City of Amnesia

my first was called I.N.V.U. it took me a while to realize that it wasn't an acronym. i gave it away a couple years later... i don't know what came over me.

Big O, Volume Six.

I read the others, but I bought this one though.
Peace.

Magic Knights: Rayearth Vol. 1, the cover art was so pretty that i just had to buy it!

One of the evangelion ones.

As you can guess, since that day I don't ever buy or really even think about manga

LOLZ. The Pokeymans manga.  ;D

I had gotten an award for something or other at school back in sixth grade. It was a gift certificate to the local mall, which I spent on said manga.

You think that's bad?

I bought the first five volumes of the Evangelion manga. I was tricked into it, I swear.
Peace.

My first manga. My very first manga, that I purchased, was Ranma 1/2, volume 1. Back when Ranma was still in the large format, so a single copy was 17 bucks. I never looked back.
War.

Electric Pikachu Boogaloo.

Hey, at least I am being honest.

my first manga was Big O vol.1

Love Hina.

I want to emphasize it was my first manga. Not my best.

ZOMG! Pikachu had its own manga?!

wow. i thinks it sad that i gave my first away... i miss it sometimes... do you all still have yours?

Also, a later manga I bought was Urotsukidoji: Legend of Overfiend. It's actually pretty good.
War.

Mine was an issue of Ranma 1/2. A single issue. XD It was really back in the day.

That's a tough one, but it was probably the first volume of Ah! My Goddess, which I purchased in conjunction with several subsequent volumes (of the same series).

First manga I remember buying is Gundam Wing: G-Unit, in japanse for the sake of collecting.

...Too obvious.

Mine would be the first volume of Cowboy Bebop: Shooting Star. I'd like to think my tastes in manga have improved since then.

First Manga I ever bought was the one for Big O.

First Manga I ever read was Ranma 1/2. Funny story about that. I was like, seven or eight at the time, found it at a bookstore, it reminded me of those old eighties animes I used to watch as a child. I handed it over to my dad, he asked if I had read any of it, he had a disapproving looks so I lied and said no. He said I wouldn't be mature enough to read something like that at approximately twenty one years of age, and made me put it back. I finally got a chance to actually read the series at about sixteen, and it was the first manga series I ever finished.

haha, the first i read was DBZ 1. I was so confused cuz it was backwards. I'm staring to wornder how far back "back in the days" was. How old were you when you bought them?

I bought Ranma at 10. Big sized Viz manga for 17 bucks. Legend of Overfiend was... a while later.
War.

I was thirteen... it took me a while to realize what i liked.

<geek> The first manga I actually bought were two books of Fushigi Yuugi and one of Kodomo no Omachi in raw Japanese. At Otakon. This was when FY was just starting to get translated here and I was already following the series online (and owned a few subbed VHS-- official crap though, not fansubs!), and a pretty good while before Kodachi was translated but I'd just heard about that one and it looked cute, never actually got into it.</geek>

Ahhh, dorkier years. But seriously, Fushigi Yuuigi, what was I thinking!?

~J

I don't like most fansubs. They like throwing the words "fu*k" ans "sh*t" around a little more than I think necessary. It's moronic. Plus, apparently no one has any idea how to write a decent srt file, so they burn the subtitles into the video. Which is, again, moronic.
War.

Fansubs burn my eyes. at least they're not fanDUBs. god save us from those.

The first one? ??? Let me think...back to the 90's...maybe "Cat's Eye" by Tsukasa Hojo.

Spawn.

FLCL. Both books together. Books>Anime. Takkun gets the Vespa instead of the Guitar.

Big O vol. 1.

The first one I read however was DBZ and pokemon.

I think I flipped through one of these once, don't they make haruko into like..way more of kind of a callous sociopath in those
