Until now, I know four kinds of Japanese: manga/anime Japanese, textbook Japanese, business/office Japanese and poetic Japanese to some extent.
When I listen to my Japanese co-workers, (even the younger ones, who are in their twenties) I only catch the occasional "watashi", even when they're talking rather casually. Yesterday, my boss (I'd say he's in his forties) talked about "boku no hon" and jokingly referred to himself as "boku-sama".
So is using ore to refer to one's (male) self manga speak after all? What's your take on this "issue"? Thanks in advance.
