My very first Shounen was Dragonball.
I was a kid and never learned that it was called 'anime' until a number of years later 🤣

First shounen manga...I think it might have been Naruto. Although by that point I'd watched quite a few anime based off shounen manga, like Dragonball/Z, Rurouni Kenshin and Yu Yu Hakusho.

First shounen anime I ever saw was Dragonball.

"It is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science."

First Shounen? Not any of those famous ones. I discovered manga through some online comics website... (Cybermanga.com) and from there, I learnt there were other types of comics besides American, European and Chinese comics. That was in the mid-90s when I was very big into discovering the world of online comics as a medium.

Around that time, of course, I also "rediscovered" anime through "Cowboy Bebop". Before that, I think I watched anime dubbed in Chinese as a kid in the 80s(can't recall the name).

Then I forgot about manga for years and then rediscovered Japanese shounen comics through Naruto and so on. 🙂

Quote from milque

But my first proper shounen is Tetsuwan Atom.

That was my first shounen anime. My first shounen manga was probably something like City Hunter or Ranma 1/2. Don't really remember now.

My first shounen anime is probably Ranma 1/2 or Yuyu Hakusho.
My first shounen manga is Shaman King.

Well, my first anime was definitely before I started school. I think around 3. I'm pretty sure it was Akira (might be seinen, though) when it came on late at night once. I was watching with my brothers, they loved it, but I couldn't understand it at all.
Lupin III:Castle of Cagliostero(?) came on around that time too. I understood that and enjoyed it a great deal.
I'm pretty sure Sailor Moon came on TV around then, but that's not shounen, is it?
I have clearer memories of Pokemon around preschool-kindergarten years followed by DBZ, though. We actively downloaded DBZ (e.g the movie about goku's father and non-dubbed episodes) and finally realised that the ones we were watching were censored.

My first manga...My brothers would borrow Chinmi from the library when I was in kindergarten (5 years old), but I wasn't interested. At about 8 my brother showed me scanlations of naruto, followed by One Piece and Bleach.

there weren´t many shounen anime on tv when i was young (and there were no manga here), but i guess it was beyblade

Dragonball for Shounen.

The Bird of Hermes is my name, eating my wings to make me tame.

Ranma 1/2 was my very first manga ever, too. I think it was one of the few series my library actually had, along with Ah! My Goddess and Inuyasha. I was a pretty timid kid though, so I wasn't too fond of Inuyasha cause it scared me. LOL
I loved Ranma though. I still haven't read all of the volumes.. I should really get started on that. Haha.

Well...I actually accidentally read my first shounen without actually understanding the label 'shounen' on mangafox. Later I learnt what it mean... 😀 It was Onidere and I've dropped it because I lost interest.

My first was Pokemon: The Electric Tale of Pikachu. It was also my first manga, but I didn't know this since it was in comic format. The first I read knowingly as a manga was Yu-gi-oh, my second manga.

DESU NOTO.
Was a good start, excellent artwork. Like the regular manga novice I was so engaged I read through it in no time.

I rate manga with 5 being the average score.

Yu-Gi-Oh!

Played the trading card game and watched the anime, so it was the only thing I knew about.
