physical manga or online manga?

I usually read online manga first and if I really like it then I'll consider getting the physical copy too, but I don't usually end up actually using the manga to read.. it'll be more a collection of my favorite mangas cause I don't wanna crease it.. T_T

Honestly, I love both, but there's something special about holding a physical manga in your hands and adding it to your collection! ♡ But online manga is so convenient, especially when I want to binge read a whole series hehe (๑˃ᴗ˂)ﻭ

When it comes to manga, print and digital/webcomics have to be judged separately. If it has detailed paneling or big double-page spreads, the physical version gives you a better reading experience. But if it's a vertical-scroll comic, it's more comfortable to read online or on your phone.
 
I prefer both i love online reads because save enough money but sometimes I want physical copy incase online read gets nuked but since physical copy getting so expensive for us and ca it's hard to buy i remember buying Yuri manga my store sells it for $20 EACH thankfully read it loved it but never getting it's physical copy i just hope one day prices of physical copy even ones out of print won't cost someone whole mortgage
 
Online manhwa, manga. Since it is convenient for me to read them it that way. Especially when the lights are off in my room. But since I have an hoarding issue, I do have the thought of collecting them and reread them afterwards. But yeh, overall i would prefer to read in a mobile setting which is online.
 
As much as I love physical ones, I find digital more convenient. I have few physical volumes of Attack on Titan and it's mostly just for keeps, meanwhile in digital it's easier to read anything and I don't have to regret it if I don't like the story since it's online and i can just move on to the next manga without spending money
 
Online for me cause I'm broke. Other than that, online manga is just more convenient for me and easier to read since I don't have to be constantly flipping pages. I own a few manga sets that I barely even touched, the same goes with regular books
 
I really like physical books, and I've bought a lot of novels and manga, but I haven't read physical books in a long time... digital versions are just so much more convenient
 
I prefer physical manga and books simply because I have an easier time focusing on them and I do fall for the pretty bookshelf trap (though I'm also running out of space like a lot of people here haha).

I still read digitally though and I will usually go for digital for something I'm reading for the first time and want to try out, but I've been doing it less often these days because I'm trying to disconnect my reading time from my screen time. I do have an e-reader, but I only find it good enough for novels. The experience is very inconvenient for me with manga, so if I want to read one of my digital manga purchases, I have to use my phone instead which feels kind of counterproductive.
 
I prefer online manga as I think it is more easy to manage how far I have read. Physical manga just take up too much space...
 
I prefer physical manga, but over time I realize it takes up a lot of space. So I only really buy manga that I really really like. Otherwise I buy them digitally.
 
I usually read manga/webtoon/manhua online, more likely because of its practicality. But when there's a manga that I really like... I tend to buy them just to support the author. Even though I already read their manga, it's more like a trophy I like to keep on my bookshelf. I guess I like feeling proud over other people's good works too (⁠*⁠˘⁠︶⁠˘⁠*⁠)⁠.⁠｡⁠*⁠♡
 
I mostly buy manga online. However, at bookstores or lounges with all-you-can-read services, i decided which title to read by looking at the physical covers. There's a chance for serendipitous discoveries with physical works.
 
That's a good question. As I buy more and more books, there's hardly any space left at home to store them. Generally, I buy digital versions because they don't take up physical space at home and are more convenient—whether I'm reading on a PC, tablet, or phone. The only exception is if I really, really love a particular manga, or if it's a work by one of my favorite manga artists—in those cases, I'll definitely buy a physical copy to add to my collection. With things I really like, I prefer to be able to hold them in my hands and keep them close by.
 
i much much prefer reading physically!! i love turning the pages and manga paper smells soooo good, plus i feel some kind of sense of accomplisment when while reading a volume it gets visibly thicker (lol)
 
I started with online manga because it's easy, but once I bought my first physical volume, I understood! The cover, the pages... it's so satisfying! Now I save for physical!
