Um what's an rx7. Just kidding the second line gives it away. But I don't really think the way the mangaka draws the bodies matters. But that's just me. 😛

My first was Ah! My Goddess... a friend of mine told me to read it... and forced me.
I was like, waaah noooo!!! Never!!!
But then... slowly, the poison began to spread.
...I actually enjoyed it.

I just happened to come across them in my local bookstore and I had barely started becoming a fan of the Inuyasha anime, so when I saw the manga, I started buying them. So I guess IY was my first 🙂

The first manga i ever held was Saint Tail. 😛 My dad gave it to me as present when he came back from Japan. It wasn't even in English. I think I just liked looking at the pictures. [i was young then] 😀 I'm sure the first time I ever read manga, it was a scanlation. 😲 tee.hee. I don't remember what manga though. 🤢 barely ever posts at forums 🤣

Let's see... uhmm... my first manga. Damn, I'm not sure really.
I fell into the Anime-trap last year when I watched Howl's Moving Castle, I began watching movies and eventually I began to watch series as well. Cowboy Bebop and Evangelion was my first series. Love Hina and Elfen Lied directly afterwards.
I think that the first manga I read was Love Hina, because I really liked the series and heard that the manga storyline continued for a while after the anime ending.
Afterwards I got started on Ichigo 100%, Kenshin and Koi Kaze, and then I was hooked on manga as well as anime. Happy days!

That one was cute..but sometimes I wonder how i finished it. I saw that anime the first time I went to an anime convention =]
I actually didn't discover scanlations until pretty recently.. I bought a lot of my mangas

Ahaha, I never finished it either. In the anime, I'm somewhere in the hundreds and I don't really read/buy the manga anymore 🤣 Too many volumes @_@...

It is fun being small! Yes, yes, yes, I am tiny, but it has its advantages 🙂
At my school, the hallways are always crowded. So much so, that I wish I had powers like the characters of Heroes, so I could blast the people away/cut off the top of their heads and eat theirs brains Sylar-style [jk] or vectors like Lucy in Elfen Lied, so I could just toss them out of the way. But I actually don't have it that bad since I can duck through the crowd 😀 And not just at school! At busy malls, conventions, and many more places! I feel like I'm advertising now 😀
Oh, and sorry for getting so off-topic, luis. Didn't mean to 🤨
