I actually like the manga is in the grip of my hand but now that has been banned by my mother so I prefer to read them online

I prefer reading the actual book. I read them primarily on trips, so I take them with me. I don't like to read it online, even if it was downloaded (doesn't require internet).

I'm also one of those who prefer to hold a Manga in the hand.

This. Too bad that a lot of good manga titles are not translated in English but that can't be helped.

Nothing against online manga, but I much prefer being able to physically hold a book in my hands and turn pages.^^

Read online manga, then after I finish a series I buy it from stores or online.

The actual manga for sure, but I am guilty of sometimes taking peeks of manga that hasn't been released in english.

I prefer holding the manga in my hand and reading it.But I mostly read online since it's hard to find them in stores. -.-

I prefer reading manga when it's in my hands,but I usually read it online because the volumes aren't out yet.

I always preferred physical books over digital as they just feel better to me, however, since I'm not rich and can't afford to buy every book or manga I would like to read I will only buy books I am really into in print and go with digital for the others.

I prefer a real manga as opposed to a digital one. However, I am not that lucky to have many series licensed in my language.

Ofc i prefer a real manga.
But there is no manga stores here in my city.

I really hate reading them online or with CDisplay.
I prefer and enjoy my manga mostly as actual physical object...

I guess my priorities are always like this:

If available / possible, I prefer them phisically. It's a whole different experience. Actually, the whole story seems to merge in a better way, as do the art style. It happened to me once with D.Gray-Man. When I read them chapters online, I just could'nt stand the story, but then I decided to give the paper volumes a chance, and now I really like it.

If there's no way to find the physical version, I serch for whole volumes in scanlators' sites and download them, so I can read the story with my manga reading program.

The last solution is, and will always be... *sigh*... online manga readers.

Physical copy, I buy whenever I have the money, but since I'm a broke teen with no job, it's a rare event.

Kindle: the best of both worlds.
Free manga, real book feel.

The real deal :D i LOVE books in general anyway. <3

I prefer it to have it in my hands. But since most mangas that I read, aren't for sale, I read them online. And because I don't have that much money, I only buy those I really like and want. So mostly online.

Yeah, real manga is the best. Especially one's with really detailed covers. Blade of the Immortal and One Piece are very rewarding in that respect.

I'm not happy that in order to keep up with current weekly manga I have to read scanilations but I do intend to buy and own physical copies of all the series I love.

Nothing beats the feel of a manga in your hand or the nice sight of a series spread across a shelf. I wish I didn't love One Piece and Naruto so much...one day they will have all my money.

Reading from the actual book is better, but not all the manga that I want to read are translated and published where I live so I read them online (also if I have the money and a manga that I like is published I will buy it :D)
