For me, I had a friend who was crazy about shojo manga so I decided to try reading it. 5 years later, and now I am the crazy one, just instead shojo it is yaoi. (≧∀≦)
Boku no pico, I wish I was joking.
My friend in elementary school came over and showed it to me as a joke. I was 12 and scarred.
However he showed me fairy tail, soul eater, and full metal alchemist after and I became hooked. I also used to be a huge Pokémon fan when I was young so that probably started the fire.
Oof, I was talking about anime not manga. I started reading AOT at the same time though.
one day my phone gave me a notification for an update of the fairy tail manga online (i'd been avidly watching the anime). at first i was mindblown, since i never thought i'd be able to read manga because i'd have to buy it, and after that i started reading manga online.
Anime.
I finished an anime and people melt talking about the manga so i decided to read it, I've also found a manga that i was looking for a while. I just wanted to try manga out i guess
I knew that the anime I was watching had a manga series and most manga plots are ahead of the anime. So when a cliff hanger appeared I decided to read the manga.
My local library’s kid manga section. My first book was cardcaptor sakura.
Because I found out that the Soul Eater manga had more to the story than the anime and a different ending so I picked up the first volume. Nowadays I have at least 100 manga on my shelf and read a ton online
I saw a page of some random Yaoi manga. Then I thougt, "this poster is black and white. The hell is this?" So I found out that it was called a Manga. Then I started trying some. Then I thought "Oh, its an anime book" (don't judge, I was once a newbie too), then I got hooked just as how I was into Anime
Q= how did you get into reading manga?
