The first one I remember purchasing was Dragon Ball, way back when it was being released as a comic book of two chapters. I can't even remember how long ago that was, but I still remember the trouble I had with reading it in its flipped format since at the time I had only ever read American comics.
I still have every single issue of that run though, and it'll always be a special series to me. Even if the main draw of the first issue had to do with a joke about dragon testicles. |

My first manga was Fushigi Yugi. A friend of mine had received a catalog in the mail from Viz and her mom ordered the first dubbed VHS tape. We watched it and fell in love. That was back in 1998. I bought the first volume of manga shortly after.. in the horrible Animerca Extra versions. I remember being so floored with the idea of a girl going back in time to China that it was love at first sight. And it didn't help that Watase's character designs were gorgeous for its time.

Hi all
My first was Ouran High School Host club, because after watching the original anime I discovered that they had a manga (I'm a Western girl) and I just couldn't help myself, thus sparking the heavy buying of other such mangas. But I fell in love with Skip Beat and Nana, amazing reads. |

I choose .hack//Legend of the Twilight because my friend told me it was pretty good and I thought the concept of a story based on events in a video game was pretty cool. I really liked the manga (please don't kill me
) and then getting the first volume of Naruto a month later and then got introduced to Yotsuba&! (one of my all-time favourite series).. and the rest is history!

Mine was Berserk. Awesome story about it too. We had just been displaced because of Katrina to a little town in Western Louisiana. A real farmy area with like one store and one gas station. The nearest McDonalds was literally 45 minutes to an hour away.
I've always been into anime but never got into manga. Well there was literally nothing to do in this town and we had nothing to keep us occupied. So we went to the general store to get some food. In the back of the store was a barrel full of VHS tapes and DVDs. Within this barrel was 2 volumes of The Big O , The entire series of Silent Mobius , and the entire series of Berserk. Suffice it to say i was kind of like.......huh? I didn't know much of either series , but i knew of the Big O from Cartoon Network. So since i had nothing else to do i just bought them all. Two Volumes of The Big O , The entire series of Silent Mobius, and the entire series of Berserk.....................for $26.....and these were NOT pre-owned. I actually enjoyed Silent Mobius , but totally loved Berserk. And as we all know......if you watch the entire Berserk series untill the end....you are left in a state of awe like me and a burning desrie to read whatever happened next. And i've been reading it ever since.....hands down best manga ever |

The first manga I ever read... my university library [melbourne uni rowden white] had a decent collection of manga donated by the uni anime club.
Mind, this was back in the late 90s, so we've got a lot of obscure stuff, most of it [justly] out of print by now: Outlanders, Pixy Junket, Mai the Psychic Girl, Appleseed, Patlabor, BAOH... ... come to think of it, the actual first one I picked up might actually have been Urusei Yatsura. Golly. |

The first manga i read was Love Hina, I had heard much about it from a friend and had been considering giving it a try. I was traveling to South America, which involves a 5 and a 2 hour flight with nothing to do. So i stopped by a book store and bought a couple of volumes along with a book for entertainment.

My first manga was Shirow's Appleseed, way back in the late 1980's (published then by the now defunct Eclipse Comics). It was the artwork that appealed to me initially, very gritty & dark compared to all the Marvel stuff that I was reading at the time.

My first manga was .hack//Legend of the Twilight. I was a big fan of the games at the time and had never even heard of manga. I used to really like it but now I think it's terrible.
My actual first manga was one of the old individual issues of Pokemon I didn't realize at the time that it wasn't just a normal American comic. |
