Viewing Manga through the Johari Window.

Through the Johari Window we can tell various aspects of how my identity is shaped by Manga and how others may view my personality through it for instance Hellsing which is a fairly violent manga (example page shown right) could give the impression to others that my hidden self could be fairly dark and violent.









Whereas for example in Bloody Kiss which is a Romantic/Supernatural, Comedy (example page shown right) people could get the impression that my hidden self is gentle and kind. Through these, people around me could get ether impression of my identity and create judgements of what they expect me to be like and what my personality should be like. So looking at my taste in manga people could get certain impressions and label me with a stereotype and believe that that is my hidden self.

Even so with these stereotypical views that others could label me with it is entirely passable that these views perceived by others could give me the chance to find out more about my blind self.
