| Genre. what im interested in first. See the popularity if its good or not. usually if its popular its good because we fellow manga readers have similar minds. Then read reviews to confirm. Read the first 5 chapters. Not good then drop. |

| Simple. If its got a hot chick on the cover, and its a yuri. :) |
| 1.) Genre 2.) Art Style 3.) Plot/Synopsis 4.) Characters |
| I go to the page with manga and choose a random title. I read one chapter. When I like it thrn I read more.Occasionally I read the reviews about manga. |
| "Embrace each morning as your last, so you may die in the evening free of regret." |
| I don't choose the manga, the manga chooses me.... Or is recommended to me by a friend who knows a lot more about manga than I do :P |
| 'There are no facts, only interpretations' - Nietzsche |
| Art and plot. It's as simple as that |
| To be honest I really only read mangas with good artwork. And when I'm reading shoujo, I go for a manga with a single love-line .And with single love-line, I mean a story with one guy and one girl. I simply hate love triangles. Even though I'm a girl, I prefer reading Shonen, so I don't read that much shoujo. |
 |
| Does it seem to have good yuri? I'll read it. |
| Artwork, but I usually read the first volume to see if I want to continue. Good artwork dosn't always mean good story. |
| Nowadays mostly because I know the anime and really wanna know how it continues. |

messedup said: Nowadays mostly because I know the anime and really wanna know how it continues. Yeah that tends to happen with a lot of animes (Twelve kingdoms, Air Gear, Berserk, Gantz, Hajime No Ippo, ect) |
| By the synopsis, cover, and whether or not they have shiny eyes :P |
| Genre art description,rating,reviews author magazine |

SenseiChris said: This is pretty much how I do it.First I look for genre then art style, if I can live with it I check out the themes, synopsis, reviews and last I see how many chapters are out. If its updated regularly and has 10+ chapters I usually go for it. |
| It really depends. 1. on art 2. if the story is worth paying attention to 3. author/artist Sometimes.... even when they fill my criteria I don't read them. -___- |
 |
| Good scanlation= I'll read it. Shitty ones goes into dumps. |
| Well first I search it by Genre, then I'll just try it right away. No need reading the plot cause sometimes it just messes up my urge to read it. Then I start reading right away, I'll prolly judge it after a few chapters weather it's readable or not. :) |
 |
| Simple i look at these thing before reading a new series: - Genres - if it's something i like i usually look into it major factor is deciding to read it or not. - Art - always important since it can be the deciding factor, but some art suits different genres. - Authors - always nice to know who did art and/or story, and to see their reputation. - Ranking - High ranking series are not always the best, many great ones are in the thousands, sadly. - Reviews and Synopsis - Just to see if it's worth reading or not, nice to know what the story is beforehand. That's the what manga is my eyes go through before being read... |

| ^ A very smart and understandable way to express how you choose your manga. |
| "Neither devil nor death. I am just murder." |
| 1. Art 2. Rating 3. Genres |
| I'll skim over the cover art, if it holds my attention I'll read the summary. If the summary interests me, I'll read the first few chapters and decide whether to continue from there. |
| Genres Art Plot i usually read around 5-10 chapters, if no good then i stop |

| Haha... It takes me hours to decide what to read... 1. Search for something of the genre I'm into on that particular day 2. Read the summary of those that fit 3. Chose 2-3 series that look interesting and check if they're complete/regularly updated 3.1 Open a random chapter and check the art 3.2. Check the reviews on MAL and MU 4. On a whim, chose a manga that have nothing to do with what I was searching for, and read it. This happens on the average of once a week. XD |
| Basically if it's really long, highly rated, and it's a shounen I've downloaded the whole thing already. |
 |
| Mostly art. If art sucks, I wouldn't read it regardless of the rating and how good the story is. |
 |
| Well, to be honest, I first judge manga by its cover. If I like the art style, I'll read the synopsis and take note of the genres. If it sounds interesting I'll give it a try. Basically, if the first chapter manages to wow me or even simply seems like it has potential, I'll continue reading. ((I also sometimes take the length of the manga into consideration- I'm more likely to start reading a manga under, say, 50 chapters than one over.)) |
| 1. Art (Not that I base all manga that i read on its art style. Still, there are some manga where I can't take its art style. I'm somewhat picky when it comes to this stuff.) 2. Plot or Description (Well, I think this is the most important part. That is, to find the manga interesting or not.) 3. Ratings and Reviews (I always read reviews from other users that's why I'm on this site. It's very useful so as to prevent frustrations and regrets on how much time you waste on a shitty story.) 4. Genre (well, there are times when I don't feel reading a certain genre that I really like. It depends on my mood, really.) . i don't really care that much on the title. Just these 4 is enough. also, if a manga is ongoing, i will leave it until it reach 30 something and above chapters. that's why i prefer reading a complete series or one-shots. |
 |
| Priority: 1. Art 2. Story(based on synopsis) 3. Mangaka(if there are previous works that i've read) 4. Status(either completed or ongoing) 5. Length(I try to avoid anything that goes beyond 200+ chapters) 6. Scanlators(if there are active scanlators working on the manga) |

| Art->Characters->Story |
| As a child, I was told that society is a melting pot of talents; knowledge and experience combined to form important alloys that will contribute to mankind. When I got to highschool, however, I thought that it's more like a river in which the water represents our peers while we ourselves are the stones in the river. Constant erosion by mindless majority sheeping has made us lose our unique edge. After I hit the age of 18, I realized that I've been wrong all along. Society is no melting pot. Society is no river. Society is a person, a very skilled rapist, and he has fucked us all. |
| u usually choose my manga by the cover or when i see an interesting name i search for it and see images about it if i like it i read it but i actually really enjoy shoujo manga |
| I personally look at the genre first then reviews and art |
| Sometimes I just browse random mangas on MAL, and sometimes on YenPress's website. |
| From the genre, then the synopsis or descriptions. I always look away from anything that looks like yaoi/shounen ai |
| ....of all the arts, for us the cinema is the most important. -- Vladimir Lenin |
| never ever judge an manga by its looks, thats why i waited to long to watch OP :p |
 |
| The main character and genres. |
| Rating and popularity. Ask other people |
| 1.Random 2. Scanlations quality 3.Art. 4.Rating 5.Story |
| I buy all my manga so I either watch the anime and want to buy the original japanese books to read and reward the mangaka. Or I buy the magazines for one manga and then read other manga and see if they are good. Or mangaka I like I will follow them through their careers. Or word of mouth or website like MAL recommendations. |
| I choose my manga first on art/cover art, then by genre, and then lastly the synopsis given to see whether or not it would pique my curiosity. |
| genre and art-style; the art style tells me a lot about what's gonna be happening (moe-moe kyunn generic loli-tier characters usually turns into ecchi yuri with no meaning while styles with more thought often reveal a good story). |
 |
| description or recommendation |
 |
| I check the "Top Manga" list, and check the genre(s) of it. Also, the illustrations play a big role in whether I read it or not. Eg. Hunter x Hunter-I love the series, but I can't read it because of the poor illustration in Ant arc (Ik it gets much better further on). :( |
 |
| If I'm browsing manga in real life, I usually go by the art on the cover... that's what makes me pick it up. If the synopsis on the back is boring, I put it back! Easy! I spend a lot of time browsing different mangas on MAL as well, I've found two or three good ones on here. |
 |
| First I go by genre, then I choose the popular titles of that genre and see if the story sounds any good and then if I like the art I go and read it. |
| first i look at the genre, then take a peek at the manga itself, i dont read the plot coz i dont want to spoil myself XD |
 Special thanks to Gabu for this amazing avatar & sig set!! |
