Manga used to be the only thing high school kids read. The ones that read
anything, I mean.

By Magic I mean Magic: The Gathering. It is a collectible card game in which
you buiold decks of monsters and powers and use them to face other players. It
moves a whole lot of money. There are organized tournaments and some
collectible cards are worth tens of thousands of dollars.

People who play Magic is usually very hardcore at it. It is one of those things
that is more of a lifestyle than a hobby.

Magic is owned by the same company that publishes Dungeons and Dragons.
