What got you into manga?
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.

I was unhappy with how samurai x ended. I found the manga when searching samurai x in Google. After I finished that, I remembered my friend in elementary school had a pencil box which had cool pictures with slam dunk written on it. So I looked for slam dunk "comics" next. These are the first two manga I read.
What's Samurai X? I've never heard of that one.
I should read Slam Dunk one day, one of the grand daddies of sports manga.

I also recommend GTO if you haven't read it.
Holy hell, am I uninformed??? Since when was Kenshin called Samurai X? Is it some old, out of date localization name I don't know about, or what?
Another one on the list, many thanks.
I also grew up with it being called samurai x. But I also started reading Manga before I could read it online so I only got translated Mangas from publishers (professional translators) instead of reading fan translations that you can find more easily today. I actually had a very hard time with all of the Japanese names because they are typically very long and back then did I not know any Japanese 😂
