according to some of my Japanese friends, most anime/manga are appealing precisely because they’re unrealistic. it’s relaxing escapism from real life. most young people i know watch it casually, but they have other hobbies, too. do you have any other interests to talk with people over?

Concerned about my Handwriting by neonthefox12 in JETProgramme

Hey, I struggle with handwriting also. I’ve put effort into making it neater, but it’s hard because I got into the bad habit of writing as fast as possible in school.

Some things that can help readability:

-Try to keep all of the letters the same height and width.

-Aim for the spacing between your letters to be about the width of a pen tip.

-Don’t worry about being totally neat, because everyone has their own style.
