| 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... |

| Reading it physically is better. |
| I prefer actual manga but since you have to buy, i tend to read online. |
 |
| 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. |

Juchan09 said: 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 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. |
| Physical copy, I buy whenever I have the money, but since I'm a broke teen with no job, it's a rare event. |
| 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. |
| 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) |
| I definately prefer a proper book and can't get into reading them online. However, I do sometimes read some manga on my iPad. |
  |
| Definitely prefer having the actual book, in Japanese as well if possible. |
Eyes always lose their fire |
| I myself don't really read online i love having a physical copy. Though there is nothing wrong with reading online! |
| Online for long ongoing mainstream manga. I purchase the 2-20 volume manga. (excluding Dragon Ball, I'm planning to complete that eventually) |
 |
| I've finished most of the mangas that I love through online manga hosting websites, but I like buying a manga. The only problem is that the book store I often buy mangas from sells the same volumes everytime I go there, so I read online. |
| Online. I like reading it on a large screen that I don't have to look down at. Plus, I'm frequently online, so I can switch between manga and other things more easily. I still buy manga because I like owning physical copies of things, but I always read online first to make sure I like it, and even if I own the manga, I usually still read it online. I only use hard copies for when I'm out somewhere. |
| i usually download manga and put it on my kindle. I'd buy actual manga to support the mangaka but maybe i won't read it because most of the translation sucks and doesn't make sense |
| I'd honestly rather take the risk and (if it's available in the US) buy volume one of a manga that looks promising instead of reading it online. Since I'm pretty bad at judging manga unless it's just SO terrible that all it's flaws are easily sticking out it's not that hard for me to enjoy a manga and I haven't wasted my money yet. Despite this, I can't and won't buy every manga that looks nice, and when I can't I just read it on my iPod since the screensize and what not is much more convenient for reading manga. |
 |
| Actual. Almost all my manga is bought, in my room, and on my shelf, but online if the series isn't licensed. |
  |
| Definitely Actual Manga and I'm proud of my manga collection. Read manga online is not good for my eyes. |
  |
| Actual manga. It's just great having an actual book in your hand while reading. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Manga is expensive but I really can't stand reading it online; thus I always buy it. |
| Online, it's convenient |

| it's better to have a collection, no question about that!But i am reading so many things and the money is too much for me now!Unfortunately i have to read online as well!Thank God for websites and people who help us! |
| This world...is rotten |
| I'd rather read manga when it's in my hands, because I love having it in my hands? XD But I hardly buy manga and when I do it's a big treat. I do also read manga online because I know that most manga is online and you usually can't get it in stores |

| Ahaha, back when I worked as a waitress at a place right next to a bookstore I bought way too much manga. A large majority of the total tip money I made working there for two years went towards manga. I'm not particularly ashamed of that, though I probably should be. If that doesn't answer your question, I like actual manga. Though, now that I'm at university I don't have my collection and I'm always broke, so I'm getting into reading them on my iPad instead. I don't really like reading on my computer though. I get distracted and end up somewhere else - usually MAL. |
| I prefer physical, but I read online if it's unavailable to me. |
 |
| Obviously the real ones are much Superior but digital ones when put on a kindle DX (which is what i do) is a good enough substitute when you have no money or nowhere to buy manga. |
No matter where you go, everyone's connected.  |
| Of course actual manga is better, but yeah online is free to read :D |

| Physical for me :) |
| Like most, I prefer manga in book form. I've read the first few chapters of some manga online and hated them, but when I managed to get hold of the manga in book form I immediately felt more engaged and enjoyed them, so I think the medium is very influential. If I know there are volumes of a manga that I want to read at my local libraries, then naturally I'm going to pick them over online translations/scans. |
