Let's start off this series of questions with a big one:

What got you into Mangas in the first place?

For me, it was Neon Genesis Evangelion. I loved the Anime and it, naturally, left my still developing young teenage brain very confused. So when I learned that there was a "Comic" about it, I was convinced that it was going to provide some additional info the show left out (like books usually do). I didn't like the black/white aesthetic at all at first and stopped reading halfway through the first volume initially, but picked it up again a few weeks later and practically devoured the whole series over the course of the next few days.

It didn't really give me any of the answers I initially hoped for, but it definitely hooked me onto this whole "black and white comics for adults"-vibe I got from it back then. And I just never stopped picking up new ones for close to 20 years now.

Now, let's hear your own background stories!

Hard to remember as it is about 25 years since I had my first contact with Anime and Manga. I still remember that it was Sailor Moon, first the Anime then the Manga, which got me hooked and it still has a special place in my heart, but it was not my first Manga.
