My First Manga

Hey Mina-san!

My first manga ... ahhh! Sure brings back memories! I wouldn't be surprised if you have never heard of it, but the first manga that I ever read and finished was called Kurozakuro. Now when I say my first manga, I don't actually mean the first manga that I ever read, but the first manga that I finished reading (even though its incomplete).

My first manga: Kurozakuro


It was my first summer in London, I didn't really have any friends at that time but my cousin incited me to go and check out the library just by the corner of the street. Reluctantly I went ALONE, and you guys can't even imagine how much I hate going by myself, made a library card then decided I would go upstairs and pick up the first book I would find, and that was when I found Kurozakuro. 

Unfortunately, the local library was pretty small, so all I found was the first volume of Kurozakuro, but I'm pretty happy that there wasn't a second volume because this pushed me to go and look online if you could actually read manga online! Can you believe it! I lived so many years without knowing that you could read manga online! No way! It was like a mind blow for me!

Anyways, getting back into topic, Kurozakuro talks about Sakurai Mikito, a wuss being constantly bullied and never fights back because he is too much of a coward to even hurt someone else. Everything changes when Mikito absorbs a mysterious sphere - Zakuro. Mikito soon begins to have weird feelings, almost like... a desire to eat humans. Will Mikito succumb to his desires? Or will he keep his cool and remain human? If you want to find out you should read this manga! It also has some slight allusions to ogres and monsters and I found this manga pretty interesting and of course, because it was my first manga, I totally loved it! The only thing i'm frustrated about is that it's still ongoing but I haven't seen any updates in 5 years now! 

If you also would like to tell us about your first manga, don't hesitate to post it in the comments and share your experience with us ^^

Dewa Mata!
