In my opinion manga and anime are two sides of the same coin. It's hard for me to think of one without thinking of the other. More than being an anime junkie I'm a manga junkie and my love for anime derived from my love for manga.
With that in mind I'd like to know who around here is into manga as well. Which are your favourite series? Have you been collecting manga for long or is it something recent? Do you usually buy manga first and then watch the respective anime or do you do it the other way around? I'd like you fellow manga junkies around here to share your passion with me.
I began collecting manga about 6 years ago but it wasn't until three and half years ago that I began collecting it massively. My beautiful collection (I'm really proud of it :p) reached 460 volumes last Saturday when I bough volume 1 of Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle (by CLAMP). At the moment my favourite titles are GTO (by Toru Fujisawa), Basara (by Yumi Tamura), Samurai Deeper Kyo (by Kamijyo Akimine), Nana (by Ai Yazawa), Bleach (by Tite Kubo) and Legal Drug (by CLAMP). My favourite author is Kaori Yuki, I'm crazy about her work (her art is fabulous) and I recommend her titles (in particular Angel Sanctuary) to every manga fan out there. Because I have much more manga than anime I usually read the manga first and if I like it I buy the anime, but I've also bought manga after watching and liking a particular anime title(like Berserk and N. G. Evangelion).
It seems kristym22 digged out an older thread that's similar to mine so if anybody thinks it's pointless to keep both of them (even though I asked a few more questions) please tell me and I'll delete this one.
