Same here actually. I never read any manga, except for Claymore, then later Berserk. It it me hard like a canon and couldnt get my hands off it after started reading/watching it.
SO many awesome characters, themes to explore, it's amazing. There are so many subtle details to the story... I read it the first time like almost a month ago. I'm on the 6th time already and I still find tiny little details that I didn't notice first, like this tiny tear of joy Guts sheds when he's saved by Puck ->
