Do you guys have any particular memories of your first manga experience(s)? I remember walking into Barnes and Nobles as a wee little lad, and asking one of the kind store ladies where the “anime” section as. She told me that it was called manga, and guided me to the proper section. I still remember going every so often with my mom, it was magical every time. I can’t even remember how many times I re-read the first volume of One Piece.
It started with just wanting to know what happens beyond where the anime was (Naruto at the time), then became my preferred medium.
I feel like reading Manga is faster, the action is always paced to my imagination, and it’s just easier to pick up and put down.
