Why do you like to read manga?
I personally was hesitant initially as I had started with anime and I thought I will be bored reading manga. But my mindset changed completely when I started reading them.Manga has a very big world inside it. Not all mangas are made into animes. Infact a big portion of manga isn’t made into anime.There are some genres like horror, psychological thriller, mind games, mystery etc whose animes are rarely made and animes are mostly made on action mangas and comedy and romantic mangas and mangas of fantasy genre.I read a manga last year titled “ Liar Game .“ Believe me I hadn’t read anything so gripping and intriguing ever. Now no anime has been made on it but a South Korean T.V. Series is based on it.Mangas have color pages in them. And the Web toons and Manhwas ( South Korean) are fully colored. For eg: Relife is fully colored and its very good in all aspects and entertaining.There will be groups of people which will prefer anime over manga and then there will be groups of people which will follow manga over anime. Both has advantages as well as disadvantages. This debate can go on forever. But a person like me who has done both, I would like the anime lovers to read some manga as well and then decide for themselves. They will surely not be disappointed.
I want to start reading manga, where should I start?
So, I've been thinking about this for awhile and I decided that I wanted to start reading manga. I have never read them before but I've read stories on fanfiction so I know what yaoi and yuri is. I'm also watching some anime too. Here's a list: Anime I've finished watching(finished the series): 1. Lucky Star 2. Black Cat Anime I want to watch and/or have started: 1. Bleach 2. Fullmetal Alchemist 3. Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood 4. Inuyasha 5. Naruto What are some good mangas that I can read? I don't mind reading yaoi, it's yuri that I'm a little uneasy about. And where can I buy the manga? Thanks in advance!
Where can I read this Yaoi manga series?
Someone suggested that I should read "I'm Not Your Stepping Stone" By Shuiko Kano. However, I can't find it online. I tried looking for it on onemanga and mangafox, but I couldn't find it. Can anyone give me a link to read online?
Should I read the "Attack on Titan" manga or should I wait for the anime?
Since you're asking to read chapter 90, I'm assuming that you haven't read the previous chapters, otherwise you definitely wouldn't be asking that xDThe truth is, yes, you will. Sort of.Let me explain.Attack on Titan, till now, has just been an array of shocking events happening one after the another, without a proper explanation. Chapter 90 is no exception to that. After reading it, I was trying to understand what was happening, for the next 30 minutes, and then I gave up. Until chapter 91 came out. Then the shit got a little cleared up, and then for the next 30 minutes after reading 91, I was like :Holy shit I couldn't have imagined that, holy mother of god this can't be happening !And then when I started watching the season 2 going on right now, I was like :Damn it, so this shit is because of everything we got to know nowwwwwww ?!?!?!?Keep in mind, the anime right now, is where the manga was 3 to 4 years ago. The timing of the anime is a pain in the ass.People would say that I'm hyping it up too much, but trust me, the story as it is right now at 92 chapters, it has the potential to surpass Death Note. No kidding.The manga is on an amazing point of storyline from where it can become the best in class, or turn out to be a fucking waste all this time. If that doesn't arouse curiosity in you, no point reading it now. Just wait for it to finish and the anime to catch up ( you'll probably be dead by then).So, as another answer mentioned, there could be a thousand more chapters more to this manga, so either you could die without knowing the ending, waiting for the anime, or you could die in peace, knowing how it all happened.So TL fucking DR : Go read it from the start damn it, what are you waiting for xD ?
Should I read the manga after watching the anime?
It all depends on you and which manga you are reading. If you like the anime and can’t bother to wait for new season, go ahead and read it. You will also be immune to spoilers.In return, one day when the news came out a new sequel is green-lit, when watching it, you’ll notice three things:“Hey, they skipped this scenes. It’s very important!”“Hey, they add a new scenes. I don’t remember this thing happening in manga!”“Hey, the manga handle this scene better! Or vice versa.That’s all I can tell you now, so I’ll leave the judgement up to your discretion.
Should I read Naruto Manga or watch the anime?
Well its simple ask yourself this -Do I have the time to watch awesome anime with some quality BGM and an intriguing story, and am I ready to face a series of senseless fillers here and there throughout the series, am I interested in watching them talk and am I ready for a nearly 780 episodes of endless humour and fun?OrDo I wanna go all mainstream, do I want to appreciate the original artwork , the fun in flippin' pages so as to see what happens next, am I into supporting the author directly by appreciating the manga,am I intrigued in letting my imagination take over the characters voices and nature?Well if you can answer the first one positively go for AnimeManga if you prefer the second one.TQ!!
Why do some people read the manga and watch the anime?
It's not (technically) a manga (at first), but I think the premise remains, so I’ll use One-Punch Man as my example, because I love it just so much.In the beginning, there was a fun little side-project by some Japanese guy. A webcomic that looked absolutely amateur-ish.It's better than I could do but, by the standards I’m used to, it didn look great.That didn’t matter, though, because I liked it. I liked the jokes and the characters. Sure, some of the jokes were repeated, but a good joke is funny longer than its first telling.In fact, a lot of things are like that. Some people can watch a movie over a dozen times and still love it. Some people can read a single book more than two dozen times and still come back to it again (finished my 32nd read of the first PJO novel; yes, it's weird, but it helps my point).For the Fate series and connecting Nasuverse, I’ve read the original Visual Novel three times and watched two different anime adaptations. I knew what was going to happen, but I stuck around for the fifth time because I liked it.Because a good story is worth listening to a second time - a good movie, worth a second watch.And that's not even covering adaptational differences. The Studio Deen adaptation of Fate/Stay Night told (more-or-less) the same story as the Ufotable adaptation, but the animation style was different, characters had a slightly different visual style, and even though I knew what was coming, it felt completely different to watch moving characters compared to the still-images of a VN or manga, or seeing well-animated Ufotable characters compared to some of the less-than-stellar scenes done by Studio Deen.Between adaptational differences and a good story, that's at least two different reasons to watch the anime after reading the manga, and I’m sure there's more.Oh, and adaptations can cause some major dofferences, too. Just check the new version of the above image:That's the same artist as the anime, Yosuke Murata, compared to the first image’s artist ONE. Oh, and you should watch/read OPM if you haven already. I love that anime/manga/webcomic.
If I created a manga and published it, would you read it?
That would depend on a few things. I mean, of course, I have to be interested in it. All of the manga I’ve read fit into certain categories. If it’s not in those categories, I probably won’t read it. For example, if it’s a horror manga with an interesting plot, I’ll be more likely to read it. If it’s a romance that’s not unique or interesting in some way, I definitely wouldn’t read it. (Romance isn’t really my go-to genre but I will make exceptions…)The art style is a somewhat small factor. I’m actually pretty used to certain art styles already… The ones where the guys have long and somewhat weird looking bodies while still somehow managing to look pretty enough don’t bother me much. Whether or not it lacks color or always uses color doesn’t matter to me. The shading or whether or not it’s simplistic also doesn’t matter very much. And, in some cases, the art style is so interesting that it makes me want to read it.Also, I don’t even know if I’d be able to find it. There’s lots of manga out there. I’m kinda open minded though so I’m willing to read it or look into it if it seems interesting.
