| It usually goes two ways for me. i either wait until the chapter comes out then read it straight away. or i stop reading the series for a while then read it when a few chapters are out |
| I thought you were talking about Hunter x Hunter for a second. |
The word elitist is stupid since it's just used by people who can't defend their favorite shows and use it on people who criticize their favorite shows.  |
| I usually wait a couple of months before going back to it, and during that time, I invest myself in other series. Then when I feel like it, I'll pick up the manga again, binge it, then repeat the whole cycle. |

Giffa said: Wait whaaat? People made charts out of manga hiatus? oh wow I read berserk too though, havent read it for 2 years but as far as i know the chapter only added only a bit ... smh https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1602046 ^image original source and link to many charts for different series Monthly manga is bearable compared to the hiatus of series like hxh and berserk. I also try to finish off my endless list of plan to read manga while waiting. |
 |
| I just favourite these manga on my manga reading app, forget them and read something else, then bam, I get notified when a new chapter comes out and I get all giddy. Rinse and repeat. |
| Raise it up, raise up the happiness. |
| The secret is to read at lot of other manga to fill the void I have an admiration for the die-hard fans of the Glass Mask manga which started in the '70s and is still ongoing. Nana has been in a hiatus for almost 10 years Loveless has been defunct between 2008 and 2012 I have two personal favorite manga that get updated once a year ... Waiting only for a month for your manga to get an update it's like living in the Elysian fields |
| My method is, I wait even more. I look up the story arcs and don't go beyond the last finished one, then wait for the next arc to be finished and catch up. Where the story doesn't matter, I read the full volumes and wait until the next is done. It's much easier to take a break like this than to read 18-45 pages each month. It's also much better experience. Reading one chapter a month kills the pacing. |
  |
| I just wait for it while doing other stuff and check every now and then if the chapter is released. |
| I read many ongoing mangas. I read completed manga while waiting for them. Easy. |
 |
| 1. Wait impatiently each month and read two chapters or so that way 2. Lose enthusiasm and read maybe one more chapter 3. Stop caring/Forget 4. Find out there are a bunch of chapters I've missed out and read them all 5. Repeat |

| A month is nothing, there are even the cases where the author stops completely I deal with it by reading hundreds of manga at once (horrible choice tbh) and alternate between anime, weeby music and games. So I'm not reading manga 24/7 |
 |
| First you got to recognize that quality takes time (most of the time). Second, you got to recognize that you can have as much fun reading other works while you wait (its just sort of hard to find them). Third, you got to recognize that the best story is your own story, your life, and try to live it not getting hung up too much waiting for some manga chapter. |
| I never really had a problem with it, I even never really had a problem with series that just stop at random (vagabond), I got a lot of enjoyment out of it and now that it's over (or on hiatus) I can reflect on it and find something else. |
| Simple. You don't |
| Rance X is A GOAT. |
| Just read one shots or pick up random titles to pass time. A month is over wau before you know it. Some of the titles I was reading got dropped mid way due to no translation...scanlation issues have made me forget so many titles it's not funny |
 |
| I just pick up the completed ones now. My interest in the manga usually dies down if i have to wait for a month for the story to progress. |
 |
| Being really invested in the series helps. Find something that makes you really look forward to reading the next chapter. From personal experience, I'd recc Yakusoku no Neverland in that regard. |
   |
| What I'll do is catch up, then won't pick it back up again until there's enough chapters for me to marathon through. Waiting for 1 chapter every month / every few months otherwise, I would just forget what's going on. Ex: I've been wanting to read Glass Mask for so long but that manga has been going on since the 1970s! I've chosen to wait until it's complete to avoid the waiting/hiatuses. |

| Well... in my case I read +200 ongoing series, and I am starting new ones weekly, some times daily. That is a lot. By the time I catch up what I consider important, new chapters of ohter series are already out. So is rarely unbarable to wait. D-Gray Man learned me patience I guess. |
 |
| My way is pretty stupid and would probably suck the enjoyment of manga out of a lot of people, but i just read more manga. Whenever i'm bored and waiting for new chapters or have just completed a manga, i go to the recently updated section on my manga reader and just find anything that looks mildly interesting to my list. I have a metric shit ton of manga that i'm currently reading because of this but for me it's a great way of finding hidden gems or enjoyable manga that i would otherwise have never picked up or heard of |
 |
| Well good thing that I'm not of person who reads manga a lot. But if I do, I don't think I would bear it because I'm kinda an impatient person. |
 |
| I drown my sorrows by reading more manga. ...and the process repeats. |
 |
| You know, just live normally. It was Nov 2017 just yesterday and now we have May 2018. Time continues to flow and in the end you won't even notice months passing by. |
 I'm watching anime since 2012. I also play games, sometimes. Don't bother me if you want to 'become friends' or things like that. It's tiresome. I know you just want to collect some meaningless numbers. Thought: How many people sparked H. Charlotta just for blue pot? |
| I don't deal with it, what will usually happen is that I'll catch up to the manga and never check again for new chapters because I'm forgetful Actually, I know when jojolion chapters get released but I'm still too lazy to catch up. The best I can do is remembering the manga after a year and thinking "oh hey wasn't that cool??" and then proceed to catch up. Rinse and repeat |
  |
| What i find a total pain is when a new chapter comes out, you have already forgotten half the plot and forces you to re-read the entire thing. |
| I usually completely forget most ongoing mangas I read and just remember casually later on when there's one to three new chapters out so I don't mind much. |
Pincushions. I'm a long time threatening to buy one. Sticking them all over the place. Needles in window curtains. |
| I don't read any ongoing series unless: 1) I know it'll be done soon and completely scanlated in English 2) It's a very chill, episodic manga where the chapters aren't really linked and it's not plot heavy |
| I found this old thread by googling. Cause I needed a thread to talk about monthly releases of manga chaptesr. Imo for anime it is best to watch them weekly. Easy to enjoy. Easy to remember. 1 week is not a problem. Everythign watching at 1 day would be too much. I don't know about weekly manga - since I don't read them. For AoT - basically the only real monthly manga I read (I don't read many manga) I noticed that I tend to easily forget stuff. Don't know anymore whats going on. Have a harder time to remember the looks of the chars. (This is also because of no colors and looks might change over time once chars get older. New chars might join.) Basically I disliked season 1 of AoT cause before it started a lot of the manga was out and I read it and liked the faster pacing in the manga. Anime was too slow. Now witth the currend arc (I hope the manga ends soon) and the recent anime adaption (getting better every season) I really look forward to the last season and it getting adapted. Reading the latest chapters is only mainly for clicking + in my list. I'm not really enjoying it. Since Vinland Saga is still being published and the manga airing now ... I decided not to pick the manga up (Might end up at the point where I'd have to read monthly. I don't want that.) I'll wait for the anime to do more adaption. Or at least for the manga to finish (hopefully it won't run endlessly.) Then going to read it at my own pace without long breaks in between. So: Anime: weekly > binging/"at your own pace" Manga: "binging/at your own pace" > monthly. Have't tried weekly anime. And the reason I avoid most manga is becaus good stuff often gets already adaptions. Or too long/still being published. Need more good stuff fully finished and fully translated available - without adaption (yet) - set in a fantay or medieval-like setting. Edit: Seems arc-wise reading (waiting for a new arc to finish then reading the arc in one go/at your own pace) is recommended here a lot. I had expected that. Was my idea as well now that the manga for AoT if at a lot of chapters. Fully re-reading after a break seems silly. I have my chapter count accurately counted with my list. And the arcs are well-known. With the last season whe end of the manga should be dated as well. So it might be possible to time reading the last arc (re-reading from the start) to have the animated stuff covered before it airs ... while timing the end (if they end anime + manga at the same time - not uncommon nowadays) to read this without too long breaks in between readhing the chaps. |

| I read other series. There's a whole lot of other series you can read while waiting for your favorite series to be updated. |
| Just put yourself in a cryogenic sleep and tell them to unfreeze you when the manga ends. |
 |
| After following snk monthly manga since 2013, you will get use to it. |
| As others have said, I don't I read JoJo a while ago, caught up, and just dropped it. I'll pick it back it when I hear about it being finished. |
  |
| Either I or Kentarou, Miura will die of old age before Berserk is concluded. |
 |
| Sigh... when you read manga like Berserk, waiting several months only is a luxury really But the hype is real when it finally comes out. Aaand so is the disappointment *cough* another Griffith chapter *cough* |
| What I like to do that I have multiple different anime, manga, and manhwa to watch and read. Soon you'll realize time is passing by fast and its already time for a monthly release of a new chapter. Hell, it's already August 4 more months and it's 2020. |
