Mine was red river
Not totally sure about first manga, but my first anime was Inuyashi when I was 5 or 6. Then I forgot about it till sixth grade when I rediscovered anime by searching for "show with man in red suit and dog ears". (BTW I tried this again and suit had to be changed to kimono to even get two pictures of Inuyasha to show up).
mine was skip beat
I was 15, crazy about Twilight stuff and when I saw Rosario+Vampire at the library, I decided to read (I didn't even know it's from right to left and some parts didn't make sense till I noticed) LOL
I grew up with siblings who read manga so I don't remember specific manga that I could've read for the first time. I know that I really liked Yu-Gi-Oh and Slam Dunk back then.
my sister made me read Naruto when i was really little. the first one i bought was at a local con for like 5$ for two, it was loveless and some other weird manga i cant remember.
ones that i actually picked that were my favorite were probably bakuman because i reaaaaaaaaallllllllly wanted to be a manga artist growing up, i thought it was a cute story but the straight was too strong, and the two guys working together was cute and all but... i liked the girl better. i got into no.6 after that then it lead to my obsession with fiction and queer romance. what was yours birb?
i also picked it up because i liked death note at the time
Hey guis. When did you read your very first manga? (any genre)
Birb is curious
