  Before I used to only read manga, but recently I read LNs more in terms of if they are a LN with a manga adaptation. But I buy manga versions of stuff like So I'm a Spider, So What, That Time I got Reincarnated as a Slime, or Infinite Dendrogram to show support, and for the most part I also like the way they are handled. It's also nice when manga adaptations like those three I mentioned get short extra stories written by the original authors added in.

  I'm not entirely sure, but I've heard, that the sequel isn't selling as good as the prequel (it's popularity is not that high by comparison). It will probably not be as long as Vampire Knight, maybe a few volumes less, but I can't guarantee it.

  Does anyone here buy/collect manga raws of certain series (I don‘t mean light novel adaptions)?

  Q

  I have the whole set of boku girl. This series was so hilarious I needed to read it but there was no offical translation in a language I knew. With my broken japanese and the furigana i was ably to read a chapter in like 30 minutes and i did it until the end. Man I hate my kanji dictonary xD

  When people say that the anime is based off the manga, it's just the art style. The story itself is based from the LN.

  Here we go again. It’s that time of the month. All I want from Seven Seas is more Ghost Ship and I’ll be happy. The more thicc boobs, butts, and thighs, the better.

  @serah A few years ago, I spoke with a woman from Viz Media at a convention in Chicago. She commented that I should just about ready to get involved in cosplay... "No, I may be an otaku, but I'm not that far along." "If you're already importing stuff directly from Japan, you are." I keep a web page so that I can remember what I've already bought, to avoid things like ordering 2 copies of Wolf & Parchment V4 (it didn't help). It has 139 entries for manga. Looking it over, there are a bunch of them that fit the "liked it a lot", like TLR, Dragonar Academy, Ani-Imo, Hentai Prince, Ai Yori Aoshi, the Kuroneko arc of Oreimo, Sumomomo Momomo, So, I Can't Play H!, Nisekoi (even though parts of it were irritating to wade through). I got about half way through Ranma 1/2 so far, but stalled out on it. The ones I currently read as soon as the new volumes arrive: We Never Learn Shomin Sample Pandora in the Crimson Shell Toradora! Yuuna and the Haunted Hot Springs Ones I'd really like to see in English, which I've been buying in Japanese include Tonikaku Kawaii トニカクカワイイ Henjyo - Hen na Jyoshi Kousei Amaguri Senko Onii-chan is Done For お兄ちゃんはおしまい Okusama ga Seito Kaichou So I like romcom more than mecha...

  @wellwisher Haha, both manga adaptions are based on the light novel, if you are asking this. @Claire-Lilly I personally like the manga adaption 'Kusuriya no Hitorigoto' out of the two definitely the most. The art style of the artist is incredibly lovely and beautiful! But the other manga adaption is good too, just the art style absolutely isn't to my liking.

  @legitpancake Manga Plus being worldwide is a huge plus for me, it's nice to have an option if you live outside of the US. I read a lot of manga so it will come in handy for me.

  @bromit said in Best overall manga reader app, for Android tablet?: Are you looking for online or offline after downloading. If you have manga downloaded then try challenger viewer. And for light novel there are many app like ReadEra. If anyone know better app then tell me. As i never tried to look for another better app. Thanks for the suggestion. It seems capable alright ...except it needs 'identity' and 'contacts' on your phone/tablet which likely means using the app results you're going to be on the receiving end of targeted advertisement later in one form of other. And that's the more benign side of it. Nope. It might be same case as with M+H that it needs those should you use google drive. I'm going to down it to my old phone and check if I can turn those of in settings/app. If I can it might be a reasonable viewer. Edit; It can be turned off, just gives a warning it might not work properly without access to accounts. But so far no errors, I'll try on the tablet later once I have it. For comparison, here's the permissions for comicat and takeuchi; Tachiyomi android.permission.INTERNET android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE android.permission.WAKE_LOCK android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED android.permission.REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES com.android.launcher.permission.INSTALL_SHORTCUT android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE Comicat read the contents of your USB storage modify or delete the contents of your USB storage read the contents of your USB storage modify or delete the contents of your USB storage view network connections full network access set wallpaper modify system settings ...which all seem pretty reasonable for a reader. (Granted, google play page for Moon+Reader (for visual novels) also shows those two, but the actual app only lists 'Get_Accounts' which is off by default unless you want the app to work with google drive, and "WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" which it needs...) Edit3; For manga viewer, I opted for both comicat and challenger comic viewer, time will tell which will prevail. Tried tachiyomi too, but couldn't solve how to add local manga, and can't seem to get it working with the sd card... For novel reading, the obvious choice was Moon+Reader.

  @drone205 said in What are you reading for Manga?: Some manga I got recently Tokyo Mew Mew Himouto Umaru Chan New Game Teasing Master Takagi-san Been getting a few of these from the library / plan to rent more. Mewmew Omnibus were a bit overwhelming though. Really have to dig in with that series someday. New Game was New Game. Nothing too crazy in volume 1 that was radically different from the show (some jokes hit better here or there). I'll be continuing that. Right now, I'm reading: After Hours Gantz Gantz G Bride was a Boy Machi Maho (very fun, recommended) Astra Lost In Space V2 + 3 Kaguya-sama 2+3 Kanna's Daily Life ...I've for more sitting here, but those are priority. xC
