How do you read your manga?
| I mostly buy them at the comics shop, but I also read them online. |

| I absolutely love to buy manga. Mostly what I spend my money on. So when I have the money I buy it. If I don't have money at the time I get the series that my library has. Because they are awesome and have a huge variety. And if it's not translated yet I read it online (mostly yaoi). I don't like to read it online, I feel guilty. I'm learning Japanese right now so eventually I'll hopefully just be buying all my manga. <3 MANGA (: |
| Usually I read it online. However, there are some longer manga (like Vagabond or GTO, in this moment) I download and then read. I prefer to buy them, but I can't do this very often because here in Uruguay it's very expensive... :/. |
 Excuse my bad english, people~ Thanks. |
| i read them online because i am oh so poor and i live in a country where anime related things are like hidden treasures. except for pokemon. but i don't read pokemon. |
 |
| I do all. I mostly buy and read online. I only read unlicensed manga online though. I sometimes go to the library to read manga but all they have there is Naruto, Bleach, Inuyasha, Fruits basket, and Dragon ball. I wish they had some more titles but oh well. |
| Less people read in Library. In my old school, they have few manga in a rack. Students could donate directly or indirectly( a.k.a. got caught bring manga). |
| There is like 2 weeks delay in my recent reading list I randomly bought discount/second hand manga with cute/mysterious cover.  Use Personal Blacklist extension in Chrome if you just want to Google for a series synopsis, without google slapping MAL score in it. 3/1 |
| I always read manga online, but if I love it so much (like seriously a lot) or I have one volume from the series, I'll buy the rest when I can from the bookstore. If I can't find it in a bookstore, then I hunt it down online. But, like I said, you'll mainly find me reading the scans. |
zetsuboSensei said: I download batches then read with CDisplay too. This :D I mostly go for those are that Completed already. |
 |
| I go to the library and when i'm not at the library i read manga on manga websites nya! |
 |
| I buy them unless they are not published in english or spanish or if they do not sell them in my country |
| I kind of do a combination of a lot of the options. I download scans for manga that is unlicensed or rare and OOP, I checkout manga from the library that is either incredibly long or not something I like enough to purchase, and I buy manga that I either really love or can't find anywhere else (or is from a company I totally adore like Vertical or Fantagraphics.. yes, I will buy anything Vertical releases at this point). |
| id rather go to the libary =p |
 |
| In order of preference: - Check out from library - If not there, buy the actual book - If not available anywhere (or if not translated yet), read online. So far I'm new to manga, but meh. I'll read online if there's no other way or if I can't afford to do anything else, but yeah - I can watch anime on my laptop since that comes on a screen anyways, but as for reading something, I prefer the actual book in my hands. |

| I do it all, lol. I usually buy it from bookstores used, so that saves tons of money. I go online for discounted things, like Rightstuf sales, and I read scans on some longer running series I collect because I'm impatient, but i'll still buy those series in physical form anyway. In the off chance that I've read everything I bought, I go to the library to see what they get. |
| I personally prefer reading my manga in person - I just love holding it, and I find I'm able to read it without getting distracted like I do online. But I read manga online as well. I usually read a series online, then end up buying it and re-read it in person. |
 |
| I've done all of the above at one point or another. These days I check a lot of manga out from the library though. |
| i read manga online and buy it from the bookstore. but the problem is that my country is really small and there aren't many manga to buy, i'm not even talking about choosing it :(. but when i have chance i buy manga, because it is many times better to read it on paper than on the internet :). |
| Online obviously...Why pay when you can read for free on the interwebz. I'd rather spend my money on something more productive....like buying a sandwich. :D |
| Typically I head to the library, but if they don't have a certain series I read scanlations. |
| Mainly I read them online but sometimes I go to library as well. |
Why does the world want to become one? Dreams and ideals are not supposed to be the same. |
| Read Scans online, Sad but i dont really have much of a choice, here in my city its hard to get anime from bookstores, good luck finding any manga in the libraries xD and if i order online i end up paying more for mail fees than the content of the package :V |
| I read online but when I have some extra cash, I'll buy some volumes at the bookstore. I try to buy manga most of the time but it can get pretty expensive. |
 |
| I really would like to purchase manga but unfortunately, it is not available in our country.. So, I just read them online |
 |
| My first choice is always my local 'Half Price Bookstore' #2: Regular bookstores #3: Buy them online #4: Read them online Buying online is quickly increasing though as I begin to read more and more manga in actual Japanese, to bad shipping sucks pretty bad though or I would probably order even more. |
| I always buy the manga--almost to an obsessive degree, actually. If I don't have the money but want to continue the series I'll resist the urge to read scans and buy the next volume once I can afford it. If a series is not available in English, then I will read scans, although even then I like to purchase the Japanese volumes if they are not too expensive. |
| I buy manga but lately, I don't have enough money for the manga's I want. If I don't have it, might as well read it online, especially those aren't even licensed in North America yet. |
| I read them online :P |
 |
| Online |
 |
| I download & then i read it V: |

| I've actually done all of the options on this poll QQ.. I prefer to buy my manga but if I want to preview the manga before buying it I read a chapter or two online before going to buy the manga. Other times if I order manga online it's usually entirely in japanese.. so.. but if it's something I really hate but my friends love then I'll read it online just so I can talk to them about it. Secretly I hope the manga I hate stops selling so I don't support it at all! but usually the manga I hate has a large following QQ;; |

| From Right to Left :D |
|
| unfortunately the libraries don't have to many mangas, so that's not really an option.. I do read them online sometimes although I don't really like to read on screen.. and I do buy some I really like =D |
| online! |
|
| Read scans on the Manga Watcher Android app. I suppose that can be considered online. |
| Unscripted Life without Fear |
| Either I buy them, or if I can't (if they haven't been released or licensed) then I'll read online. |
| Online since Im broke.. But, if I had the money I would buy all my manga! |
| I have to rely on scans because... 1) There aren't any good book stores around my area to buy them 2) The nearest and best place (Borders) is shutting down, making my limited supply go *Poof* 3) I'm in college without a job... So until I get a job I can't buy manga. T_T |
 |
| Read them online too, majority of book stores around here either have a very limited amount or none at all. Not to mention I'm a student who's just about broke... |

The nearest book store to me (That's now closing) is about an hour and 45 mins away... That and the broke student thing. T_T |
| |
| Scans that all... but i do buy some of the series where i either really like the art, or they aren;t being scanned such as: Gimmick!(not scanned), Ultimo (Not Scanned and i like the art), HOTD, and Gurren Lagann |
