| Unlike anime, there's a million different ways just about just how one can read manga. Do you read it online, on the computer or on the phone, or maybe you like to read it old school with the book in your hand. Do you listen to music, if so what kind of music? Do you just read the text bubbles and browse through the pictures or do you take your time to let the images sink in? I myself find it much easier to read manga with an actual copy in my hands, thing is it's expensive as fuck so I mostly read it on the net as the scrub I am. I really like to listen to music when reading, but only if it matches the mood of the manga. Hence I usually like to listen to different kinds of instrumental music or soundtracks from videogames or if there's an anime adoptation of the manga then I listen to that. What about you guys? |

| i really wish i can buy, read and keep mangas but the ones they sell in my country are ALL IN MANDARIN!!!!!!!!!! I usually read my manga online using an app, whenever i'm outside, in the bus or anything, or before i sleep. |

| I much prefer to read Manga when I have a physical copy of the book. But I do read it online sometimes as well. Because I can't really afford to buy every manga I want to read. |

I like to read online since I don't have enough money to purchase the manga I want, and there's not many locations nearby I can purchase it from- shipping costs just add too much to make buying it online worthwhile. But I definitely enjoy reading the physical manga too; often times the professional translation is better, especially if it's just recently been released. I enjoy having the whole volume in front of me and being able to easily flip through, bookmark, and revisit older parts without having to scroll for 20 minutes just to find a certain panel! Sometimes, thought, the physical manga can be stressful to have; being able to read it in a physical copy is a special occasion for me, so I really work hard to keep my manga in tip top shape (not bending pages, leaving marks, creases, etc.) So I only like reading in my room and rarely take it with me when I'm travelling. |
i like cute things! |
| Since none is available in my region I read them online, but I intend to buy the ones I like the most |

This is absolutely true for me aswell. I tend to be almost overly careful of my manga and also with stuff like videogames too. |

gemver said: I read the manga online, and I buy each volume after I finish reading it online. I do this with most manga, unless I'm not that big of a fan of the series or if the series is still new and hasn't been printed. Do you buy it just for your collections sake or do you like to re-read your manga a bunch of times? Also do you actually prefer to read it online or do you do it this way just so you don't buy any useless manga? |
|
| I read online currently, from my phone while laying in bed. Basically my 'R &R' time. Manga Browser for Android I'd probably collect physical whenever I move. My current situation, I don't really need more paper in my home for spiders and such to manifest. So I'll stick to digital for now. Aside from not really having necessary storage for all the manga books I'd end up collecting overtime. |

| i do everything but i definitely prefer reading book over tablet over computer |
| Online or downloaded onto my phone so I can be ghetto and weabb while on trains, buses, class, etc. |
 |
| I have no idea how anyone can read while listening to music, that shit is so distracting to me. |
 |
| I only read physical copies unless it's something sexual. Usually read it on the sofa or while lying down on bed. |
| Download it and read it on my laptop. |
 |
| If it weren't for the price I would buy soo much manga. but my cheap ass prefers to just read scanlations on my tablet, generally in a very hurried manner so as to read as much as possible as quickly as possible, which is honestly why I prefer manga to anime. I can go through several chapters very, very quickly and get through a story much easier than actually sitting down and watching something. If I really, really like a manga I'll buy it because I love having a physical copy but... monies... |
| I usually read manga online but I'll probably start buying real copies soon. It's kinda hard to get manga in the area that I live in at the moment. |
 |
| I'm always trying to read with my eyes but well it depends |
| I prefer an actual copy. I've been reading books all my life so with manga it's no different. When I read, I can't have music on - sound distracts me. Since most of the manga I read is free because I borrow books from many libraries, I really don't have time to read scans at all. |
| I prefer a physical copy. I read the first chapter or volume online to see if I like it. If I do I usually buy a few volumes and read them over a weekend or so. Most of the time with a cup o' coffee! :3 |
 |
| I think everyone who reads manga and has owned a few volumes before would almost always prefer the psychical copy. But like most people, I am not rich...so yes I also read 90% of it online. I'm a SUPER slow reader, I love looking at the art, and I'll play out the scenes in my head. If something is cool or funny I will keep reading it, I might screenshot a few things here and there. Overall I take my sweet sweet time. :) But I'm not much of a music person. I'd find it annoying to keep changing the music to match the mood. |
| Even tho I prefer reading it on a book, I just download it and read it on my phone so if I need to go out I can still read it. |
 |
| I try to buy manga but if I know I cant I just read online. Kissmanga on comp Zingbox on phone. |
| I have a horrible habit of "blind buying" manga. Well not completely blind, I usually read a synopsis first. Sometimes I read the first few chapters online, and if I like it I will buy the physical copies. I will never read an entire series online though. Just isn't my thing! |
| I personally like to buy them, and it takes me over an hour to finish reading the volume the first time around so I can absorb everything (mostly the hot faces my husbands make) But if I'm broke or getting into a new series I'm not sure I'll like...I read them online but my computer is slow as molasses so it normally takes an hour to read one chapter online. Ah such as life, I am a broke scrub too my friend. |
 |
| I preferred to read them in their physical appearance, but my country is a bit slow in publishing so I often read it first through an app on my phone. I like to collect things, and reading already become something like a second nature to me, so when the manga I read is published I'll buy it and reread it. |
 |
| I read my manga on my pc/laptop cause they don't sell much here. I reaqd my Light novels on my phone. |
| I read them on my computer all the time, partly because I never use my phone in the first place anyway and because the only mangas being sold in stores here are the mainstream ones like Naruto. |
 |
| I have to admit that I read most of them online, they are way too expensive for my financial situation and they take too much room if I keep them all forever. My flat is small and I don't have enough free space for things I probably won't read a second time so I only buy special series with a high reread possibility. A book is much nicer but too inconvenient, as sad as it is. Background music is good for nearly everything but it's distracting when I read, at least if it's a Manga I really want to enjoy, so I only listen to ambient or something similar calm if it's a casual read. I usually take my time while reading online but I can't bring myself to stop and look at something longer than a few seconds, no matter how good the art is it's just not as striking as it would be in book form. A lot of the pleasure gets lost when reading online. I read the actual book quickly to see how the story progresses and then I read it again to appreciate the art, which for me is a big factor in terms of enjoyment – Manga is art and it's nice to experience it as such. |
| I mostly read through my phone in a manga reading app. I would like to read actual books since my school doesn't allow us to bring phones like dafuq but our local bookstore doesn't sell manga so I'm very disappointed. |
| I usually rent them or just read it online if it's not available online. When I start reading a manga series online, I don't go back and check if the books are available to order. It just ruins the flow. |
  "With all due respect, if you keep running your mouth, I'm gonna lose it." |
| Usually read them online but ever since my internet went off for like a week, i started torrenting manga, it's so much more convenient, i read it through an app called COMICS++ available in the microsoft store. Of course, if Manga were available in my country i'd buy it like i buy all the anime and comic books that i've read/watched. |
 |
| Online (don't own 'em) in bed (most comfy) during night (best atmosphere) on tablet (best device to read on, is the right shape, and it you feel more connected with the stuff you read/watch when you hold it, same how you feel more connected and happy when you actually draw something with a physical pencil instead of a digital) |
 |
| If I'm able to get it in book form, then I prefer it that way. But since that's incredibly hard for some series, I mostly read online via computer. |
| Net Content 19.6 FL. OZ. (580 ml) |
| Only began making a collection but I prefer the books. Feels much better for me personally and looks nice on display, makes me feel like I'm collecting again. |
 |
| I prefer having translated book in my hand, but it's hard to afford all series I'm interested in ;_; So from time to time I also read scans online, on my laptop. Same thing with manga that are still coming out, I wouldn't be able to wait 3+ months to buy one volume, when I can read one chapter online per month or week Lately I've been reading less and less online though, dunno why. |
  |
| I definitely buy manga when I can afford it. Right now I'm reading certain series that are available on the phone app "Manga Rock" but I also read online as not everything is available on the app. I own most of Yotsubato! in physical form and I have several other first and second volumes of manga that I read. I think my ex left me with a lot of his manga. I'm not sure yet, waiting to get my stuff out of storage... I think he left me Death Note and King of Hell among other books. |
| i read it through my monitor.. i take my time looking at the images... and text bubbles. i somtimes listen to music while reading manga.. but it has to match the manga's feel id love to read it ''old school'' in my hands... but damm the currency difference.. and shiping days.. would take forever.. + am not in the postion to rly buy a manga yet... But some DAY..I WILLL.... BUY.. SOME OF THE MANGAS.. I READ.. AND FUTURE ONES.. [atleast i hope so... how can i repay the light... in my darkness.. which was manga&anime.. from my crual borring life] |

| I'd love to buy manga, but each issue is just so damn expensive! Especially when you usually blow through it in less than 5 minutes. So unless I'm working on collecting a series for the sake of fandom, I just read online. |
 |
| I usually read manga online because it's too expensive to buy. If I do like the series then I'll buy it, but if im just randomly browsing a manga I'll just read it online for free. |
