Discussion Manga/Comic from your childhood....

[weixiaobao]

The sole reason i learn how to read is because of manga/comics..
some of them are more well known than other. This list included those that i began to read from the age of 5 to 12, some are more well known than other:

-one piece (8 years old at the time it began)
-Doraemon and many works from Fujiko F. Fujio
-detective conan and yaiba
-sailor moon, one or so volume (the girls are kawaii to me back then XD) -dragon ball (super huge back in the day)
-dragon quest dais adventure and dragon quest emblem of Roto, -Yu-Gi-Oh(was huge too, years before it even got to America).......
-Black Jack, Cyborg 009, Saint Seiya
-Dr. Slump (is as good as south park to me back in the day)
-Pocket Monster (so funny the main hero is a Clefairy and not pikachu)
-Rakudai Ninja Rantarō (funny ninja academic series)

Spoiler

comics:
-Adventures of Tin Tin
-Lucky Luke (European comic portraying USA wild west) (totally love it)
-Old Master Q (a funny chinese comic)
-Voltron

Spoiler

Well, the whole reason i post this thread is that there are three manga series that was really popular in vietnam in my childhood eventhough it may published in japanese way earlier than that.. But i found almost no information on them on the web despite their popularity.. so i wonder if anyone of you still remember them or have read them already:

-Kattobi Itto (a funny soccer manga that probably rival the modern "whistle" manga series..)
-Orewa Teppei (a funny kenpo manga series)
-Captain Kid (one of my favorite sailor/pirate theme manga, the epic adventure may even rival that of one piece)

Spoiler

It took me forever to find out their name in English. There was another series i vaguely remember about high school gangster like theme, one of the scene i remember was a huge gathering of hobos (if anyone know what i am talking about please PM me if you know what the title of it is)

So did you guys read any of those series.. and what is you childhood manga/comic list...

Hmm, I wasn't a huge fan of comics back when I was young. I did collect as much Doraemon series as I could though they are all gone now, borrowed by my cousins and nvr seen again.

Besides that, I suppose I read Archie and Garfield. That's pretty much it.

Yeah, i know how you feel, i am very generous with my collection and i marked all my manga with special mark.. But some people riped it off and put there own mark on it as prof that it was there ..

uwaah...haven't see Captain Kid pics for a long time, i remember having one or two volumes for that, i really like Kid's sword design but now it's lost together with my complete DBZ and 13 volumes of Tekken Chinmi (Kung Fu Boy in Indonesia) collection and my sister's Doraemon.After that comes a couple series of Atom/Astro Boy, Gon, Zoids, and Kung Fu Tao.
As for comics, some Asterixs comics and Disney's like Donald Duck.
I lost all of them cause i was too careless at that time, as elementary boy i lending them to friends or cousins, without every single of it ever come back to me at the end just like Azurel did.

I feel kinda sad now, remembering how i have to cry to my mom just to have her bought those to me when they released them here...i'm having a thought about recollecting them all again since i take a good care of my collection now (OP, Bleach, Shaman King, Naruto, Rave, etc).I believe our publisher here still have the stocks for DBZ, but not quite sure for Captain Kid, i don't even see any rent place here that have a complete series.

 

[Houjou]

Crayon Shin-chan, my first manga. I was like 6 or 7 years old and I didn't even know what "manga" was

 

[Emy]

Doraemon, Gegege no Kintaro(not sure about the tittle) and... hmmmm... I can't remember the name but was some shojo ballerine manga ^^; and others that I can't remember either ~.~;;

Turma da Monica
Menino Maluquinho
Alegria (well not exactly a comic... but... a colorbook w/ comics? @_@ )
Os Trapalhões
Disney comics like Mickey, Donald, etc...

 

[Az3r]

Doraemon, Kung Fu Boy (Tekken Chinmi), Atom/Astro Boy, and Dragon Ball. Those are about some titles I read in my childhood that I can remember. I read some Chinese comics too back in the day, mainly Wong Yuk Lung's comics (Dragon Tiger Gate and some other titles that I forget what the English title were).

 

[bunshindattebayo]

Mostly Doraemon and Dragon Ball.

hey, do you remember a series that feature pool game... I think it chinese, and there was one that feature the twelve zodiac with martial art and stuffs, I don't remember those title since i only have a few volumes and not the entire set when i was young.. I left most of them behind before coming to the USA

Mostly Doraemon and Dragon Ball.

typical answer, yeah the good old day before they went Z ..

 

[Luckas]

@weixiaobao: Do you mean Saint Seiya when you talk about the 12 Zodiac?

 

[weixiaobao]

no no .. saint seiya is also an old series.. well i meant 12 chinese zodiac.. and it may not be a manga series maybe chinese comic ...

 

[bebekhappy]

@weixiaobao : i've checked it, it was first published in 1993 in Japan, and 1994 here, so yeah i was probably 11-12 yo too when i read this .it was completed in 13 volumes and worked by Hiroshi Uno i've looked in mangaupdates for some info about this manga and mangaka but no luck .

note : i reread a couple volumes, and i'm excited when i read the name of Kid's sword is Black Lightning.It really nice to have some of your childhood memories back

.. i no longer have any volumes .. anyway are they in Indonesian or English? I wonder if we could spark enough interest for a Edited Manga group to pick up this series..

 

[admirenkiwi]

hmm wasnt a comic freak when i was little...
but i would say i started with sailormoon, dragonballz, scorcerer hunters, ranma, inu-yasha...i think thats it O_O

I don't recall I've read something like that. Sorry...

Then again, maybe it's released in Indonesia, but I don't have the chance to get it. There was an independent publisher in Indonesia that likes to pick up Chinese comics but their releases are rarely available in my hometown at that time. Sadly they are broke many years ago. I remember reading one of their releases, I think it was Chinese comics (can't remember the title), it features Ken from Street Fighter together with Kenshiro from Fist of the North Star! I don't really care about it at that time, but now that I think again, it's kind of awesome, though still strange nonetheless.

 

[Gumx2]

This reminds me to old days, even I'm not tht old(yet) .. I started reading manga when I was 5 .. I stole my uncle's Doraemon and read it secrectly .. lol .. what a naughty boy I am, XD

 

[beta]

childhood you said? definitely doraemon. when i grow up a bit more dragon balls

 

[Emily00]

I was... and still am a big Sailor Moon fan, so much that IRL I own the japanese mangas and read them (to the best of my current japanese ability) a lot still. I also was a DBZ fan too, watched all the episodes and read all the manga but I don't own em. :P

 

[n8starr]

I actually never got into manga till just recently, mostly american comics here. I think the first manga i really got was One Piece or a korean manwha, Ragnarok. From there it branched out to a lot of different ones, like Gintama, Doraemon, and others. I wish i would have been priviliged to read doraemon when i was a kid, from the english chapters i've read it would have been something i would have loved! As for comics from my childhood, I used to read Archie, Sonic The Hedgehog, Richie Rich, and any related to these... it was mostly cartoons for me tho...

 

[3TimesAsAnonymous]

When I was younger I didn't really like comics at all, and didn't know what manga was.

When Shonen jump came out in America, that was when I first started getting interested in anime and manga. Stuff like Naruto, and DBZ were in it at the time.
