| Fell in love with Berserk and Azumanga Daioh around the same time. Never loved manga before then. |

 Bro, only weirdos choose to piss in the urinal next to you when there are plenty of open urinals along the wall. Fuck you |
| Anime converted me into light novel reading and from there to manga. Can't remember the first manga I've enjoyed despite not reading that many. |

| Chainsaw Man was getting hyped way before an anime was announced so I gave it a try and enjoyed it which made me more open to other manga |

Holyland by Kouji Mori ;p
| @sweetnothing1 Great manga that will probably never be adapted. |
| One Piece, for sure, no doubt. I became an instant fan and started reading more manga. |
| Pokémon Special. Learning to read a book backwards was something else lol |

@Rally- Haha I’d like to see it animated one day! I was surprised when i heard kouji mori would be taking over berserk
| @sweetnothing1 I know he's the only other artist I can name from Young Animal but I thought he was the best choice. Very talented artist/writer. |
| Blue Lock, first manga I ever read. |
 -Tohka is better than Kurumi. You can't change my mind. |
| @jacob_ernholtz Blood on the Tracks is definitely a great manga. Hopefully I enjoy it more down the line since I relate to the subject matter as well. I also love Monster and I'm finally trying to read the manga after seeing the anime so many times. |

| Domestic Girlfriend Oddly enough it is probably still the longest manga I finished... |
| Good question! Pretty sure it was Solanin, I remember planning to read Oyasumi Punpun but I read this instead because it was shorter lol, probably still my favorite Inio work though. |

| @Zayvex Solanin was my first Asano manga too! Liked it enough to check out Punpun. |
| Well, Love Hina manga (that was back in the late '90s), I still think that this manga has a decent appeal to it even after all these years. (after that, I haven't read Manga for a long time and only came back to it a few years ago) |
| Heh, for me it was also Azumanga. It wasn't my first manga series, but it definitely left a lasting impression. It was basically my gateway into being a fan and starting my collection. I was 8 years old back then, so around 2005. Wow, that feels like ages ago. -g- |

D W-W&N 🤍 MAL is far from being my primary site for literature, which is why I’ve stopped doing single-chapter updates. Baka-Updates and two French sites are far superior—more detailed, complete, and less restrictive. They're perfect for manga, light novel, and book collectors like me, making the process much less stressful and tiring. -g- |
| I think I was an anime fan first, but I was hooked after Cardcaptor Sakura and Pokemon Adventures. |

| Honestly it has to be Golgo 13 for me |
 |
| Bought Akira back in 2001 when I was 12 and never looked back. Berserk came shortly after. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Dragon Ball was the first I read, but I wasn't interested in exploring anything beyond that. Then came Naruto, but I picked it up because I was watching the anime adaptation. So, it's Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Kenkaku Romantan, that I started reading out of sheer curiosity, that ultimately sparked the fire. |

| There were three phases: 1. Hitoribocchi no Marumaru Seikatsu, the first manga that made me feel something (laughter). 2. Kamitachi ni Hirowareta Otoko, weirdly enough this was the first manga that made my cry. 3. The Horizon and Yuusha Goikkou no Kaerimichi were the next manga that made me cry, and while the former started off slow so isn't really one I'd call a "masterpiece" the latter was definitely the first masterpiece of a tearjerker I've read. |
| Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba by Koyoharu Gotouge |
| Well, it was Pokemon Adventure that was my first manga (at that time I didn't know what manga was). But it wasn't I became an anime fan, I found out about manga and I came to realize that Pokemon Adventure was my first manga. So when I became an anime fan, I also became a manga fan too. |
| Steel Ball Run. Never read manga before it and didn't know how easy it was to find it. Being a Jojo fan, I wanted to continue to part 7, and I was floored by how good a manga can be when I first read it. |

| @User8492 Surprised you started with Part 7. But it does switch universes at that part so I guess it's fine. Not a bad choice honestly. |
| Dr. Slump. It means a lot to me because it was both my first exposition to anime (in the Catalan TV in the early 90s, when I was like 5 years old) and also to manga ten years later. Oddly enough I learned it was based in a manga while reading an annual that my father collected that had an article about it. That article changed my leisure time forever xD I watched Digimon and Pokémon on TV back then, but I think I had never heard about manga. I remember in the early 1990s my mother bought me Doraemon's 1st issue and a Dragon Ball issue, back when they were published in comic book format. Sometimes you could find manga in newspaper shops if its anime was popular among kids through TV. But 9x% of the comics you could find in a newspaper shop were Spanish series, and that's all I had read until then, along with Tintin, some Asterix and Yoko Tsuno, and a Calvin & Hobbes anthology my father brought me from a business trip to the USA. Anyway, I looked in the Yellow Pages for a comic shop without even knowing if Dr. Slump was published here. Indeed it was, and when I went to that shop it was full of manga. I mean, there were probably like 200-300 manga volumes there, which can seem little compared to the ~1700 volumes that get published every year nowadays. But to me it felt like a lot and it all looked so intriguing. That was the moment that changed my reading habits. I wonder if I would have been hooked into manga if I hadn't come across that article. I think yes, just some time later. Maybe through the anime adaptations that I watched on TV some time later like Inuyasha or KareKano, or maybe through Naruto, which got a lot of teens into manga around 2004. But I can't tell for sure. |

| I did not even know about manga in my childhood, but when I went to school to bigger city in the late nineties I found good library with quite large comic book section and also many titles in english. (There was no many mangas translated to my own language in that time.) I check different series like Ranma 1/2, Dragonball and Barefoot Gen, but Akira and Naucicaä where the first ones, what I liked so much, that I had to get them also in my bookshelf. |

| Uzumaki Then I found out about Junji's other works along with other manga and the rest is history |

| koe no katachi I think, it was the first manga I read to completion |
   |
It was actually a Visual Novel that made me start reading manga and watching anime. I was blown away by the writing, and I decided there and then to become a weeb for life.... The first manga that I bought was Death Note. |
| When I was younger, I saw anime and manga as two parts of the same hobby "anime&manga" so I never felt converted into a fan by a manga because I was first converted into the combined hobby by the anime Death Note. Now I can't even remember what was my first manga, but it was probably xxxHolic or Ouran High School Host Club. |
| Real about high school Samurai girl. |
 |
| Man I used to read shitty romance manga like komi cant communicate and nagatoro back in middle school but reading chainsaw man and then fire punch in 10th grade reopened my eyes. Thank you Tatsuki Fujimoto |
| I borrowed the first volume of Pokemon: The Electric Tale of Pikachu from the library as a kid multiple times because I loved the art style and began to mimic it in my drawings, not even knowing what an "anime/manga" style even was. It was all downhill after that... |
 |
| Read all of chainsaw man in a day when just part one was out and that's what really got me into manga |
