So glad I'm finally getting around to reading the manga source material of my all-time favorite anime series. Volume 1 gives us the fun intro to the main 4 characters as well as plot-relevant side characters we will come to know and love in the future. I particularly enjoy the strong world-building, the characterization for Gon, and the little glimpses into his life on Whale Island with an early setup for the Kite storyline that weren't included in the first episode of the show. He is definitely the perfect protagonist for this story and I can't wait to relive the adventures and harrowing challenges to come for him and his best friends.
