Manga Preferences:
1. What's the theme? I'll be blunt, I'm not that into comedy or Naruto level shit, though I can tolerate a bit of it. I got into manga a few years after watching anime, so I'm more inclined to enjoy seinen manga than shounen manga, though I do enjoy some shounen manga.
2. Kind of similar to anime preferences: Can I relate to the characters? What's the meaning of the work to me? Some manga like Oyasumi Punpun is meant to have dislikable characters.
3. What do the characters learn from their mistakes or journeys and at what stage of life do they learn this?
4. How interesting is the work? There doesn't need to be explosions or laser beams wiping out cities to make a manga interesting, in fact I find a lot of that boring because the media is oversaturated with that crap (I'm looking at you OPM). I'm more interested in the uniqueness of the individual and how the portrayal of these unconventional characters creates a new and original manga.
6. Have I watched the anime yet? I've watched a lot of anime, and I hope to read a lot of manga in the future. The problem is there's a lot of great anime that I've watched that was based on a great manga, and sometimes I enjoy going back and reading that manga to revisit it through a different medium.
