I was 11.

Man, I click the wrong option it should have been 13-19 as the first manga I read was AKIRA.

I started reading at 32. I'm 34 now.
(Pretear was the first because I liked the anime so much.)

If you've ever thought or said "Nice Guys finish last" and really meant it, then you should probably read this LJ post by DivaLion. It's incredibly insightful whether you're male or female.

From a bumper sticker I like:
"If you're gonna ride my ass, at least pull my hair."

I'd have to say around 12 or so. I didn't full on get into it until about 14ish. My first two I'd ever read were the first volumes of Yu Yu Hakusho and Yu-Gi-Oh!. 😛

Yay for Doraemon at 5! (or maybe even earlier >___>)

although i suppose... i started really getting into manga around 11

Pretty sure I was 31...volume 2 of Ranma 1/2 caught my eye at the local library & I remembered my brother talking about it so I took it home to read. Once I got over being VERY confused (check the beginning of vol. 2, and imagine starting there with no idea of what's going on 🤣 ) I've never looked back. 7 years of semi-obsessive manga reading~~

13 I think. I think Fushigi Yuugi was my first manga to read.

My very first was Cherry Project a longggg time ago i wasn't very old , 14 maybe??, and really it was a summary of the manga with pictures here and there. I first started reading them obsessively at about 18 or 19.

I probably started around five or six, although I only read Doraemon. I have a couple of volumes of it although they're all in Chinese and most are back in the fatherland. I started reading others when I came to the U.S. though, but I didn't seriously reading massive amounts of it until I was around 12.

"0-7" lol...I started reading manga right after my birth...and the first thing I said wasn't "mommy"....it was "manga"

Jokes aside 😀 ...I started reading when I was 17...

Started at 15... My first manga was Fruits Basket that my friend borrowed me... Though I don't like shoujo very much xD

I think when I seriously starting reading manga was the summer before grade 9, so 14 I believe.
