How do u like a manga--from the artwork or the storyline/the idea?

Of course the artwork is very catching but the storyline would definitely catch the attention of most readers. The artwork is something nice to look at and I enjoy seeing nice arts, especially anime characters!

I like reading manga in terms of its all in all art. I am looking forward to the story and the graphics as well.

I look at artwork first, I will choose manga with good artwork. If the story is good n many people recomended that manga, I will read that manga.... ^_^

Yeah, I think that if the storyline is good, the artwork is not very important at all. But if the artwork is very very very bad... I think I can't read it even the storyline is the best in the world. Both of them are important facts, but if one is very good, the other can be not good at all.

I agree with u but of course artwork is also important when we read good story with good artwork it will be easy to understand

I definitely am more willing to forgive bad artwork if the storyline is good. However, since the cover art and general art style is what I see first, I'm definitely drawn to stories with nice art from the get go, unless I get a really good recommendation. I tend to prefer the shounen art style over shoujo (too many hearts and flowers everywhere), but as far as the stories themselves go, I'll try anything once. Usually if the art is really awful or the story doesn't engage me, I give up after a few chapters and move on to something new. Most of the manga series I've read and enjoyed in the past have had both good plots (in my opinion) as well as pretty art. The one exception would be Whistle!, maybe? But I got over the iffy art quality after the first volume because the story was just so sweet. :D

i prefer both.. but it is more favorable if it has a good artwork at first..
