the first manga i've read was lupin III, it's kinda famous here in the philippines and in japan, a classic one, I guess. it's about a thief, somewhat naughty but kind and a humorous one. it's good 'cause it has a comical and funny element added with action. my friends love anime and manga that's why they kinda influenced me with that.

The first manga series that I started buying was Fruit's Basket, and that was also the first series that I read. I have volumes 1-20 on my shelf, and even though I can read the rest of the series online, I am going to wait for the printed version. That way, I have something to look forward to getting. I love the series, they all almost feel like family. I have cried so many times as I read through the series because some of the events in the story are very sad, and the fact that the characters are crying sometimes makes me cry!

The very first manga series I read and bought was Sailor Moon. That was back in the days when manga was really rare in bookstores.

The very first manga that I think I could consider reading would be I"s of Masakazu Katsura. A shonen manga in teen drama or romance genre.
At first its all humourous and all, school life as the story is set but, as it moves along, the content also complies with maturity.
