Have you ever experienced watching something and right after watching it, your life started to change its course inversely? Well, that's what happened to me earlier this morning. I was watching Bakuman for weeks and this morning at around two o'clock, I finished the last episode of the final season.

It was magnificent, challenging and meaningful. For a moment I wasn't able to move; then suddenly, I felt restless like an after effect. I was like, "I wanted to be like the main character of the anime." I imagined myself in the shoes of the main character, doing what he was doing. The feeling was the same as a simple dream which sprouted and suddenly my heart felt a great desire for it.

Imaginations ruled my head. I couldn't sleep anymore. I took my cellphone from my bed which was located at the west corner of my room. I looked at the time. It was just three o'clock in the morning. I got out of my small room at the end of our house which was at the second floor. I went to the dining hall.

I took a glass of water to drink. Out of nowhere, a question pop into my mind. Why not try to make a manga (Japanese term for comics) and see if I could have a future doing it? I went upstairs to my room with question buzzing in my head. I sat on my bed for a while thinking about it. Then I realized that it was already dawn so I went to sleep.
