My dad doesn't even know what Manga is and my mom doesn't care what I buy as long as it isn't any form of porn. I mean seriously, ANYTHING.

My parents don't care about it, becasue they don't know about it. I read my massive quantities of manga on my computer that I've downloaded, or are viewed online, so I don't actually have any beyond the 336 chapters of Naruto and the 150+ chapters of Rave Master hidden on my hardrive. I don't take chances with it. They can't forbid me from reading it as long as they don't know I read it.

My parents are cool... they buy me manga for gifts (They got me Naruto Vol 11 and 12, Negima Vol 7 and Tokyo Mew Mew Vol 5 for Christmas)... that or it's free from my mom's job... she works for Viz... I attually heard that she reads Manga when she's not busy... which is cool when it dosn't kind of creep me out (she also wathces fanfsubs which creeps me out even more)... my dad's cool too, he tried to get into Ranma back in '95 or '96 (which is extreamly creepy if you think about it... my dad trying to get me into that when I was 10). So I'm lucky I don't have the uptight parntes

My parents let me buy manga, as long as I like it (yay). Actually, sometimes whenever I watch some anime, my mom comments on the openings and says "the Japanese really make good music".
No offense to any other person's parents, but... if a parent thinks manga is made up with porn, violence, and whatnot - they're thinking like an ignoramus.

My parents don't really care about it, but sometimes my mom reads manga like Ranma 1/2 if she needs to kill time. But; If I read manga, my dad allways asks: ''Is that drawn in anime style?'' Then, when I watch anime, he says: ''That manga show looks exiting!'' -_-;

My mom doesn't care about manga, she says it's not going to do anything to her.

My parents... My dad thought FMA was a silly comic... Obviously he never read Spiderman before, then I made him read it. He saw the light.
My mom though... She's pretty okay with it, even though she insists I shouldn't waste my limited pocket money on books. She says she would buy most of them for me, but manga just feel nicer when you collect them yourselves.

My parents don't really care about it that much at all. My mom will usually buy me manga if were at Books-A-Million or something if I don't have any money. Of course, if she knew what 'yaoi' or 'shounen-ai' was, she'd probably kill me. >.>;;; My dad doesn't know any difference, but he likes the art of it.

I like cheese.
My parents dislike it, only because they have to pay for it. It's their fault for not giving me money D8<.
My mom thinks manga is a waste of money. She says she'd rather have me get something more "informative." I guess that's what I get for having a teacher as a mom. :/ My dad doesn't care either really, because he really doesn't pay attention to what I read these days. So, if I ever need some money for it, I bug him. ;D

My Mum doesn't mind me reading manga, and she buys it for me (the shop assistant was apparently like 'WOAH' when my mum asked to see the manga section in the book store to get me my christmas present) however, she is annoyed that I order my manga online and don't go to stores (my local manga stores no stock the volumes I need)
My step dad, doesn't mind at all, and shown no opinion on it

Well, my parents think that it's making me act too subserviant... And it might be, a LITTLE, but with all the strong Female characters in it, it's really only two of my (finished) Manga that would influence me so. My dad refers to them as "Those backwards books", but otherwise they don't really care. Got four or fve volumes for Jesusmas this week. However, they constantly pick on me for still liking Pokémon. I've GOT to direct them to Dragonfree's stie someday so that they can read a better argument in the favor of Pokémon than what I can give them.

They ask me why I'm still into "kiddy crap" but they still buy me some anyway. I generally don't ask for English translated manga. I've learned some stuff from my Japanese manga so they don't hesitate to get me that even though they hesitate going to a bookstore to get me manga there

Incident today: I was downtown with my mom in one of our regular bookshop browsing days, and had quite a lot of money to spend because of Christmas (about $50). We were in one bookstore, and I was just about ready to head over to the manga section, when my mom stops me and informs me that I am only allowed to spend half of my money on manga.
Now, I understood that my mom hates spending any kind of money -- no matter how it's earned -- all at once. But the fact remained: It was still my money, and I should have had the privilege to do what I wanted with it.
So, we go to another bookstore (Borders) and I waltz on over to the manga section and notice that they have a buy four, get one free deal. I inform my mom of this, and she reluctantly agrees. I end up spending about $40 of my own money.
When we exit the store, my mom begins to lecture me about how I shouldn't be spending all my money on manga, and I once again remind her that it is my money. This entire debate ends when she concludes that I'm not to buy any more manga for a month.
These types of things are quite common with my mom, so I don't take it very seriously. But that's just one way to describe how she feels about it. Though her feelings do change from mild interest to outright denial of me spending my money on it.
What can I say; parents are peculiar.
