| I think in 99 out of 100 times black & white pages look much better than colored ones. |

| In a physical manga, many of them have 1 or 2 chapter pages that are colored. I kind of like that. Black and white is the preferable way to go. |

I prefer coloured I guess   Actually I don't care, also I can only vote for colored in the poll. |
    |
| Webtoons are almost always colored. Paper based manga is kind of lame. |
 |
| Looks like I messed up the poll and it doesn't look like I can fix it. |
| I prefer black & white in general, but the colored ones can be nice sometimes (like when you get some really gorgeous colored art for the beginning of a new volume/chapter for example). |
| I’m still opting for B&W though seeing some colored pages can be really nice (the one at the start of Volume 2 for Bloom Into You looks so good as an example) |

| if manga is full color like webtoons i will definitely read more |
| Both are fine for me, as I'd read manga either way. |
 |
| I usually always prefer black and white since that's what they're like when you physically buy the volumes (except of course series that were pressed officially to color like Dragon Ball/Jojo's Bizarre Adventure). So it more comes down to the publishing itself, if I could find more series that were pressed in color, I would probably read them with color more often. |
>implying we can discuss /a/ Anime & Manga |
| Black and white. Having bought and read manga magazines for years, I find it more difficult to read a series of color pages. The color version may be beautiful, but it is doubtful that the author himself specified the colors and painted some parts, and the additional work of coloring will greatly reduce the author's time for writing the manga. In the case of a serialized manga, it is possible for the author to get sick and stop the series, which would affect his/her stamina, so considering this, it would be better to use black and white, with the occasional color page on the cover. I also think that color would increase the price of the manga magazine and the manga itself, making it more difficult for child readers to buy and read the manga, which would reduce the number of readers and shrink the size of the manga industry. |

| I would enjoy manga more if it was colored. It looses so much for not being a standard. Then again, some manga are better black and white. Its the same with other regions comics. It all depends on what type of story and feeling you wanna convey, color has a very important role in that. Its one of the reasons why many look at anime in amazement cause it brings in that much needed color the manga leaves out (among other things). |

| Colored is nice but not mandatory. |
| Black and white is the way to go but I don't mind a few colored pages like the cover pages |
 |
| Depends on art style since the more detailed styles look great black and white but something more simple drawn might look better in solour but not always just depends how the colour is used. There also can be nice middle ground where an image is most black and white but uses some accent colours which looks pretty good when used right.

| @traed thanks, that's useful information. |
| I don't think I've ever read a manga that was full colour. It would be cool to have more full colour manga, it never bothered me reading uncoloured. |
 This ground is soiled by those before me and their lies. I dare not look up for on me I feel their eyes |
| If all the colored pages looks like the covers like how some manga does with 1/2 pages of a beginning of a volume, then that would be ideal. However, I'm not really fond of the coloring style of most full colored manga/manhwa. Full colored manga like Shadow House has too many black lines, personally not a fan of that style + colors. I prefer clean style with colors. For webtoons, the coloring are usually clean but I can see that details are being compromised, especially if compared to their covers - the coloring on the normal pages are usually a lot simpler. So I picked B&W. |
  |
| I grew up reading manga black and white, so I'll go with uncoloured. |
 |
| Black and white is just more easier info to digest. But a few colored pages here and there is not bad |

| @777Looma Well, these are special colored pages by Araki so it looked great. But JoJo colored are pretty good. |
| Prefer black and white most of the time. But getting colored pages at start of a chapter is pretty cool. I can't get into Manhwa and one of the reason is I really don't like the coloring. I can't really explain what about it that I don't like but colors feels very boring to me. |

| @LuluThetka Totally agreed with this. It's fun to have that bit of imagery to clench onto for further scenes but not having the colors makes me appreciate the art/linework more, in a weird way |
 |
| Black looks more impressive with all the different shades/shading imo. Coloured tends to look like a cheap comic. |
 |
| I have liked black & white comics long before I read my first mangas. |
 |
| I prefer uncolored since it's more available and I can see art improve |

| @LuluThetka I like the pages coloured by araki but I don't really like the Shueisha coloured pages. |
|
| tbh i like either though i do tend to read more black and white panels than colored. |

| It entirely depends, but I generally dislike full-colour manga/manhwa, I don't think it looks nice. |
   |
| Rather not see color in manga. Monochrome/Black And White panels hit way different. i also read webtoons,manhwa,manhua and imo it fits much better there. |
| Out of the two I think b&w pages carry more weight than coloured. Having a couple coloured pages is nice, but it's not necessarily needed. |
