Yeah... pretty much everybody in school respects me because I can solve a Rubik's cube...
Well, tons of people in my school read/watch manga/anime.
You're only considered weird when you start to wear anime-related shirts every day... and when you have claws.
Hell... I fashioned my backpack after Tsukimiya Ayu's(The one on the left).
And I'm still not considered weird.
really, they shun me because I could solve a Rubik's cube in under 3min >< But yeah, I'm a big anime fan, like cosplaying, clothes, mangas etc, but it's not my entire life, I have other things like sports, and Japanese (To talk to family, not for the anime, I have family that lives in Japan ^^). Personally, I'd just pick something they like and tease them over it. You don't deserve to be hurt because of what you like.
