Thread: Your first Manga

My first manga was Tenchi Muyo! I loved the show when I was younger and when I saw the book I begged my mom to buy it for me. I think I was about eight or nine at the time so that was about 1998. I got every volume as they came out and started to compare them with the anime. To this day I still cherish those manga more than all the others that I have now, even though I've graduated to bigger and better things.

My firt manga is DORAEMON.....
I read this manga because...hm...hm.. my brother read it in front of me...
and I am atracted to read it...... then when I begin to read it I'm enjoyed .......
So how about you....?????

Honestly, my first and only manga that I've read is the .hack manga, and that's only because I like the show. I WATCH anime. I don't want to READ anime. I already do enough reading for class.

(this is also why I listen to everything in English)

LOL You really need to read it the manga. The manga follows the series but but there is so much more that wasn't in the series to include two more zodiac members. Its very addictive once you start reading it.

I feltthe same way for the longest time then my friend gave me fruits basket to read. I was totally addicted although it took a little while to figure out the flopped style. As for subbed vs dubbed....I totally agree with you. Its just no fun to read movies. Plus while you are reading you tend to miss whats going on in the movie. Of course I have a lot of fansubs that aren't released inthe us so I just don't have the option of dubbed yet.

After watching my first Anime; Hellsing; I decided to read the Manga afterwards. As you can guess, I now believe the Anime is insuperior to the Manga. (When will Vol.8 be translated )

What I like about the Manga's is there isn't as much restrictions with concerns like time and CG effects to take into acount. Not only that, but the Manga is how the creator intended the story to go, but I still like watching the Animes aswell!

Will clean up this thread removing low quality posts. The way this thread has been going, it's generating too much low quality chat. If you want to talk about your first manga, then try to talk a bit about it. Eg:

• why you chose it
• what you thought of it
• would you recommend it
• does it hold a special place for you as it was your first manga
• good / bad parts of your first manga

Remember, we want to read your quality discussions. Just listing the name of your first manga and saying it was really nice doesn't make the grade.

Thanks for your co-operation.
