physical manga or online manga?

[MikuMikuni]

I prefer reading physical but there's the dilemma of wanting to keep the volumes pristine so I just stick to reading online. And also sticking to physical manga will eventually hurt me bc I can't exactly keep them in good condition forever.

I read it online and if i like the story, i tend to buy it physically for my collection.

Physical manga takes up too much space, collects dust, fades over time, and heavy collections are a pain to move around. I prefer it digitally because it's hassle-free. The availability and delivery speed of digital versions also simply can't compare to physical copies.

online manga are convenient to read anytime，I've only collected a few of my favorite physical manga

Online is so much easier and can scroll in bed lol, I do like physicals of stuff but it costs so much more/takes up a lot of space.

Definitely online manga. As much as I still love having physical books, physical manga (especially shoujosei) of my favorites are usually inaccessible outside Japan since they aren't popular enough

I prefer online because of its convenience and I don't have to worry about losing or ruining it. If physical, I'd be worried about ruining it or something so I'd probably just leave it on display and never read them lol But I can definitely see the appeal of physical manga since you can display them, and the joy and feeling of reading them in your own hands is just different.

I mostly online.
I don't like having more and more things piling up at home lol

I usually read it online and then buy a physical copy for collection reasons

I mostly read manga online, since mangas are very expensive in my country :,)

Honestly with the invention of the e-reader, I enjoy reading them digitally so much now. It's awesome to have all the books you could possibly want inside a tiny device.

I like both, but if there's a series I really love, I'll usually buy the physical volumes to keep in my collection.

For actually reading, though, I tend to read online most of the time because it's simply more convenient. I can read whenever and wherever I want without having to carry a stack of books around.

That said, I still don't think the experience is quite the same. There's something different about holding a physical manga, turning the pages, and actually seeing the collection sitting on your shelf. So for me, online is for convenience, while physical copies are for the stories I really love and want to keep.

It depends! I prefer online manga as a way of introducing me to different series. I only get physical copies of my favorite series and even then I don't get many copies since I don't have room to put all of it anyways.
