sometime in the late 90's. My brother used to hand me CDs with thumbnail quality RealPlayer files he spent all night hogging the phone line to download. It didn't take long for me to get hooked.

Frankly though, I'm a bigger fan of manga. In the early 2000's Dragon Ball came to Sweden. I always liked comics, but oh man did I get hooked on manga when that happened. Soon we got magazines, One Piece, DNAngel and other big titles. I would keep reading those until the manga boom died out in the mid 2000's and it all became unavailable. I watched anime from time to time inbetween, but I wouldn't really get big on manga again until I started learning Japanese the summer 2013. Now I even import manga and novels from Japan! Feels brilliant, the best decision I've made in recent years!

I'm not very active nowadays, but I also drew a lot of comics back in the days. Dreamt of drawing comics for a living. I still would like that, as a part time job anyway, but don't have quite that creative spark as I had in my high school days. Maybe it'll come around with time.

Anyway, hello! I can get quite talkactive when I'm passionate about things, so hope you don't mind long responses. See you around and if you feel like it, send me a message sometime. I'd be much obliged.
