| I mean... Mine was "Midori Days" because I saw it in my middle school library and thought it looked funny. But more than that, how on earth did I know nothing about big series like Naruto or Bleach or One Piece at that point in time? Heck! The first shonen series I ever picked up to read (in my high school library) was D.Gray Man. |
| I was around 11 and my cousin, who is now gone (RIP), recommended me Bleach. I have grown over the years and definitely read some better work, but Bleach will always hold a special place in my heart. |
 |
| I picked out a dragon ball manga volume at a bookstore since I was a fan of the anime during the time |
 |
| I don't even remember what my first manga was, but it was probably "Doraemon" or "Kobo Chan" owned by my older cousin, and I read it because it was laying around my grandma's home. |
  |
| I don't remember. I've been reading manga since I was 7 |
| Fairy Tail. It was my first anime and I loved it, so I decided to get into manga via the same franchise. My sister had been reading manga for a few years and I was waiting to get into college, so I spent that vacation reading manga. |
| I wanted to read manga to experience something different than anime. A friend recommended (lowkey force) to read one piece but tha shit was titanic. So i just decided to read short horror manga sometimes and read Uzumaki. It's still my fav among some 10 manga ig |
| i chose to read berserk because I watched the anime. I wanted to see any Casca and guts moments that wasnt shown. UH.. yeah i definetely got that- lmao.. |

| I remember the first manga I read, Promised neverland. The season 1 really hooked me up that made curious and can't hold my horse about what will happen after the turns out the second season was an original anime route lmao |

| it was one source of entertainment. back when in elementary school, the manga corner on the bookstore looks like a dreamland with all interesting titles and illustration on the cover, and i happened to have a friend that bought them regularly so i started borrowing some volumes from them |
| given, idk i was jus captivated but ended up not finishing |
| Because it was finished and I wasn't gonna wait any longer for the anime to catch up. |
| Brand name recognition. I read some chapters of “The Electric Tale of Pikachu” when I was a kid. When I got older, I read The Legend of Zelda. |
| その目だれの目？ |
| The first manga I got physical copies of was The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures. I got it when I was talking to a fujoshi about Zelda yaoi and I thought I was gay at the time. Shipping Link with himself is called Linkcest. I never actually read it though. The first physical manga I actually read was Kill la Kill for Ryuuko's ass. That manga was made after the anime and it's a disappointment at the end. It has a watch-the-anime ending. |
 |
| It's funny how most people seem to either get into it because of friends/family, or can't wait for the next season. I really want to read Haikyuu for that reason, but at the same time I want to be surprised when the next season of the anime comes out. |
| Because I was already obsessed with the anime adaptation and wanted to read the source material. I generally tend to seek out the source material of everything and consume it first if possible, it's a quirk of mine, and I think this is where it began lol. The manga in question was Hetalia btw. |
 |
| Yes my first one was My Hero Academia, the reason was because when S2 aired i hate the fact that i have to wait to see who will win the tournament (bakugo vs todoroki), that is the start of my journey to explore more manga ig. |
| I read Hot Gimmick as a kid/pre-teen because it was one of the only non-action manga they had at the library in the early to mid 2000s. I started reading it and couldn't BELIEVE how bad it was and I needed to know that she doesn't end up with who I thought she would so I waited for every translation to be in the library and it ended up being even more messed up than I thought it would. I hate that that's the first manga I ever read. D:< |
 |
| I'm pretty sure the first manga I've read were Pokemon and Naruto. Pokemon was and still is a big deal. I loved the franchise and read a couple of manga copies at Barns n Noble. With Naruto, I knew what it was but it didn't air much when I grew up. It was when my 6th Grade English Teacher had a library installed in her classroom that I started reading the series. I have no idea why she had manga included in there but it got me into anime and manga so I'm not complaining. |
| I played the game and liked the characters - Pokémon Black & White |
 |
| Naruto when I was 11. The only reason I read it was cause the anime was taking too long and that's when I discovered I could access manga online! I don't own any manga yet, they're not available in my town |
 |
| When I was a kid, i found the Fruits Basket manga in the school libary. I read it because I thought it was funny it was printed 'backwards'. |
  |
| Yes, the first manga I read was Erased and I read it after watching the anime, as I wanted to find out what happened in the manga |
| The first manga I ever remember reading was probably a copy of Dragon Ball Z I found at my local library. I was wild about the show when I was kid watching it on Toonami. I remember during a 4th grade trip to the library (which was a block away from my school), our teacher instructed us to all rent a book. I of course, rented DBZ. Which the Principal subsequently pulled the book out of my hands as I was reading because it wasn't "proper reading material". |
| Because i want to see EoE third impact on attack on titan made by eren so it must be good |
 |
| I liked the anime. |
 |
| Well,i started watching anime,and created a account in this website.Here have a Manga list,and my personality just can't leave that all in blank :3 |
 |
| Holo, because of Holo on the cover |
| I had just finished '97 Berserk. Yeah. I was staring at my screen for a good 25 minutes completely stunned on what I had watched. |
| Mine was Dr. Stone back in late 2018, I got the first 2 volumes as a christmas gift, and my collection has been expanding ever since! |
 |
| I even bought it.. was I"S from mazakatsu katsura ... i liked the way he draw the girls, so sexy withouth being exagerated, they look very proportionated ... anyway is funny cuz is an ecchi and i hate ecchi animes hahahhahaha I guess that for manga i make an execption, but i havent read many ecchi manga neither, so i guess it depend on the art, many ecchis are overexagerated with huge boobs and lolis, i liked this mangaka proportions on women. Now i barely care for ecchi, the plots are so bad ewwwww, but i dont mind at all mature manga, they have the ecchi element with and intricate plot, or at lesst they try, like boy abbys, we have sex but drama hahaaha |
| Mines was demon slayer. I was still pretty new to anime and wasn’t really that into the community so when I finished demonslayer my sister told me to read the manga and I did. I’m glad I did because later on when I’m heavily into anime I was seeing demon slayer spoilers left and right. Also the manga ended at the time I read it and I didn’t really want to wait 4-6 for demon slayer anime to end |
| If there's a hole there's a goal-Master Oogway |
| Yea was my friend recommended me to read "katekyo reborn" after i finished the series, he told me somethings i didnt know which made me curious, although i end up reading Naruto instead. |

| My first was Tokyo Ghoul. Saw it in a library and remembered that a friend of mine was watching some anime show and hyping it up. Since the last time I've seen anime was in pre-school and I was more into books at the time, I picked it up and took a look. The art piqued my interest so I decided to give it a go and see what it's about. That was like 8 years ago in grade school. It took me some time to get into anime too, but manga has always stayed with me through the years since then. |
| compared to anime which i started in the 90s, i got into manga way later like in mid 2000s and my first i think was gantz? i found it randomly, and i guess it was an intriguing story for a teenage boy so i kept reading it. |
| Protesters, assemble!! |
| I used to hang out at the library a lot when I was a kid and the shelves were organized so that comics and manga were all mixed up in the same section. At the time I didn't know what manga was and just happened to pick one up because the art was pretty. I wish I could remember what the first one I read was ^^; |
| Actually I just picked and read some Doraemon manga book which was randomly laying in my house (it's my brother's) and ended up enjoying it, then I started to read every manga my brother had ^.^ |

| All of the few manga I have read always have the same reason why I read them. Continuation of plot from the anime. |
| Best ending line in anime history = "My name is Saiki Kusuo. I am a psychic." |
| Yes the One Piece anime pacing and animation was so bad so I thought maybe I should check out the manga and I did. I'm glad I did. Now I'm OP manga only. |
    ⸢ if you meet your god, tell him to leave me alone. ⸥ ベルセルク |
| I liked the One Piece anime so I went and bought myself one volume. I think it was 70th volume |
