Ah but it's never too late to start.
Manga might confuse you the first couple of times you read it (it's different in a few ways, like for example you read from the back page to the front page instead of the other way around) but once you get used to it it's awesome.
Hehehe this is the most exciting time of the year for me because my city's anime/manga convention is in a few weeks. c: I can't wait. xD I've no idea whether or not I'll be cosplaying yet though, I suck at making costumes so maybe not.
