When I saw titles like Sazae-san, Mighty Atom, and GeGeGe no Kitarou, I realized that they're just old childhood favorites.
But then I saw Golgo 13 among Hatoyama's favorites.


Now I'm confused about his taste.

So he's a normal person who read slightly more manga than others when he was in college because he likes books. And now he doesn't really care.

Would it be so unusual to express a liking for James Bond and Roald Dahl in the same breath?

I'm not. He use to read Garo. Wink

I am just surprised that he likes to read Katsura's I"s. That title was really popular back in the late 90's to Early 2000's.

Heh. I like this guy. Doing away with Aso's center hopefully means he'll support anime and manga in more productive ways.
