Still not helping, we don't know what the abbreviation stands for so don't know what TV show and manga 7ds is referring to.
If it is an anime or manga what do you mean you want to run a campaign "in it"? Do you mean you want to use it as a setting? If that is the case the advice given above about how to start a campaign is good but personally I'd say if you're a first time DM I'd stick to using a prewritten campaign in a D&D world rather than try to adapt a manga for use. The main difficulty will be that you don't have prewritten stat blocks for characters and monsters from the manga so you'd be opening the doors for a whole lot of homebrewing and combat balancing you'd need to do while also learning all the other skills a DM needs. By comparison running something like Lost Mines of Phandelver like Chris suggested will tell you exactly how many of each enemy to put in a fight and exactly how to use them. It'll be a much smoother learning curve and teach you the basics of DMing before you try something more ambitious

I’m new to dnd and would like some advice on how to start this whole thing
They hide it quite well! But I'd read this and then choose a starter adventure. We enjoyed Lost Mine of Phandelver.
Good luck and happy gaming!
RPGs from '83 - 03. A fair bit of LRP. A big gap. And now DMing again. Froth.
What do you mean by "start my first campaign in 7ds"? What's 7ds?
I'm assuming it's "seven days."
Find your own truth, choose your enemies carefully, and never deal with a dragon.
"Canon" is what's factual to D&D lore. "Cannon" is what you're going to be shot with if you keep getting the word wrong.
Start of campaign ideas:
"Sooner or later, your Players are going to smash your railroad into a sandbox."
-Vedexent
"real life is a super high CR."
-OboeLauren
"............anybody got any potatoes? We could drop a potato in each hole an' see which ones get viciously mauled by horrible monsters?"
-Ilyara Thundertale
