Discussion My first manga was...and why

[jorped]

My first manga was Naruto, though at the beginning i started with the anime, and only later discovered what an "anime" and "manga" really was.
Naruto after this almost 3 years that i started "watching", "reading" is still my favourite

Can never quite remember clearly what my first manga was...Pretty sure it was Bleach, but something else tells me it could have been Inuyasha since it was the first anime I watched. Although, I was introduced to the manga world by my older sister who was familiar with it.

Naruto

I started watching anime in college and Naruto was a series I liked a great deal, didn't even know what manga was at the time, but when the series hit filler arcs I just couldn't understand how or why it got so bad so quickly. So I did some internet research, found out that it was based off of a form of japanese comic and started reading. I found the source material to be better than the anime so I stuck with it. And then started giving other series a try. Overtime that snowballed and now I read almost everything, or at least I try to.

My first manga was Fushigi Yuugi (Vol1) back when i was in 4th grade and didn't really know the difference between 'comic' and 'manga'.
I didn't pick it out but my sister did and she told me it was because it was based on China (I'm Chinese) and she picked it out and borrow it from the library.

My first manga was Dragon Ball. <3
The whole collection until the beginning of Buu arc was on my big brother bookcase.

My first manga was Inuyasha. My first anime was DBZ.

My first manga was D.Gray-Man because I had seen some of the anime and discovered that most animes are just adaptations from their respective manga.

Still my favorite manga, still wait hopelessly each month (and often longer) for the new chapters. The woes of being caught up with your favorite manga.

My 1st manga was Naruto . Just like Naomidee said 1st i watched anime and then i found out the animes are adaptations from the mangas

Naruto was also the manga and anime that made me fall in love with Shounen genre Thank god i discovered it otherwise i wouldn't be here today

My first was Battle Angel Alita when I was 18.
I'd read an article with James Cameron in a newspaper and it said he wanted to make a movie out of this manga after he'd made avatar 2 (it even called the technology "just practise" for BAA).

At the time I was just an anime nut, and had no idea where to even find a manga shop - google solved that and now I prefer it to anime by a long way!

Either Doraemon or Astro Boy. Still love it until now
Simple yet touching story for 10 years old me back then.
