  • 1. A bookstore so you can look to see what you think looks cool, most bookstores allow you to read their materials to see if you like it.
  • Internet, you can read reviews on different mangas and than see which ones at a glance you like. www.shonenjump.com is a really good site.

Overall Tips & Warnings

  • You can always sell the volumes on ebay if you end up not liking them. But I suggest once you start to keep going.
  • Try Naruto and Dragon Ball, their my favorites.
  • You read from right to left in manga volumes because it would take a lot of work for the publishing companies to change all that just for America and the English speaking countries.
  • You may end up devoting a lot of time and money into this, so be sure you want to do this before you start.
