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 have always been a avid reader and spent most of my breaks in high school in the library. My high school just so happened to have a massive collection of manga, all it took was me getting a bit curious one day and I was instantly hooked! I specifically remember reading and re-reading the first couple volumes of one piece as well. I do miss that place quite a bit, I don’t have a public library nearby anymore which really sucks.
