-Out of the restaurant; working at the bookstore, Daya came to learn of anime and manga from the kids that came in and out. She had a vague awareness of it before that, like; 'this is what those lame rich kids be watching.' Daya had no interest whatsoever when she had her Western comic books. Yes, she was one of those people who're like, 'uuuhhh western comic books mean way more than manga ever will. tf? why do you read this backwards? why does everyone look like they ten?' which is horrible because i mean, she doesn't look that old herself. and Daya especially, on-sight, thought that magical girl anime was lame af. And yet she found herself watching Madoka, I'm sure in old OC notes this was the first anime she ever watched on her phone. And got teary eyed over. She owns a ugly bootleg Madoka key chain because she thought it was funny as shit. -Daya would get emotional about FMA 03!Edward Elric when she's high. Like, Ed and Al didn't even get to be kids for that long and they didn't even get a really happy ending. But they always worked so, so hard. And then it becomes a self-reflective thing where she's like, 'and what am I doin' here while they're out here struggling?'  -But in the end, Daya goes through periods like me where she doesn't fuck with anime for 3+ years and holds general disinterest for a strong majority of whats popular.
