Okay, is it just me or does anyone else sometimes wish they had one of those backpacks like in those mangas? Such as Ouran High school host club, code e, Gals,kare kano, ultra cute, azumanga daioh, and many many more.
I am not talking about the larger lumpy looking ones-[IMG]http://giverslog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/Hideo-Randoseru-Japanese-Backpack.jpg[/IMG]not to say that they are not nice, but just that they are not what I am referring to. I am talking more about the breifcasy looking ones. I would post a picture, but i couldn't find one TT^TT Hopefully most people know what I am talking about though.
does anyone know where to get one? or more about what they are on the inside? they might just be empty..but I feel like they probably have organizers or something.

YAY I FOUND IT! how did that happen ;;^_^
anyways, here is a pic :)

You're not the only one!:animesmil But I prefer the clunky ones. Seems like it'd be easier to carry lots of stuff in. Although most of the clunky ones are so cute that they look like they should be carrying a pokemon or something in them instead of school stuff.

[quote name='pax et agape']I used to have a bag kind of like that but I have no idea what happened to it. I'm rather fond of my messenger bag, though:

true, but I never see those backpacks in manga, so thats probably why i dont want one as much. They are cute though. It annoys me that american text books are so big and heavy cuz the ones in Japan are small and perfect for that backpack, there is no way I could actually use that bag for school, but its soooo cool

[FONT="Trebuchet MS"]Hey HopefulOTaKu, I merged your double posts together. For future reference, if you want to add more and your post is the last one, just use the edit button in the lower right hand corner of your post, instead of double posting.

Anyway, I can't say I've ever wanted one of those anime backpacks, especially one that runs to the tune of $200. That's way too steep in my opinion. [/FONT]

[COLOR="DarkOrchid"][FONT="Times New Roman"]Mine is more of a purse, and I adore it.

People always ask me questions about it, and I'm happy to say that it's both Japanese, and leather. His name is Owen.

[font=helvetica]"Briefcase backpack" turns up a few results on Google shopping. The cheaper ones (~50 USD) are advertised as laptop bags, but it looks like more or less the same thing to me.

If you really wanted, I'm sure you could find a suitable bag at a thrift store and modify it to be used as a backpack.[/font]

[quote name='SaiyanPrincessX'][SIZE="1"]I could see myself wanting that pink backpack about ten years ago.

I do have a messenger bag similar to the black one that I got when I was really into MegaTokyo. Its sitting on the floor in my closet now though, lol. [/SIZE][/QUOTE][font=helvetica]Every year or so I go on a Megatokyo binge and read all of the comics that have come out since I last visited the site.

Days in Megatokyo are really, really long.[/font]
