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 watched the ReLIFE anime in a particular point of my life where I really needed it - it truly changed my path forward. The issue is though, the ReLIFE anime end at roughly half of the manga… So I had to read it to learn the rest. Now I prefer manga in general because I can sneak in some reading time pretty much everywhere on my phone.
