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.
My very first manga was Naruto after I ran out of anime episodes. Didn't touch another manga for years until I did the same thing with demon slayer which lead to me doing the same for a few of the really popular animes at the time. It wasn't until I'd heard about chainsaw man when the anime adaptation was announced that I'd say I shifted from "anime watcher that sometimes reads ahead" to "actual manga reader"
