text: anime characters? why do some people think that the characters in anime and manga books are hot? jeeze people, they're drawings. same for avatars on some web sites. they're fake. how can they be "hot" or "sexy"? some people think characters in anime/manga are hot because they are ideal. meaning that if we, as human beings, could have the guy/girl of our dreams they would be like the characters from our favorite anime/manga. unfortunatly this isn't good because if we only look to our dream guy/girl we will miss out on meeting a great guy/girl in real life. i personally crush on anime/manga characters but i don't let that close my eyes to the real life guy/girls around me. i use thoses crushes to write fanfics.
