My first Manga I read was Azumanga Daioh.
It was about 4 years ago. My local library finally had manga books on the shelves.
and all they had was Azumanga Daioh 1,3,&4. Someone had taken 2. and only Vol 5 of +Anima
then in Jan of 2008 I bought my first two books Azumanga Daioh vol 1 and Negima vol 1.
