Mine was doraemon.
I think anyone who lived in south-east asia had doraemon as their first.

Same though I started with Millennium World, not the original story.
Then the girls are the ones that look like guys :C
But I guess that works for me too.

Welp, the tides have turned. Attacking first in Shonen is a death sentence.
The first manga I bought was probably Bleach or Naruto. The first series I bought fully was Uzamaki.

Fuck, Yu-gi-oh is actually definatly my first.
I learned about it reading OPM back when Duelst of the Rose came out, and they mentioned in the article about how the manga version was basically Yami lighting people on fire and stuff, not playing cards, and I was like "Man, I should read that!". I bought the first Volume, and the most recent issue of Shonen Jump, which was the 7th issue
With that I got the Viz sampler, which was a 200 page volume with an early chapter of like 10 different series (Nana, Basara, Boys over Flowers, Flame of Recca, Excel Saga, Project Arms, whatever the series where the guy has a girl on his hand and others), which is how I learned about Flame of Recca.

Midori's Days was pretty cute.
This also reminds me I think I own all the Shounen Jump print volumes they did. Somewhere. Taking up lots and lots of room.

My first read manga was Dragon Ball, it was all the rage in the 90s and when tv emission stopped in a point, some friends (in elementary school!) started buying the manga, and I read it from then.
My first bought manga... dunno. I think one of the first was the Dominions Tank Police volume, because I have watched the OVA previously. A good first buy, all thing considered.

All I remember was that it had uncensored boobs in the preview, and that kind of blew my 15 year old mind "wait, they don't check IDs for this?!?"
Or, that Viz was giving this away for free to anyone who bought something, even if it was for kids.
My first manga was technically Doraemon. I couldn't read my cousin's volumes back then (I was like 3), so I asked my aunt to read them for me. She disapproved of all the violence and misanthropy but indulged me anyway. This was when I was living in China and Doraemon was called, in Chinese, Machine Cat.
The first manga I read that I recognized as its own medium was Chobits.
Says it all, really.

Well there is Ranma 1/2 which had boobs all the time anyway. Hell, I remember it being one of the more popular series in the library.

There is an audience for SAO everywhere in the world. My BRD vol 1 for the anime just shipped today and I can't wait to receive it, while waiting for the LNs to finally be released over here.
Yup. This a lot.
Kingdom Hearts : Zawsze in Love.
Join Raku as he travels around many lands trying to open the pendant that leads to kingdom hearts. Spend 20+ hours wondering the pride lands shuffling between filler after filler - only enjoying the occasional plot in Radiant Garden.
Or something like that.

Yoneyan team for best team. Incredible teamwork with many of the other minor characters participating too. I wanted Izumi to get a moment too, but this is alright. I wonder what Aftokrator member will be the next to be defeated?

Man it's like everyone started with Doraemon.
Hi Score Girl ch1-11
I wanted to see what was the fuss, and well it was a rather interesting read. The art is kind of weird. Not in a bad way, mind. I rather like it, kinda reminds me of Chargeman Ken! for some reason. Nice concept, with lots of games being shown. Not many RPGs though, aside from a mention of FF4, but it's understandable considering the focus on multiplayer games (I wonder how Pokemon will impact on their lives).
The various interactions are nice, mainly due to the rather atypical characters (they're rather exaggerated, which keeps things from just being a boring showcasing of various games). It really makes you want to see how the characters will develop their relationship (ch9 was a nice milestone for plenty of things).
The mother is the best character. Holy shit.
Now let's all get bullied together by the moonrune bully, hekk! （・∀・）
So did I.

I actually thought you were one of us Lain. LN is ok but the anime too? You might as well buy endless eight vcds.

Seriously though. Ciel scans are really slow. What other projects are they working on?

what's wrong with the pride lands
The dream.
As cnet said, a Nisekoi game can be fantastic if they make it like the Oreimo games on PSP: Original routes for every girl, so you can just choose your favorite and all your dreams will come true, instead of the weekly going nowhere.
All harem things should have games, actually, best girl loses too often :/

Speaking of endless eight, is Haruhi still alive? That trolling attempt really cost KyoAni when I think about it.

Man, the first manga I bought was dragon ball circa 1999 I think.
But I bought Manga Player in 1997-1998 (French counterpart of Shonen Jump), which had super duper awesome manga. That's how I discovered Ah! My Goddess, You're Under Arrest, Gunsmith Cats, Ghost in the Shell, 3x3 Eyes (which I STILL haven't finished due to missing volumes. But I won't despair, I'll find them), Flag Fighter (which aborted shortly after IIRC), Magic Knight Rayheart and freaking GTO.
They were bought shortly after and reborn as "Pika Editions" and released GTO, and the rest is history. I consider them to be at the origin of the modern manga markt in France.
