| Depends on whether or not I feel like reading the manga, and if I liked the anime. Even a good anime can have some moments cut out to fit in. |
 |
| I've started reading the manga for Tokyo Ghoul and Non Non Biyori after I finished their respective anime. I also started the No Game No Life light novel after finishing the anime. Usually, however, I try to stick with either the anime or the manga unless I liked the manga/anime/LN so much that I want more of it (Non Non Biyori, No Game No Life, and I'm going to watch the Parasyte anime once I finish the manga) or I've heard that the version I didn't experience was much better than the one I did (Tokyo Ghoul), or if the version I didn't experience has more content to offer (I'm going to start reading the manga for The World God Only Knows). |
ShizukuViolet said: Well the anime original ending left many things unresolved but at the same time the last talk between them in the roof especially the part that “I want him to see me as a girl” gave me hope and I picked the manga to find out if Hase would find a solution to all of Kaori troubles. I was preparing to put Isshuukan Friends in my top manga list because I was expecting a different outcome from the anime but nop the manga left the relationship between them the same… @Roy_Focker hey, I also watched Isshuukan Friends and had the urge to pick up the manga, but honestly that was the first time I was regretting reading the manga. It kind of did not reach my (low) expectations at all. Hey, I understand that this manga was about friendship and trying to help Kaori restore her memories so she can move forward with her life without her being tied to the past (not a romance anime in that kind of way) and the manga did just that but geez the lack of “skinship” between them was disappointing I’m not talking about kissing but how about holding hands/arms, hugging or kiss on the cheeks the last panel of the manga would have been better in my opinion if Kaori hug him or kiss him on the cheek… Shougo & Saki fill the Lovey–dovey cute moment in this manga they were truly a treat to read through the whole manga. What about you? Why the low expectations? Why you regret reading the manga? I would like to hear your opinion... |

| Don't read manga yet, but if it ended in a big cliffhanger i would read the manga, if the anime itself has a conclussion i think I wouldn't. |
| This is my signature |
| yes of course, i read manga after i watched the anime only to know the ending. |
| " At least we stare at the same sky" |
| After I finish the anime, if I liked it, I tend to read the manga |
 |
| For anime that either I really liked or the ones that gets shat on for being unfaithful, I put it on PTR. So AgK, Tokyo Ghoul, Prison school for example. Also had Shokugeki no Soma and Noragami in PTR in the past but not after a sequel was announced. Either way, I don't read much manga at all |
| sometimes, if i'm interested. i read Witch Craft Works right now after watching the anime. same with To Love ru Darkness. |
 |
| Just if the anime ends in a big cliffhanger and I really liked it 😊 |
| This is my signature |
| I dont read mango unless theres actual romance involved init and the mango is actually finished. I see no point doing it otherwise (there are very few exceptions tho) |
| I don't tend to, just in hopes another season of the anime comes out, but I feel like I should start to. |
| hell no reading manga is for nerds But seriously, no. If a series doesn't get a complete anime adaptation...well that's that, I simply move on. I don't like reading manga. The lack of color turns me off and there's always the possibility for an anime adaptation/sequel (it's why I haven't read JoJo's part 4 through 8, so far I'm doing great) |
| Its the opposite for me. Never watched an anime after having completed the manga. |
 |
| I typically only read manga if I really enjoyed the anime. In that case it would seem that I couldn't get enough of it and must find a way to continue enjoying it. |
| 90% of the time, no. Only if my interest in it is strong enough and there is significant amount of story left that wasn't adapted into anime. Being available officially in the US also drastically improves the odds of me reading it. I focus mainly on anime, and my manga/novel completion list is absolutely pathetic when compared with how much anime I've watched. |

| "Laws exist only for those who cannot live without clinging onto them." -Souske Aizen "Bleach"  |
| Yup, I do that pretty often when I like a show a lot in and just want to see more of it. |
| Only for Shokugeki no soma, Nanatsu no taizai, One piece, terra formars, one punch man ... |
| I'd probably continue a lot more anime through manga if I wasn't such a lazy shit. I can see where you friends are coming from watching solely anime. Manga you have to read and scroll, anime it "scrolls" for you. Plus there's always that appeal of characters having voices. |
 |
| I plan to a lot of the time, but I like to give some time between the two. |
 |
| I recently discovered the that my crunchyroll subscription comes with manga as well, so I've been reading the manga for Princess Jellyfish because I hate how the anime left off. I've also started reading the manga of Fairy Tail instead of watching the anime because I've had it with all the filler episodes. I'm actually preferring the manga to the anime, so I have other series I'm planning to pick up through the manga. |
 |
| I'll probably switch over and read the manga if the show ended incomplete\pathetically\unsatisfactorily and I know the manga is better\complete. |
 |
| yes, for some of good anime for me. like nisekoi, shokugeki no soma, and assassination classroom i'm also read the manga if the story is too slow and full of filler, such as one piece, naruto, and fairy tail |
| Not yet, but I do plan on stopping being an anime-only pleb eventually. :p |
| Yeah, when I enjoy an anime and need more of it then I read the manga. Sometimes there is some extra information about the characters :D |
 |
| If I like the anime and the manga is scanlated, pretty much always. |
 |
| I defenitly read the manga if I really enjoyed the anime, if it ends in a cliff-hanger or when the anime didnt yet start airing but I'm curious enough to read the manga... did the last one to most of the animes I'm watching ths season, specially Bungou Stray Dogs and I dont regret it one bit :D |
 |
| If I like the anime and/or it remains inconclusive or I hear it had a anime original ending, only then do I read the manga. Sometimes I still read the manga even after watching the series though, only due to manga readers not being satisfied with it and suggesting me to read it, as in the case of Tokyo Ghoul. There are also those shounen series that I can't take the time to read through due to them being so large. I tend to try to avoid watching anime of which I've read the source materials of first. Primely because I'm skeptical on how well it is adapted into an animation. |
| I rarely do. But I make exceptions for a few. |
| Nah i will add the manga to my list and eventually get around to it, i rarely read as is so it takes forever for me to get around to them. |
No drop crew, Loyal husband, sadomasochist, H&E bully, AWC fan. Click sig for n00dz!  |
| never have even read a single manga [that may not be true] but no, I dont manga |
| I read manga when I REALLY like a series. Sometimes I pick up manga first and then watch the anime if the same reason occurs. I read through what we have so far of Bungou Stray Dogs because I was tired of waiting for a week for a new episode, and that's not the first time I've done that. So to answer your question clearly, it really depends on how much I like a series. |
| That's a bad habit. You would just need to read the manga from the start if the adaptation was bad. It should be reading the manga first then watch the anime. So, you would know why others are so upset about the outcome of the anime. |
| Haters always gonna hate. |
| Depends if I really like the anime I use to pick up the manga. |
