So, we've done a thread on what your first Anime was with some interesting results. The general consensus (myself being against the norm on this one) was Sailor Moon. Now let's go to the other half of our happy little obsession. MANGA! What was your first manga that you read? What got you into it? Tell us a little. Are you still into it? Would you reccoment it? Etc.
For me, it was Kareshi no Kanoji no Jijyou commonly known as Kare Kano and His and Her Circumstances in the *coughecrazycough*anime. How did I get into this crazy love story. Well, it was courtesy of my always there partner in crime, your president, Danni Connell. She was a freshman in high school and I was in 8th grade. She picked it up for some reason or another really early on in it's release. She read it. I read it. Thinking it was going to be a 13 vol. series, money was invested in it. Then TokyoPop decided to confuse and anger us by saying that it had 21 volumes in the United States while Japan had only 13. It took us until this last school year to finally reach the conclusion. We're still a little bitter about that one.

I believe my first one was Ah My Godess, I borrowed it from a kid in my study hall during freshman year. I would say it is one of the better Shoujos I've seen lol.

My first manga was Great Teacher Onizuka.... makes me wish I had a teacher like that in high school. =P
I mean the first issue reveals that the initial reason Onizuka wants to be a teacher is so he can be surrounded by high school girls. (I was pretty much sold and read a whole bunch in Borders... because I can... you know, and not buy it). Though I did eventually start buying a few.
Finishing it is still on my to-do list... and I can recommend the series highly, not just if you can appreciate the humor, but if you want to take a good, hard look at some of the 'issues' (for lack of a better term) that Onizuka faces while winning his class over.
Much of the series is actually written to bring to light flaws in Japan's educational institutions.
(But it's still pretty damned funny).

My first manga. Oh boy, that takes me back. I would have been 11 or 12 and I was living in France at the time and there were several manga in a magazine called Club Dorothe (which was also a TV show that played the same series). It had Dragonball Z, Nicky Larson (City Hunter), and Les Chevalier du Zodiac aka Knights of the Zodiac (Saint Seiya). There were one or two others but I think it was shojo-type stuff and I didn't really watch that part.
