Manga quotes
Anime and Manga is Japan’s great culture. Hunter x hunter (samurai x), One Piece, Naruto are three popular manga/anime everyone knows in the world. My favorite manga is.. Dragon ball, Yu-yu hakusho(ghost basters?), Captain Tsubasa, Kochikame, Dai no daiboken, Jojo no kimyo na bouquet (JOJO’s bizarre adventures)… many! But I don’t know about the latest anime/manga well like Tokyo ghoul, Attack on titan..etc. (Why do you like people is eating?)
This is the Japanese quote from popular manga.
| かいぞくおうにおれはなる！ Kaizokuou ni ore wa naru! (ONE PIECE) |
| I will become a king of pirates! |
| せっしゃはるろうにん。 Sessha wa rurounin. (Samurai X) |
| I am a wanderer. |
| おれがあきらめるのをあきらめろ! Ore ga akirameru nowo akiramero. (NARUTO) |
| Give up that I give up! |
