reading online makes me very antsy so i usually just don't do it, however it can be hard to find the manga you want at the local book store so the best way to get it is online shopping, but then, it's more expensive that way and takes awhile for you to actually get it *but then doesn't take you long to read :P* ... there's my excuse for not reading much manga :D but to some it up, yeah, if i read manga i like to actually have it.

*a random complaint of mine : WHY on earth does spell check correct "ussualy" into "sexually" but NOT "usually" >.>

Is hard to find different mangas in the places I live so I just go for online manga most of the time. I have some mangas at home but it would be like 15 as much, is expensive and hard to find the manga you want.

Reading online. With my tablet it feels as if I'm holding a huge library of manga right in the palms of my hand. It also comes in handy when I'm on a long vacation so I don't have to take a stack of volumes with me. But I'm planning on buying manga I really liked though.

I would prefer to read the hard copy of manga, yet it is easier and takes up less room when I read it online. Why buy what u can get for free?

I personally prefer to be able to actually read the paper book versions but when I don't want to wait to read something or it is not available in book form then I read it online if I can find it.

Online.
Simply because you basically have any manga you want, don't have to carry volumes of manga around, bigger on screen, screen is bright so I can read it easily day or night without having to worry about lighting, I can just go to the next page with a click of a button instead of having to keep on flipping and holding onto the book to make sure the book doesn't close on me, and I save myself some cash.

It's nice to have the real thing as well but to be honest I can probably only see myself buying it just to have it. Since after all it takes awhile for the physical copy to come out rather then just going online and reading it right as the next chapter has been translated.

Finding the actual manga i want to read in book stores is usually difficult so i look up the online versions or i simply find some manga in the library that spark my interest and are taken out to read later on, so i side a little more on online since it's availability compared to the actual manga which may be hard to come across.

i prefer to softcopy, but sometimes i likes to rent manga

Unless it's soemthing I really want (eva manga) Almost always online. If manga was over here what it was in japan ($1/$2 a volume) i'd buy it no problem, but $13-20 dollars for 300 ish pages is way too much. That, and the industry is contracting...

Well and i'm a cheap bastard. Though I do spend around $50 dollars a week for two six packs worth of craft beer.

if i were rich, i'd buy and collect lots of the actual book ,
but since i'm still young and poor and i don't have my own money..
i depend on mangareader and mangafox TuT

I prefer having the actual manga than reading it online but unfortunately its really expensive unless you get a good deal somewhere, so I tend to rarely buy the manga and just read it online.

I read the manuscript before the editor even.

Both :O

Online. I don't like spending my money.

An actual physical copy is my preference, but since my favorite manga is (choke!) $12 a pop I'm won't be buying any other series for a long while.

If I like it enough and am going to read it again, I either buy it if it's released or I download it with the DomDom Soft Manga Downloader, save it on my computer and just read it with the manga reader program Manga Meeya. If I am not that into or can't find it elsewhere, I will just read it online...

physical is better

Reading it physically is better.

I prefer actual manga but since you have to buy, i tend to read online.

I prefer to have a holding the book in my hands, but sometimes I just don't want to wait to know what happens.
