I would better read it online then buy it.

Or if I wouldn't read it online then i would just borrow it from the library.

(Reason I wouldn't buy it is because i wouldn't like to waste money like that)

I buy manga a lot, I prefer it over reading it online. Online just feels..... meh, I don't know how to explain it, but it's much better buying it. I find it isn't a waste of money if I actually want it. Sometimes I'll just check manga out at my school library (Yeah they have it there!!!! =D) But most of it is old or out by the time I wan to read it. x.x

Overall I find it much better to buy, plus it supports writers to make us more great mangas. =)

Most, if not all anime came from manga. But the manga you find online is usually sloppy work that cuts a lot of words out, trust me, I bought the Eureka 7 manga, and then I read it online cuz I was bored, and there was a HUGE difference. So many words and things were either not there or done differently. x.x

Fansubs is all there is online tho.

Those few that only read online are missing out on a lot of good stuff that online manga sites usually mess up. Once you buy one good manga, you can't simply go to only reading it online.

i haven't experienced reading original manga..i mean i read it online..

i would love to support MANGAKAS but unfortunately MANGA here in my place is a very rare item that makes it very expensive and besides( i think) no other than NARUTO is available in my place
