How do you read your manga?
| I'm just curious as to which method people use as a means to get their daily dosage of manga ^.^ |

| Download and read in CDisplay, as reading compressed jpegs is not so good. |
 |
| I wonder how long "purchase from a bookstore" will be in the lead... That's what I chose, but I occasionally buy online (usually new rather than used) or borrow from the library as well. I've stopped reading scans almost entirely, for ethical reasons as well as not having the patience to deal with crappy-English translations. |
lys said: I wonder how long "purchase from a bookstore" will be in the lead... That's what I chose I thought that most people mainly read them online. But I don't really know ^_^ The poll results will tell! |
| I'll purchase when I can for ethical reasons, but I tend to do much more of my reading online because the stories I tend to like either aren't published or, if they are, are nearly impossible to track down without searching through every specialty store in a 100-mile radius. |
| I read them online. |
 |
| Voted 'other' because I download scanlations and read them offline. This way I don't have to wait for each page to load, and it makes shit easier to access. |
| i read online mainly... once i get a bit more cash flow i will definitely order them though cause the quality is so much better (and ethical reasons mentioned above) |

| I downlod it & read it ^^ |
| Read them on manga websites |
| Well, I'm pretty much a scan reader coz we don't have many avenues of manga purchases... |
 |
| There is only one book store where I live that sells manga and they only bring lame books >.> so I read them online |
| Online because the ones ordered from the internety aren't that cheap :I And the libraries in my city don't have manga,saddly. |
| I download manga, buy it from stores, and read online scans. |
| With my eyes. |
| I read manga online, mainly because there's no local manga or book store anywhere near me. |
| "If you feed me, Seymour, I can grow up big and strong!" |
| I do all. Sometimes I check the manga out from my library, sometimes I read them online, and other times I buy the actual book. |
 |
| I buy all the manga I read from bookstores, comic shops, websites and the odd convention. |

| I used to buy it. Now I just read scans online. |
 |
| I read the scans online. :3 |
| I read scans, as it's the fastest way to read it in English. |
| Mostly reading online and occasionally buying from the bookstore |
| mostly online, there's very few that I'd actually want to own, though I'd get them from the library if my library carried them. |
| I buy manga and read online (ones that I don't own) |
| I get mine mostly from bookstores but if they dont have it I order it |

| I read scans online, because I am teh poorz. >: |
| Pretty much the first three options, though I voted for buying. While I've cut back my manga spending considerably this year, I purchase the titles that I instinctively know I will enjoy and re-read. Currently I'm purchasing Gintama and Hayate the Combat Butler, with more titles on the back-burner or in the pipeline soon enough. Only recently have I started really using the library to read manga. My city's library system has an impressive selection of titles, so why not take advantage of it? Not only do I save myself some money, but I get to read it in physical form, which I vastly prefer over reading scanlations. Among other things, I've been able to (almost) catch up with the North American release of Nana, as well as read the portion of Naruto that I watched yet never ended up reading due to Viz skipping it in the magazine in order to kick-start the Shippuden storyline. It's also convinced me that I want DearS in my collection, and will be pursuing it in the future. While I do read some scanlations, I am very specific with what I read. Barring: - any of my ongoing titles magically getting licensed for North American release (the titles I'm reading have an extremely low possibility of being licensed with the exception of Kimi no Iru Machi), - the North American release has been canceled/put on indefinite hiatus (Unbalance X Unbalance), or - the North American released has been altered significantly (Bobobo-Bo Bo-Bobo, Tenjho Tenge), I refuse to read scans of licensed titles. Most titles I read are based off of anime I've seen, or are created by certain creators of certain shows. Currently I'm following Kimi no Iru Machi, Kiss X Sis, Asatte no Hoko, BokuImo, A Spirit of the Sun, Honey X Honey Drops and Okusama wa Joshi Kosei, but with the exception of the 1st title they're either coming out at a fairly slow pace or are dropped/stalled. |
 |
| I basically read them online. I'll buy a manga on the offchance I go into chapters or the local D&D/Magic/Warhammer/Manga hub and there's a manga that intrigues me. |
 |
| read scans.. didnt cost money.. XD |

| Most of the time, I read the scanlations online (especially if the manga's not being sold in America). But if I happen to be able to find the book in a store, I'll read it that way. |
| I buy and read online. It's hard to buy every single manga you want to read. :/ |
| Online. I don't usually buy them from bookstores if I can help it, 'cos some of the translators don't get the terms right. |
| Purchase and read online. |
  |
| I read them online. |
| I download and read in IfranView or read online. |
 |
| I prefer reading from books, but I mostly read online anyway. |
| Online scans... |
 |
| I download all my manga and read it using MMCE 2.4 - also known as MangaMeeya. I prefer to read it on the laptop in bed 'cause sitting at a desk for long periods of time can be tiring. |
 |
| I buy mine online or at borders, I can take the books anywhere. Plus I just don't need a reason to be at the PC more than normal. |
| Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed - Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, 'It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver.' |
