| Well, if you really like a certain anime because of a character or it's story and it has a manga that extends past where the anime ended you can read the manga version for a continuation where you can continue to enjoy the characters and the story. |

| More detail, art, story etc. I personally like the different drawing styles from each manga. I also grew up reading comic books so it wasn't hard to like manga later on. |
Bloodania said: I have one Manga in my home and I have never read it. The reason for that is: No colors. Too many pages (about 200). Confusing to read. I did try to read it, but I lost the willing power after three pages and no, its not because the Manga doesn't interest me, it's Manga in general. It's been a year since I bought it and everyday it have been on my table without getting opened, because I don't bother. But I like American comic books though or not even, more close to comic-strips. 200 pages is small for a book. Colors aren't a problem to begin with. It's not like it's changing anything. Black and white art has always been able to go toes to toes with colored ones when well done. Granted, in manga it's far from being well done most of time, but ti's still not a problem imo. I dislike america comics book BTW. I like European comics and manga/Manhwa, so that's pretty much the only thing I don't like... |

| Well, I have an addictive personality so when I find a show I love and it ends its season, I dont just want to know more about the story, I NEED to. So I read manga to do just that. The only problem now though is Im finding a lot of great stories adapted from light novels and I dont even know where I can get my hands on those... victor2195 said: manga has more details, more freedom, better quality How ironic you say that with Tite Kubo's work as your avatar XD. |

| I am greedy, so I'll pursue my interests without any regard to the medium they happen to be presented in. I have no interest in manga itself, just what I can get from manga. |

But I like American comic books though or not even, more close to comic-strips. Sorry if this seams long or if it doesnt answer your question but try n read through it. Bro! I was EXACTLY like you So I know how u feel. Manga is amazin n im sure u'll like it if you found suttin interesting. suttin thatll convert you. Reason I began was becoz of an anime called Air Gear. it was mediocre but soundtrack was amazin. n the story is def interesting. it ended horribly but I wanted to see what happenz next So I read the manga n was blown away on how good it was. soo different BUT that wasnt what REALLY got me into it. Now im into romance like BIG TIME! animes are very similar. same characters, same story, same feel. Not all but most were like that for me. So I gave manga a shot n I found a shit load of storys. one that got me interested was called GE: Good Ending. it wasnt the best manga in the world but I found it amazing n but it wasnt the same shit I always got with anime. I got hooked after a few chapters coz thats my thing! I love romance n this had a good protagonist who wasnt wimpy, the MC's romatic interest wasnt ur usual crap, she was interesting n how they met wasnt generic. it had a real good story and character development. after finishing that I went on to find more coz theirs such a huge selection n amazing story lines. I tried my best to answer that and I dunno if any thing I just mentioned helps or not but what I think is the problem is, you havnt found the right manga. you cant just pick 1 up n start to like it coz its probs just not 4 u. When I 1st started I was interested but bored coz anime got colour n sound, especially coz of sound. So I played sum music while reading. It was the soundtrack of Air Gear. that helped quite a bit n then eventually I could read it normally with the same enjoyment as if I was watchin anime. Readin it while havin my own versions of the characters voices in my head sound llike give me the impression im watchin suttin. sounds weird ano but yh lol. Im going to recommend you some that I find are absolute best but once again. theirs a chance that they may not appeal to you. Its all down to your preferences na mean. What kind of animes do you like? Liar Game Gantz (Tho there is an anime, this is so much better) Holyland Sun-Ken Rock Psyren You said you also hate it coz theirs no colour. that was a problem for me too but I got used to it. here are some webtoons! there basically korean mangas/manhwas but IN FULL COLOUR! Tower Of God Superior Day DICE: The Cube that Changes Everything Fisheye Placebo Flow Ultimate Legend: Kang Hae Hyo |

| On the contrary, I think manga in black and white is gorgeous. Sure lots of people like coloured comics but there's something that really makes manga art stand out in black and white. Personal opinion, but it gives of a more dynamic feel that isn't as static as some of the typical coloured comics out there. But I do think manga does take more time and effort to get into than anime. It's easy to pick up any anime and just keep on watching it effortlessly until you reach the interesting bits. The thing I noticed about manga is it takes some time to get to the parts when shit gets real, once you do, it can be the most intense godawesome mind blowing page turning reading experiences ever. You might need a little bit of patience to get rewarded, so I guess if you like comic strips which gets straight to the point, it's the total opposite of what I just said here. Anyway, it all comes down to preference in the end. While manga is usually better than the anime adaptation, no harm watching the anime over reading the manga. It's all up to you. |
Bloodania said: How long does it take for each volume coming out for an average ongoing Manga? Manga don't come out by volume, they come out by chapters. Some manga are weekly, some are monthly. It's usually slower than anime, but your average manga keep going far longer than your average anime. Plus, you have far more manga ongoing than the poor twenty-something anime that are currently airing. |
Tryss said: Manga don't come out by volume, they come out by chapters. Manga most certainly do come out in volumes. I much prefer to have a volume in my hand rather than reading individual chapters online. So I wait for the volumes. Bloodania said: How long does it take for each volume coming out for an average ongoing Manga? As for the speed at which they are published, it depends. Sometimes it takes a couple of months for an English printed volume to come out. If you don't want to wait then just pick a manga series that has already finished, rather than one that is ongoing. |

mecharobot said: Tryss said: Plus, you have far more manga ongoing than the poor twenty-something anime that are currently airing. You could at least pretend to get your facts right. Ok, I count around 70 ongoing anime according to animecalendar.net ... same order of magnitude. I don't know the exact number of serialized manga, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was at least 20 times this number |
| the manga's shading is what often make epic panels. it definetely compensates the lacking ost in the background and manga overall looks more like a piece of art than anime. |
| I can't believe anybody would fall for such an obvious troll. |
| I like it because otherwise you miss out on lots of series. I started only two years ago reading manga regularly (still read before that but very sparingly) and I found some amazing series — most of the ones I rate 10 have no anime adaptation, or that anime adaptation deviates strongly from it. Plus in anime where I'm waiting for season 2 or there is no next season yet still manga material, I can get caught up because it's kinda hard (for me at least) to finish a series and two years later when it gets a season 2 know exactly where it left off. |

| Do you not find artistically drawn pages to stimulate the mind. How could you man? |
 |
| I get that way with books sadly... I buy all sorts of novels and I'll read the first chapter, actually if I get really into it I might power through a bunch of chapters but once I put it down it can be months before I ever pick it up again... Though that's more of a laziness than an actual disinterest. As for Manga I actually like it more than Western Comics, which I also read, normally they have a little more depth to them and a progressing story line (assuming it's not something like a harem where it's just endless repetition 99% of the time.) Like most things I think if you were to just power through the initial awkwardness that's bothering you, you'll get gripped enough by the story and accustom to reading it that you probably won't put it down till it's done. |

| Because they are much more complete than their anime adaptations. |
