I watched the "Death March to the Parallel World Rhapsody". It ended, but I was very interested in the story, so I ended up on mangadex....
Kaguya-sama Love is War. I loved the anime and couldn't wait for another season.
I first got interested in American comics. As it was UK and a few years before Pokemon was released, they were only sold as specialist comics stores, which weren't too common, so I subscribed to a mail order service who had a monthly catalogue for all the new releases. They had all the manga towards the back, and it intrigued me because it looked so different from everything else. I ended up losing interest in American comics and reading manga exclusively after a few months.
My first manga was Gin no Saji and I started that after the anime ended. Once I got into the habit I just picked up more and more.
The good old Doraemon (ドラえもん) haha
My first exposure to "true" manga was definitely Nisekoi. That's of course a direct effect from having watched its anime and Plastic Memories. Now all of my manga catalogs are full of romantic comedy. No ragrets.
Hell, I even read Berserk because there's a bit of romance in it. If there were no sexy scene between Guts and Casca, I wouldn't even touch it.
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.
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 Since when was Kenshin called Samurai X? Is it some old, out of date localization name I don't know about, or what?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.
Must have been a wee lad no older than ten years old when my friend introduced me to Shaman King. After that, I eventually caught up with Naruto and Bleach (and To Love-Ru, bless my heart), and everything kinda spiraled from there.
Shaman kimg was so good! It's shame no one really talks about it anymore...
Anime, but manga is less tiring and i can read at my pace. Also there is way less fillers in mangas.
