I wanted to ask other mylotters who among here are reading manga or Comic books online. For example who among here are reading manga online or buying paperback issues.
I'm reading manga before but it is like way back 2005 and it was my favorites, Hunter x Hunter (well, there was no manga-jump before or similar sites during high school so given, there's no online manga streaming for that). Same thing with those Comic books like in Marvel and DC.
I am also curious during that time how it was created in manga and if it is different in anime versions. Some artist removes part that it is shown in manga versions and we find it either it sucks on anime or it is way better being animated.
Give me your feedback about manga reading and how do you find reading so far; like if you're reading manga; do you still read the usual books or online? Or are you downloading it for further reading purpose? Tell me more about it

I've only read a few manga and usually just parts of it. So far I have read Bleach, Naruto, and Fairy Tail. My boyfriend reads mango more frequently than I do. I sometimes prefer watching the anime since I have a had time visualizing the action sequences in comics. I also sometimes get confused since I need to read it right to left... and of course I'm used to reading left to right. Hahaha!

I still read manga online and story nowadays are really more unique and interesting than before. But what i hate the most is that some manga are too long and still incomplete. I never read manga like that. I`m checking the data first before i read something and if it was finished then i will go for it. I recently read KARIN. I finished it already and it was about a vampire family but she is quite different in a way that she can stay outside even there is sun, she can eat onion and etc. It was quite fun and unique compare to twilight I am into new manga now titled AISHITERUZE BABY. It was about a rebel guy who needs to take care of his six year old adorable cousin. He was change by the situation

I feel so old all the sudden! Anyways, I've been reading and collecting manga for over ten years now. I've got over 600 volumes of paperback issues and who knows how many gigabytes on my external hard drive. And it doesn't look like I'll be stopping anytime soon. I've read so many different manga over the years and I have a bunch of favorites, like Fullmetal Alchemist, Eyeshield 21, Beck, Mars, Anatolia Story and more. Right now the only manga I'm reading and keeping up to date on online are One Piece, Katekyo Hitman Reborn and Ichi. I enjoy reading the scanslations online but I do believe in supporting the author so I do buy the books too.

I started reading manga because it felt incomplete and hanging in the anime. And I really like it so far. I read it online in mangafox and mangareader through my phone or my computer. I was really addicted to it but now I put limitations to the time I spent in reading because of work and other stuffs. I also downloaded some of it especially the one-shots because I read when I travel to prevent boredom. =)

I have read different manga before but I never though of doing it as a hobby, I only read manga online and I read those manga that I really follow in their anime version. One of those manga are ONE PIECE. I did not read it from the first chapter, but I started in the chapter that I remember that I have watch in the anime series. I tried reading one manga from its first chapter, but I didn't succeed in continuing it because I wasn't excited in reading it. I haven't try reading a real manga, because I don't have the money to buy one.
Reading manga for me is still amusing because some of the drawing and art style you will see in a manga can change on its anime version. Its fun reading it and I can get excited while reading it and I also want to see it move when they make a anime version of it.

I've been reading mangas since high school
but I don't buy them. I just usually borrow
them from my classmates who has them. Because
each volume is quite expensive for my budget
so I never bought mangas yet. So at highschool,
I usually borrow. In college, I just now read them
online. Sometimes I download them and transfer to
my fone so that I can read it anywhere.
I usually just read shoujo mangas, sometimes josei.

Hi, I am in the Philippines and manga here are so expensive. Good thing I can read them online. I read in mangafox and animecrazy. Sometimes I read in crunchyroll too! Though I prefer watching anime, it is good to read manga because when anime is not finished, you would find it in manga. I have many favorite anime series like Samurai X, Love Hinna, Bokura ga ita, etc.. :)

I only love short comics, like those ending within one page or two. Although i read long novel, reading long manga make me feel tired and sometimes even stressed i don't know why. I had a set of pita ten some times before, it was the only set of long manga i had ever had.

I love manga. Sometimes the anime version doesn't do justice to it, especially with regards to the artwork. Anyway, I prefer reading it online cuz I can't afford it anyways... :P

I read manga online.. but sometimes when i go to a bookstore, i also buy a manga if it have an interesting story.. I don't usually buy one though cause it cause a lot.. I've read countless manga that have become anime like Maid-Sama..Some parts were not shown maybe because those parts were just not important and if they show all parts shown in the manga then the anime will drag so long.. :) I really love reading manga because i love how they draw the characters and how they were portrayed by the mangaka.. i also sometimes read a manhua, it's a korean version of manga.. :)

I love reading manga durng old days and I always sleep late because of my addiction to it. As of today I cannot read manga as like of the old days because of my studies. Anyway, I cannot find some manga store in our city or town so I rely always in free online reading site. I like them because I can feel the characters emotions and motives in the story. The thing that I really like about mangas/animes are the things they can do that we can't. Like flying in the air, get hurt and heal easily and can control enormous abilities which only exist in their world, not to mention their cuteness .
