Every one of my friends is into manga now because of me and my friend Marc, We got a bunch of them hooked on Akira and Trigun, and then later on told them about manga, now I have a neat little circle of anime freaks to talk to.

Many of my friends who are into anime / manga tend to already like the same things that I do. With my wide range in tastes for manga, there are many similarities that my friends and I enjoy.
Example, I was talking with one of my friend during our Graphic Design class, and I was talking about Sorcerer’s & Secretaries. She said that she really enjoyed that one and asked about Dramacon, Mark of the Succubus, and several others as well. We both enjoyed all of those series thus far.
But as with all friendships we do have some differences. I like Battle Royale and Remote as well, and she never really got into them. But she has agreed to try them out if I agree to try out some of her other tastes as well. So we are currently exchanging and reading each other’s top picks to see what we think.

I got my mom hooked into this yaoi series, Antique Bakery.
I also hooked my friend in the Netherlands into Demon Diary.
I gave one of my friends the first 3-4 volumes of Ragnarok, and my other friend volume 6 of Planet Ladder.
I'm trying to get my mom to read Tokyo Babylon now. :D

I got one of my friends Lilitha into ALL KINDS of anime, and she never heard of Yaoi....till I let her borrow some XD So, Thanks to me, one chibi is now a biiiiiig anime fanatic ^_^V Other then that, it's usually the other way around. Two of my friends (who are sisters o.o) Got me into anime, manga, and most of the anime/manga I like, they learned about it first and told me about it. ^^;

I've gotten my sister and a friend hooked on several. Some have included Kare Kano, Samurai Deeper KYO, Trigun, Megatokyo, Chobits, and Death Note. I've also turned them on to some online webcomics like The Seraph Inn and Apple Geeks. It's fun to have a wider group to fuss about points in the storyline.

I've gotten about 8 people hooked on the Bleach anime, and about half of those on the manga as well. I've got my mom watching Wolf's Rain, my dad is watching Bleach and Blood+, my brother's watching Full Metal Panic- TSR, GetBackers, Rurouni Kenshin, Elfin Lied, Gravion, Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, and Bleach. Got my sisters to watch Angelic Layer, DN Angel, Nadesico, Full Metal Panic! and FMP? Fumoffu, and Pilot Candidate... I've got my girlfriend watching Bleach, Kenshin, Kino's Journey, and GetBackers, and one of my other female friends loved Elfen Lied, has watched Kino's Journey, Evangelion, Avenger, Noir, and is currently watching Gundam Seed...
As for manga, can't seem to get too many people to read it... almost all the manga I own are right-to-left, and they can't really seem to get the hang of it, but I'm trying. I've got a couple to watch and read Please Teacher, and go over the differences between the two, so that was fun.

That's same here earthboundwish!! I'm a library for some.
Let's see:
Pretear, Model, Mars, Ceres. And I get everyone addicted to You Higuri's stuff. ;)
I try to addict everyone to Rebirth. But I SOOOO won't let those go (be borrowed), as no one takes good enough care of my stuff THAT good, and I reread them so oft, that they'd never have them back in time for me to be happy.

I'm the unofficial "manga library" within my group of friends. They pretty much borrow most anime/manga related stuff from me. But one of the series that I got them hooked on was Death Note. At first none of my friends had even heard of it. Blasphemy! I just had to share the Death Note-y goodness with them.

During high school I was probably the school's unofficial manga and anime library. I got a lot of my friends started to even liking anime and then shamelessly promoted everything I had (Especially CLAMP). I would bring two or three anime or manga each day, lend them out, and get a couple different ones back from friends.
I got most of my friends hooked enough that they ended up buying a lot of the series I lent them :D

I got a few of my friends addicted to Naruto, and I got my cousin hopelessly addicted to Fullmetal Alchemist.
The problem is that most of these friends of mine have much better computers than me, and/or are not opposed to spoilers, so they end up downloading all the episodes (long story short, my computer sucks so I cant download) and thus knowing more about it than I do. A couple of my friends (if they can be called that :p ) like to annoy me by constantly talking about things I dont know about, and by giving me spoilers against my will.

Am proud to say that I have converted all my friends. I was so lonely at my new school because no one else knows what manga and anime are. So, after a year or so of hard work, all my friends are pretty much addicted. Also proud to say that I have converted quite a few into yaoi fangirls, and we've been terreorizing everyone else with smutty pictures since. XD

For me, I live in a town where pratically no one has heard of manga. So, my friends that like manga now only like it because I introduced it to them. There are a variety of manga and anime they are addicted to that I fed them *evil laugh* But I think I won over most of them with Battle Royale and Fushigi Yugi.

You are talking about the OVA right.... Although the Incognito one was good, I like the original story better.
Anyway, I have gotten my friends addicted to Deathnote. I think it was 3-4 people in less than an hour. They never read manga before, but Deathnote hooked them. BTW Deathnote is really good.
I got one of my friends addicted to anime and manga in general when i gave her Tokyo Mew Mew to read, and now she's gone through most of my anime and manga collection.
And i got one of my friends that hates anime and manga to read Death Note, but she says that the art is nice (she normaly criticises the art and says that they have bug eyes and stuff) but she says the storyline is bad (which is so not true).
I also got a friend obsessed with Fruits Basket, and she's still borrowing the manga.

It was really the other way around.
My friend Emmy let me look at Tokyo Mew Mew and Pita Ten. What ended up happening was that I would buy a volume and she would read it while I read one that she had bought. We kept switching off. That's why I have the even volumes of Tokyo Mew Mew. x]
I got her hooked on Mars. Another got me hooked on Love Hina. When I think about it now, it was very talkative with hardly any action. Then again, that's just my opinion. Hm... I can't think of anything else.

Most of my friends are big into anime/manga already, so I haven't really converted, per se, any of them into it- at least not completely.
But my friends and I have gotten each other into different series. I've gotten my friends into DNAngel, Yami no Matsuei, Pretear, Escaflowne, etc.

Once upon a time I went to my local library and saw a pretty book on the shelf entitled 'Fruits Basket', so I took it home and read it.
I left it sitting in the lounge one day, and I soon discovered my younger sister sitting there reading it and giggling at Kyon and Yun-yun and the rest. She demanded I get the rest of the series.
She then proceeded to distribute the series amongst her friends at High School. Soon most of the school were reading and gigling about Kyon and Yun-yun and the rest. (She did the same with FMA, Chobits, Bleach, Tsubasa Chronicle, etc.... )
So personally, no. I haven't convereted my friends into otaku fangirls (most of them were to begin with) but my younger sister almost singlehandedly turned the school into Kyon/Yun-yun/Haru fangirls...

^ I loved Paradise Kiss, unfortunatley my friends didn't feel quite the same about it but hey.
Okay, so this was more like my friends got me hooked on it then it just kinda spread around the group with my help. But we're all majorly addicted to Saiyuki >.< Such an amazing plot, so well written, amazing art. We just LOVE IT.

death note for my male friends and loveless for my female friends. they want me to cosplay as ritsuka haha.
I got almost all my manga buddies hooked to the manga Sequence, just recently. And even the one who isn't in love with it said it was okay. (Even if he said he hated it he would probably be made if I didn't at least ofer it to him to read, so his real opinion is questionable.)
P.S. If you like humor and demons/spirits, check it out.

I'm a lot older than the majority of these forum members here. Unfortunately my friends and family are professionals and are too obsessed with materialistic goals. I'm all alone with my love of mangas and anime

My friends and I have gotten each other into numerous series by swapping our graphic novels because it's so much more fun to share the fandom! I got all of my friends into Peacemaker, three into The Prince of Tennis, and one into Gintama.

The only one I've successfully gotten my friend to like is GTO :O
When naruto first came out in japan I tried to get all of my friends into it and they said it was stupid... I got over naruto and started liking bleach a while after it started in japan (like 6 or 5 volumes into the series?) and by then all of the friends who said naruto was stupid liked it now and I tried to get them into bleach and they said "that looks stupid have you read naruto?" ... etc. etc. so I've just got to say that recommending manga to my friends is useless.
So far I have managed to get friends obsessed with Bleach, Vampire Knight, Trinity Blood, D.Gray-Man, MeruPuri and a few others xD.
