If you are completely new to manga collecting or if you are trying to find something new to get into, one awesome way to discover what manga you may like is to think about what else you are into. If you are into movies, what type of movies do you like? Do you like sci-fi? Do you like funny manga? Horror series? It’s good to start with something you are familiar with, but it’s also good to explore different things as well because you never know if you’ll enjoy them until you try them out.

Not only is it fun to find series you’ve been in search of, but reading them is fun as well. There’s a joy I get from seeing a bookshelf full of manga, and I’m sure that many of you can relate. I collect partially because I surround myself with the things I love, but even more so than that, manga has opened me up to new worlds and perspectives. The opportunities and possibilities with manga feel endless, and this in itself, makes it compelling, but it’s also important to support the manga creators, who’ve created the series that we enjoy and love.
