It all started with One Piece. <3 I guess it was fifth grade, I got it from my friends, as I can remember.
anime started earlier, somewhere in primary school with Pokemon and One Piece (and Yu-Gi-Oh :rolleyes , as I always complain there's not that much different manga or anime in my country but it's getting better.

I remember it like it was just yesterday. I was eleven, fresh into middle school and no real friends to speak of. Then a girl named Rebecca handed me the first volume of Fruits Basket. It was love at first sight. I've been an avid manga reader ever since.

I think I was maybe 20, didn't really get into reading manga until after highschool for sure. Watched anime since I was a kid but when I finally read a chapter, (i think onepiece, so i could skip all the bs in the arch and find out what happens now!), i saw how great they are.

I started when I was 11 years with Shugo Chara because my friend recommended it (she started reading manga about half a year earlier). For a while I liked only Shugo Chara and tought that I would never find a better. A while after that I found the anime and started watching it. After I had watched it I accidentaly found Tokyo mew mew. That is when I realized that there are many similar and better animes and mangas ^_^

Same here, I've been into cartoons & anime for as long as I can remember (anything from Tom & Jerry to Marvel and anime), but manga are hard to come by here, so my first encounter was on the internet. Unless Disney's Witch magazine counts as manga o.o

I watched Hayao Miyazaki's "Spirited away" when I was seven and had a giant poster of it in my room. Later, when I was nine, I moved to Spain, meaning there was Doraemon on TV. I also loved Inuyasha and a few other anime when I was 11-12, but the first manga I ever picked up (also of Inuyasha) was when I was 11. I sticked to Rumiko Takahashi's work until, one day when I went to buy the next number, the manga shop owner told me he didn't have it and recomended Naruto. That's where it all started...

My sister has a pile of WITCH that she collected when she was a kid.

Not really. If you're american, probably (no hard feelings, okay? ). But in my case, it isn't. I learned how to read at age 4 or 5 with Doraemon as one of my first books. Since then I'm stuck with manga as I enjoyed reading it.
lol. no. I'm not an American. I got exposed to manga 3 years back when I was 15.

I watched both spirited away and howls moving castle, but I didn't know it was anime at the time. I was 7 or 8 at the time. I actually started manga at 13.

I was 13 when I started reading. Way back in 2002 when manga first really started getting big in the states. I remember my friend bringing in the first issue of the American version of Shonen Jump, and my mind being blown over the fact there were "anime comics." The same friend also quickly exposed me to the scanlation community. Man, I miss Toriyama's World and SnoopyCool....
