Oh god since at least the mid-90s... Spirit Of Wonder was the first thing I remember reading as a manga (I still have all the issues) and that was from 1996.

Since 2005, but for a year or two after my subscription to Shonen Jump expired I didn't read any manga.

I'm pretty sure I've been reading manga for about twelve years or so, but I became officially obsessed with it about a year ago.

Idk about a year now. For years I thought reading manga was gay and stuck only to anime.

Around the same time I started with anime, but maybe a little later because they don't air manga on TV. So say 8 years give or take 6 months.

The first Japanese comic I ever read was Stray Dog by Hiromu Arakawa. That was in 1999... I didn't read any other manga until 2001, when Fullmetal Alchemist first began its run in GanGan.

So... I really started reading in 2001, but if you want to count Stray Dog, then... Eleven and a half years?

3 years. I mostly buy my manga, that's why I have a small list. But I'm reading more online theses days.

7 months. started when I got tired of waiting for the episodes to come out so I looked ahead on the manga then I realized the manga has a better story than most anime.

Only two years... oh god. How did I even manage to read this much? I think I've sacrificed my television watching for manga reading instead.

Eight years ago found Maison Ikkoku in library, good times. Always liked comics, so this was inevitable.

Not too long if I'm honest. I read a little bit of Gon in comic form around five years ago, but I guess I really only started reading manga just over two years ago, starting with Full Metal Alchemist before moving onto Death Note.

You've read that much in eight years?!
I'm impressed, I thought you were reading since your childhood.

It can't be that long ago. I think I really got into manga about 1.5 to 2 years ago, although I did read Naruto and Bleach earlier than that. I also read a couple of mangas when I was in elementary school, but I never finished any except for Dragon Ball and Kajika.
