Hello3245 said: Hmm.. Maybe you can try it since there's a lot of manga which are better than their anime adaptation..I've NEVER read a manga before. I never read books either, unless it's for college or it's helpful for my job. However, I love anime! Do you like anime better than manga? Do you think I should get into manga? What's your favorite manga and the most popular one? As for me myself, i like anime better than manga, however i also read a plenty of manga and i can say that it's also my hobby aside from anime.. All i can say is you can try it since with manga you can go with your own pace and read the whole story without being butchered/rush (which are some cases in anime adaptation) |
Reality is the lifeblood that makes a work pulse with energy. Reality itself is entertainment  |
| Yeah as you're missing out on great works such as 20th Century Boys , Oyasumi Punpin just to name a few. Try Kingdom and Liar Game if you want an intelligent story. I don't really read that much either but I do like reading visual novels at I don't lose focus that much. |
 All credit goes to Sacred. |
| nah like them both |
 |
| It's been like a year since I've read more than a couple of chapters. |
 |
| I've found more anime that I loved than manga, but I like reading manga more than watching anime. I need to read more, don't know why I'm so lazy even with things like this :p and I haven't read many things either, so it's hard to recommend something to you but I'd say maybe try Oyasumi Punpun and One Punch Man (very different) |

| I like both equally but for different reasons. I've watched more than I've read but still.. I'd say give Manga a try. There are just so many amazing pieces whithout an Anime version. People miss out imo, especially if they like rather unusual or uncommon stories/styles. I love psychological and seinen Manga like Homunculus or Usogui. They don't get an adaption easily. Anime have the advantage of building up an atmosphere through more than just pictures. The music has a huge impact for me. And for Manga, I don't know if that's an uncommon reason but.. I appreciate Manga more in the sense that it's a "direct art form" made by "only" the Mangaka, so of course that makes me value it on a different level. |
| i am more of a reader, and thus prefer reading manga than watching the anime, but it doesnt mean i hate it |
| I think most of the time manga are better than anime but there are exceptions where the anime adaptation is better than the manga version. Personally I prefer manga |
| You should read some. |
 |
| Yeah, It's pretty close though, some things are better in anime form and others in manga form, but If I had to choose one I'd probably pick manga. :) |
| Im just a normal guy! (I'm lying) Send me a friend-request if you think friends are fun! |
| To be honest, no. I get bored too easily with manga :/ I can read manga when it comes to yaoi/shounen ai. But about other genres... I just can't. The only story that I managed to finish very quickly because it was DAMN good it was Oyasumi Punpun, otherwise it bores me way too much. That's why I prefer anime. |
| I like to see things animated, but I like that manga are longer and actually finish the story. |
| I enjoy them both equally. Sometimes I'm in mood for anime, and sometimes for manga. |
  |
| Yes! Manga >> Anime any day. I don't enjoy watching anime and only do so if that story was an original anime, not adapted. Yes, well I think you should give it a shot. Fullmetal Alchemist is my favorite manga, it's also pretty popular. |
| I am more of a watcher than a reader . |
 |
| Personally i Prefer anime than manga |

| i love manga and anime equally even though i follow my princip of watching the anime first before continuing with the manga. beside youll probably find lots of manga with good plots that might never get an anime. |
| Sonic X is basically an isekai |
| I prefer manga. |
| 50/50. I sway from one to the other. Right now I'm more into Anime, but last month, it was Manga. |
| I like both, but I prefer manga. All the series that have really caught my attention have all been manga and it's more time efficient. |
| I like anime, but I would still prefer the manga. There are also a lot of titles out there deserving adaptation, yet no and then I fear that it might turn out as a half-assed work, lol. When you know the manga's flow, watching the anime after that can bring a small (not always) disappointment. |
 |
| Depends on my mood. |
 |
| yes more variety i've always been more of a book person than a movie person imo a lot of anime are "better" also no poverty scanlations but i love manga. i'm always busy and always out or walking or whatever and i like being able to read it on my phone. |
| well, no berserk or claymore full anime adaptation.. sooo.... |
 |
| More like I can't help but like manga more than anime most of the times. I can't enjoy anime when I've seen the manga, but I can enjoy manga after watching the anime. Don't really recommend manga despite of my fondness. Favorite is One Piece, and I've been enjoying Blue Exorcist lately. |
| I guess I do like manga a little more, since my... Anime Mean Score = 6.10 Manga Mean Score= 6.28 But if the anime is well done (nice voices, music, colors, animation and the story is not rushed), it is difficult for a manga to beat it. |
| The writer who penned Clashing Feelings. You can buy the light novel on Amazon. |
| Manga is always better Anime can only live up to its source material or fail |
| Depends, i think there is no straight answer. Sometimes I like the manga version more than the anime adaption and sometimes it is in reverse. |
| If there's an anime adaptation planned or already out - I'll watch it and probably never read manga. On the other hand, loads of mangas don't have it, so I'll read it. However, I'm reading it very rarely… |
| Easy, the one that's more popular/higher rated. And if both versions are popular, I go for anime and then read the manga if I really liked the adaptation. And yes, you really should start reading both manga AND books. Otherwise you're going to miss many great stories, often with better narrative. And as my avatar is JoJo: tl;dr read the manga. |
What a beautiful Duwang. |
| I prefer watching since voice,sound effect does bring entertain |
 Yahallo! Yatta! Baka! <!  "Humans, your existence was a mistake. Conflicts, lies, jealously, greed. You once caused me to lose everything and today I will devour everything... Because I am the Valkyrie Goddess"> |
| none of them got more or less between each other for me. :v |

Hello3245 said: Do you like anime better than manga? Do you think I should get into manga? What's your favorite manga and the most popular one? I like manga better because personally it's faster to read, it has better action scenes, and it is prettier although it is not in color. Reading is good for you. My favorite romance manga is Akagami no Shirayuki-hime, and my favorite action manga is Cage of Eden. It says on here the best manga is Berserk and the most popular one is Naruto. |
| I prefer watching anime over reading manga. But I like reading manga too. Sometimes after watching the anime, I start reading manga where anime left off. I also have a couple of manga I read when a new chapter comes out. And I have paper volumes on my shelf. I find watching easier, actually. I can multitask while watching whereas I can't do it when reading. And I like seeing characters in color and hearing the OST. So no, I like watching anime more than reading manga but I still enjoy doing the latter. |
| I like pancakes. |
