| The manga has to be really good. (Or have a really appealing cover/jacket if I'm in-store.) There are a few manga which I refuse to finish (and it's killing me) because I'm saving for the retail release and the like. I've even imported some because I liked them so much and they weren't available in English. The only manga I like to read online are one-shots; because tracking down specific magazine issues is a pain in the ass. Support the publishers or whatever. xD |

| If its a newer manga than I'm more willing to buy it because then I get the excitement of waiting for the new volumes to come out meanwhile with longer/on-going manga I'd much rather read online because I'm too poor to afford all the volumes lol. But if a manga is on sale then I will buy it or those multi-volume manga with like 3 volumes in one because that's just a swell deal. |
| I use a manga app on my phone, that way i can take whatever i want around with me, whenever i need it. |

| I would rather have my manga at home ready when i need them. Just looking at my manga on my shelf is great. I only buy the manga i think its worth buying though, and the rest i read online. |

| I don't like reading online, cause it doesn't have the original lines it says from the actual manga. I'd rather have the real thing on my hands and going back and forth as much as I want. Plus, I like to have a collection of manga |

| It's all about the collection for me. Although it is nice to support the author, how much % they get i have no fucking idea but it is probably more than what the DVD sales give them. Bought a few volumes of claymore recently, that definitely deserves my money. but yeah, i love to collect things and there is usually some form of collecting hobby i have going. atm it's manga and probably always will be xD i don't see myself losing interest in fiction. but damn i got a couple volumes now, going to be needing a shelf very soon >.< |

| Mainly that buying cost money and takes up physical space. If you have any manga/books in general they take up a lot of space and you will probably only read them once. It's a lot more easier and less time consuming/costly/space taking up for me to just read on my iphone/android. To be honest if I had to buy all the manga/anime I've read/seen it would have cost a lot and take up a lot of space. I doubt I would even still read/watch anime/manga if I had to buy it never mind seeing as much as I have. |
| I don't read manga online, if they are published in my country. If I have already read something, and after some time it gets published here, I buy it. |
  |
I personally like having a hard, physical copy in my hand to read, especially if it's a series i really love. But i just generally love collecting it in general, obviously only series I love or are interested in, and it makes me feel good to know I am supporting the industry. |

| I kinda hate online reading and I LOVE to collect books/comics/mangas so when something is available I'll buy it. I only go to online platforms for some series I'm really into but which aren't licensed here, like Liar Game for example. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| I mostly just read manga online. If I'm in the mood to buy manga, I'll go to a bookshop and look at the manga available. I'll then buy something that slightly interests me and if I love it enough I'll end up buying the other volumes and not read it online |

| I've always been an avid reader, and I'm one of those people who really likes the feeling of owning my very own (physical) copy of a good story. In my mind I keep thinking I'm going to save them and pass them down to my children one day, but knowing how protective I am of my stuff I probably won't even let them touch any of it until they're practically adults and therefore are able to handle everything with the utmost care. x) Plus staring at a computer screen for too long hurts my eyes, and if I have to do most of my study online then I'd rather not spend most of my leisure time burning out my eyeballs either. Having said that, I live in Australia and manga is rather hard to come by. It also costs me almost an hour's worth of work to buy just one volume, so right now I only own one box set, and that happens to be Death Note. I really love the art style, and because the story is rather heavy with plot and dialogue I feel like it's well worth the money to be able to really pore through the books and experience the story in the most immersive way possible. So basically, I'll only buy manga with an engaging plot (otherwise I feel like I'll get the same experience reading it online), with an art style and a world that I really love. |
