| After watching a bit of anime I decided to try some manga. |
 |
| because I watched all the Anime series of my childhood ^^ |
 |
| Because of two things. I wanted to prove myself that i can read in English smoothly, and I wanted to contnue adventures with my favourite pepole from anime series. |
| i decided to try manga since i heard it's better than anime |
| Needed something to read on a 32 hour flight |
| because I liked the art in manga |

IntroverTurtle said: Saw it at the library. Pictures catch my eyes more than words, especially in a library. and then as you check out you hope someone will walk up to you and say how great the manga is. |
| Ha. Ha. HA. HA. HA. HA. HA. HA. I'm laughing because you got hurt. |
| I kept hearing all the time that the manga of _____ was much better so I decided to read a few and now I got a very large list of stuff I'm going to read |
| Everyone is out there having a social life and I'm here watching anime. |
| I got into manga just a bit before starting to watch anime as a hobby. I believe I first got introduced to the medium through a Shounen Jump Magazine that I borrowed from a friend. |
 |
| My friend told me about onemanga.com The first time of reading Japanese manga was when I was in elementary school though. |

| I realised that there are many great stories that aren't animated and I didn't want to miss out experiencing them. Also, a lot of anime fall short in delivering the story so I read to get the full series until the end. Been reading about 3 years now. |
| I guess the reason was to get more of what i already liked. Like i said in the "first manga i ever read" i started reading manga with stuff like Ichi The Killer, Battle Royale and Hellsing. The first two had been made into to movies and i saw those movies first and because i liked them enough i started to do some research and found out there was comic adaptation too. From the first Hellsing show i saw the potential but that first anime was obviously a bad one but i because i found that manga and the anime are very much different i decided to read it. |
| I don't really remember, I was really young. But I think what happened was my friend taped Naruto for me but one very sad day, she informed me that they had stopped airing it, so I turned to the local library to read the manga. Although I ended up with Bleach instead, but continued reading it nonetheless. |
 |
| Im reading it because it look interesting |
 |
| I'm not really sure why, I just decided to start reading manga when I was 8. And I love reading manga, I think I read more manga than watch anime. |
| I read manga, because 1- I've wached the anime and liked it so much that I decide to read it and.. 2- When I browse to find a good manga, I find one with a good storyline and read it. As simple than that ^_^ |
| Strobe Edge was actually the first series that got me picking up manga in the first place, but I guess I didn't really get into manga until I started craving to see the continuation of the story of Bokura ga Ita, so I picked up the manga after watching the anime series. From there I started really getting into shoujo manga. I suppose it was a good way to get my fix of shoujo, since I very few shoujo offerings the anime world has been churning out recently have genuinely interested me. |
| I wanted to read the Pokemon Special/Adventures manga, so that's what first got me to read it. |
| It's natural for a person to deny he's a failure as a human being. That's why he searches for somebody who is more miserable than himself. That's why so much animosity exists on the internet. Those who aren't able to find a more miserable person, turn to the internet and call other people losers, even though they've never met. Just to make themselves feel superior. Isn't that pathetic? There's a sense of security that comes from speaking badly of someone else. But that isn't true salvation. — Tatsuhiro Satou |
| I wanted to continue the anime after it ended |
| After I finished my first real anime, I found out that there was more to the story. So I eventually earned the money and bought all 23 volumes. I didn't start reading online until last year, but I still buy manga series. |

| I started to read it because it was something different and I really enjoyed the drawing style. I never watched anime before, my friend just showed it to me and got hooked. |
| Because it's fucking awesome and is a far better medium than most American shows. |
| At first I was like "ugh...manga" but then I watched bokura ga ita and the anmime has a said ending, but the manga is complet and I said "manga cant be that bad" after that I somehow found out about Kyou koi hajimemasu and When I check at google image looked too pervert for me but I still tried...and after that I feel in love with smut, shoujo, josei manga <3 |
| I was introduced to it during a school trip by some friends. I ended up spending the entire trip inside our tent reading. Been reading manga ever since. |
| School is boring so i read them during class.... and 20 years later i still read them.. |
 |
| (before internet awailability) I was reading comic books which i bought regularly on news stands, accidentally I found Akira which was published by chapters (two chapters came out in total... so I had it on-hold before I even made lists until I found scans on internet), so that was my first manga more than 10 years ago... anyway I started reading seriously 7 years ago or something (read online pages started blooming all over)... first I read shounens because I wanted to know what will happen before anime continued (like One Piece) and manga whoose anime finished but more of the story was in publishing manga like Berserk, Claymore and such. Afterwards I started reading every great manga that didn't get anime. Now I read because I enjoy reading and exploring the very medium. After I bought myself tablet I read manga on it on train rides to college and back (when I do not have anything to study it is great to have some low baterry consumption activity for total of 3 hours in both directions + waiting for the train time so I'm not bored, longer brakes in between classes... waiting in line somewhere....etc.). -random thought: i like comics more than I like novels mostly because it saves me the time reading descriptions of surroundings, characters and such, well I can see them so I only have to read what they are saying.... sounds somewhat shallow. I love fantasy and historical fiction adventure novels if writer has good style of writing (in my impatient case: devoid of excessive drama and descriptions so I can imagine them freelly rather). I love writing style in Harry Potter series or in Eragon series, but i hate the writing style of Royal Assasin for example. |

| Because I was sick of waiting through filler arcs in anime. |
| My family is a treasure, you need a map and shovel to find them. |
| I was tired of lame Naruto fillers at one point. That's the sole reason I started reading Naruto manga (can't say I'm very happy with it though). Later, I found out some other works which made me realize what I missed. |
 |
| Found a copy of Cardcaptor Sakura in my local B&N when I was around 7 or 8 and have been hooked on manga ever since. Hadn't really watched anime before that, though I was pretty into Pokemon and stuff like that I wasn't aware that it was "anime". |
| Well, I've always read manga my entire life. Recently, I got back into manga because a lot of series by authors that did some of the anime I like had manga that didn't get adapted yet so I wanted to check their stuff out. |
| Back before Bleach became obvious shit and still had hope, I was visiting my cousin who read the manga back then and he just like blurted out a ton of spoilers and I thought, "Well, fuck it now. I cant wait for the anime to progress beyond my new knowledge so I guess Ill read the manga too." Bleach eventually became shit but then I found out that a lot of animes are actually different than their manga counterparts so I continue to read to either, satisfy my gluttony for the next piece of the story or to see how the story actually goes. |
 |
| I was watching Bleach and got sucked into the plot and wanted to know what was going to happen next without having to wait another week. And in the end I'm over a year behind on the manga. Ha ha |
 |
| I didn't have internet at my house back around 5-6 years ago, so I made a habit of hanging around at the local library. I mainly read Pokemon/Yu-Gi-Oh! graphic novels (no money for a gaming console or to buy trading cards) until one day, volume 1 of Kitchen Princess was lying on the check out desk. I thought the cover art was pretty (yes, I'm shallow) and checked it out with the rest of my stuff. I read through it, and it was good. I proceeded to check out just about every manga my library had (which wasn't a lot sadly). tl;dr I was bored. It was eye candy and an alternative to online stuff. Two birds with one stone. |
 |
| Because of my friend lol. I haven't knew anime at that time. |
 |
| My otaku classmate introduced me to it. During that time, I was pretty obsessed about Tsukihime. |
 |
| 1. Because many anime end abruptly just when I think the plot actually gets interesting. 2. I read that many anime deviate from the original manga story, and turns out the manga ALWAYS has more awesome story in such cases. 3. And yeah, some of the most amazing manga aren't even adapted to anime! If I stick only to anime, I would never know these mangas. |
SlothieSloth said: Elfen Lied's ending left me unsatisfied & I knida wanted more of it. Finished the whole thing in 1 day. Same here. And it was totally worth it, every minute. |
| It was kind of the natural step for me. I watched anime since my early childhood -thanks based mum- and when I grew it was like "if I read books which are adapted to movies and many of those books are better than the adaptations... maybe reading manga would be fine". And it was. |
| If it has solution, don't bother; and if it hasn't, why bothering? Do you like manga? http://gunjoteam.com |
| Meh, for me it just kinda happened, downloaded a Manga app, chose a random Manga, and started reading till my eyes started to hurt (which they did). Been reading Manga ever since, and regret nothing. =^-^= |
 |
| I was caught up with watching Naruto/OP/Bleach and really wanted more so i gave it a shot and now im addicted :/ |
| anime > not enough > manga. |
