| Reading the manga while holding it is the best though I read some online if it's not licensed in English. |
| Used to collect manga. Bought like almost all of Naruto Shippuden and few volumes of the first Naruto. Also have a few Fairly Tail volumes as well. I just got tired of buying them all. And do not have a store nearby which to get them from. And I have a storage trunk which I could use for important things but instead half of it just gets used for manga. I used to collect Shonen Jump magazines as well. Had quite a bit of those. I'm still kinda sad they stopped having physical prints of them, but they save me room that way. xD Now I just read everything online so that I can save space and money. |

Arasy said: Eneeli said: Word. There's nothing quite like holding a physical book in your hands and poring over the details. I'll buy physical manga if I could but the variety for English-translated manga in Singapore is still quite limited compared to the Mandarin Chinese ones (which I'm unable to read fluently). Online is the way to go for now. Hahaha.. Yeah, even here in Malaysia, I always see the variety of Mandarin Chinese light novels and manga. The covers look so pretty. Then, I kind of wish I took Chinese in primary school. Yeeeeah! But it also depends on whether the Chinese manga is Simplified or Traditional. In Singapore, most of them come from Taiwan, which uses Traditional Chinese. The ones in Simplified Chinese are also kinda limited comparatively. Simplified Chinese is taught in schools here, so Traditional Chinese is almost a foreign language to me. Out of curiosity, what's it like for manga in Malaysia though? |
| Online and listening M83, as usual. I honestly prefer having the physical version in hands, however the mangas published here have a shit quality and design for its high value. The dollar is too high to try to export them. |

Out of curiosity, what's it like for manga in Malaysia though? Well, in Malaysia, a lot of manga is translated into Malay. There's some magazines that publish manga but they're technically illegal since they didn't obtain the rights to publish. I didn't know about till some time ago but apparently, manga like City Hunter, Cat's Eye and Kindaichi are also available in Malay. That being said the company that translated them seems to have gone bankrupt. If you go to bookstores, the manga you see published in Malay are typically Shoujo, Junji Ito, Detective Conan, Doraemon, Shin Chan. |
