One thing you might want to consider before digging into manga is that if you're used to western graphic novels, they can be difficult to read. My eleven-year-old reads both manga and comics with equal facility, but at 49, with over 40 years experience reading almost exclusively western comics, I have some difficulty with manga.
The problem I face has nothing to do with the stories or quality of art. It's just that I've spent four decades training my eyes to follow the pictures in the wrong direction. My daughter can flip back and forth with ease. So can my stepson, who's been reading both since he was young (he's now 22), but my habits are harder to break.
So if you do want to transition from western-style comics to manga I would recommend getting into the manga as early as possible so you don't build up the wrong habits.
