Usually start with online (or downloaded if complete) manga. Then, if I find it worth of my time and my money I buy it (if licensed in my country) so i can reread it over and over. Also art actually looks better printed than in scan.

I read online. It's kinda hard to buy manga when the animanga thing is not popular enough in your country. and when you're poor.

Both but hard copies are hard to find here in my country. So I read most of the manga online

I read online. If I really like it, I buy it.

I'd also like to get my hands on manga that has a short amount of volumes since my book shelf can only take so much.

I like to read on my Kindle DX =) its really awsome. but its the best to read real copies. I usualy only look at the art in the first pages online..

I prefer the actual copy but it is too expensive to do so. Reading manga online is cheaper and more convenient since it's free and you can get it instantly.

I rarely read manga online, i do it only when i am interested in a series which has not been published in my country or to take a look at chapters i have been waiting for too much. Furthermore, i don't manage to get into the story for unknown reasons. Anyway my economical situation doesn't allow me to buy them as often as i used to till a couple of years ago.

Physical is better, but at the rate most of us read them, it's hard for the wallet to keep up. I have absolutely no problem with digital. If I really enjoy the series when I'm finished, I'll buy physical copies when it's possible for me. To support the author, and so I can read it again when bored.

Only read physical. Just too boring to read on a screen.

I read it only online because manga shelves in my country consist of Naruto, Momo the Peach Girl, Negima and Hellsing >.>
Also, I spend way too much money on books, so I couldn't afford buying manga :/

I always read online first before buying the manga. I do prefer actual manga instead of online reading, but I don't want to risk spending money on something I don't like. Also, the selection of manga I find in my country is really bad, and I have a habit of reading in English (which isn't my native language), so it's impossible to find some of the manga I like, tranlated in English.

I read Online. I just buy few volumes of my favorite manga :)

I download manga on tablet and read it. Otherwise I would pick actually manga cause reading manga on pc behind a desk is not comfortable.

of course physical. but the harsh reality is, having a physical copy is not that easy, financially. so i make do being a leecher...

An actual one is always better, although the publishing here is slow as heck.
Reading on my computer for too long strains my eyes

I read the actual ones, because aside from the paper feel I got on my hand, sometimes they also have extras that the scanlating groups can't give us. But for some specific genre *coughboyslovecough*, I have to read it online, since it's a bit impossible to get my own copy from the local bookstore here.

Not impossible for me but I'd just rather read them online instead of having people IRL know I read them....

Online because getting a hold of printed manga is a pain in the ass and expensive.

Online.

online because i find it weird to own hard copy of anything.
