Manga: online or actual book

**shadow_skills_93** · 07-23-2008, 07:01 AM

just wondering if u prefer to buy the actual manga book or reading it online

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 would by the original version of the manga.
I'd buy volumes of my favorite mangas, but not comic magazines.. i find them annoying
but meh, buy manga NOW!
SUPPORT MANGAKAS! SUPORT ANIME!

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. =)

and if you think about it, lots of anime came from mangas... so its a vicious cycle!

I make both. Iread it online on English and when i have the money i buy them on German

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

>. > thats what you expect by reading fansubs...

**Grave** · 07-23-2008, 09:19 AM

Right

**Beyond Birthday** · 07-23-2008, 09:25 AM

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

I would like to buy volumes but I always read it online because its there and its free.

**Athena** · 07-23-2008, 07:06 PM

personally the same way...since i dont have a job at the moment and money usually only comes during x-mas or bday i find it easier to read online,
