demonboy Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 My first manga? Well, the first one I read was Hellsing, loved it. Then I read the Naruto manga (english version) english SFX bothered me quite some. But it wasn't until like page 9 with the first mention of "doppelganger" that drove me mad. In desperation, hoping that it was just a one time thing. I read on. It wasn't until around page 30 something that I put it down and never continued it again. What made me turn the english manga down? The words "ART OF THE DOPPELGANGER" printed where "Shadow Clone Technique", "Shadow Clone Jutsu", or "Kage Bunshin no jutsu" should have been printed. That turned me away from VIZ as a company, and it also made me bias when they licenced the Naruto series (which turned out far better than I initially thought, based on how the manga turned out). However the first manga I owned was the Fullmetal Alchemist Vol. 1 english version, the english SFX still bother me, I wish they were in japanese, also, they could at least let the characters say a little more than "dammit" or "hell", especially in the Shonen Jump novels (ie. Bleach). I currently own the Fullmetal Alchemist Volumes 1 thru 3, and Bleach 1-9, I am hoping to buy some Hellsing manga in the future, seeing as how I liked it so much.

Starr112 Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 My very first manga I read was Fruits Basket vol 1. I went to this camp, and there was this girl who was obsessed with anime, so I said hi. She asked me if I ever read manga before, I didn't, so she gave me her Fruits Basket book and taught me how to read manga. Now, that same girl lives far away from me, but we're still friends. (By the way, she had a cool name. It was Ckat. It was spelled like that too. :catgirl: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riku Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 [FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=Navy]Well, let's see... I read my very first manga a long, long time ago, but I still remember what it was... Lum Uatsuri*Yatsura (I forgot how to spell it[/COLOR]....[/FONT] :animeswea )[FONT=Comic Sans MS] [COLOR=Navy]Volume 1 was my very first mini-manga that I've ever read. It wasn't in the regular graphic novel form when I got it, but, after I read some of it, how can I say it... I was hooked to manga from then on. Rumiko Takahashi's works are so awesome that they probably would make anyone convert over to anime/manga. Thankies to Rumiko Takahashi for converting me to the manga world!! If it wasn't for her, my life would be boring today!!! [/COLOR] [/FONT] :animesmil :catgirl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomura Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Wwas issue nine of Shonen Jump. My first graphic novel ever was Naruto v. 1. Since then, SJ and Naruto have been my treasured mangas... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkDragon Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 [CENTER][COLOR=DarkRed][SIZE=1]I think my first manga was [B]Fruits Basket[/B] which I own all of so far. Although, I'm not quite sure it was my first since it was so long ago. But I'm pretty sure it was either [B]Fruits Basket[/B] or[B] Gravitation[/B].

freakydorky Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 My first and FAVORITE manga was DramaCon. I didn't get into manga untill quite recently, I wasn't a very "proud" anime fan. People treat you different because you 'watch cartoons' ... I think I got it twice as bad cuz I'm a girl. For some reason people treat girl nerds differently.....i find it odd.

skatepixie Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 [COLOR=Plum]Fruits Basket. I just got into manga/anime this summer, when a friend of mine from figure skating and school told me to buy Fruits Basket. I got the 1st one, and became totally hooked. Now Im in Anime Club at my school (which was started by the same friend that got me hooked on FB). We are all working on our own mangas at this point (just for fun). And to think it all started with Fruits Basket...[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mewprincess Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 The first manga I read was Cardcaptor Sakura when I was in the fifth grade. It was cool for a while, but after a while, I got tired of it. Now, I'm working on Tokyo Mew Mew. :catgirl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson River Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 The first manga I ever read was Gunparade March. I have only recently discovered the wonders of manga.

Guest kuroinuyoukai Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 When my brother was in high school he let me read some of his Ranma manga. I thought it was hilarious..... I read the first 4 manga again when I spent the night a few months ago. I need to buy them myselfthough. He's too protective of his collection. :catgirl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
