4. Most large booksellers have a section dedicated to manga, but to
really get a range of titles, try a comic book store. Either way, manga
books usually have covers in color and maybe the first few pages as
well, but the rest of the story is usually in black and white.

5. If you are comfortable with surfing the Internet, read manga online first.
Do a search for one of the many directories of online manga sites and scan
those sites for titles that are interesting. Many of the sites will actually
show the manga book­drawing and text­from its Web site.
Remember that when you read manga, you read the frames from the
right to left. Often, when you open up a manga­­just like you would a
regular book­­there will often be a page that will tell you how to read it.

6. Give a few manga titles a try to get a feel for what you like. Once you find a
title you like, you can look for more of the same or similar titles with that
publisher. Look for the English publisher's Web site in the front of the book,
then check out that site­­it will probably contain descriptions of all their
books and maybe even a little sample online.
