Who else is going manga after today?

[Shadow-Link]

This week we have the season finale of Attack on Titan, Dr. Stone and Jujutsu Kaisen.

I've always been mostly an anime only person (except for Naruto and Bleach), but I feel I can't wait a year to know where these stories are going, especially with Attack of Titan ending next month it will be almost impossible to avoid spoilers.

So, who else is going manga starting today?

 

[Quinton]

Not me.

I've been #TeamManga for some time, now. Y'all are in for it.

 

[OtakuCoder]

The Shonen Jump subscription being dirt-cheap has meant I've been on that boat for the latter two (and MHA among others) for years.

 

[Lotus]

Doing manga for JJK, but I'm already a manga reader for the others lol

 

[Weiss]

I vastly prefer manga and the language and controlled pacing of sequential art, I just have a hard time justifying shelling out for individual volumes of a series when I can just sub to Crunchyroll or whatever. It gets to the point where I very rarely watch manga adaptations because I'm getting the same story but in a way I don't enjoy as much, but it's so cheap I can't justify getting the manga.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is the only compromise I make on this because despite the incredible quality of the manga, the anime is as incredible in its own as an adaptation, while I just think Mob Psycho 100's anime is flat out better than the manga.

 

[808s & Villainy]

It's wild that so many series have switched to this season format. I'm still used to my long running shonen never stopping and just being padded with filler content. I guess this (waiting between seasons) is the one downside of not just doing that

 

[LProtagonist]

I've been a manga only person for a while now, honestly. Some shows I'll watch but some I just stick with the manga.

 

[BasilZero]

Nope.

I dont like to read manga/comics - I prefer watching.

 

[Aloysius]

I used to watch a lot of anime, but now I just read Manga. In my experience it's been significantly better 90% of the time.

 

[Lord Azrael]

Always have been

 

[THIJJ]

Went manga on JJK last week. Couldn't wait anymore. I usually do both anyway, but was lttp as hell on JJK so decided to watch w/ anime for a long while for once. No ragrets

 

[julia crawford]

I ordered An Invitation From A Crab like two weeks ago now, wtf is going on uk give me my book

 

[DanarchyReigns]

Always a manga reader. Always get so much more, and less chances for disappointment for something unfinished, poorly made, or given a terrible Gecko Ending.

 

[mrmickfran]

AoT

I'm too hyped and that fanbase seems to be the most keen on spoiling shit so I might as well see for myself

 

[RochHoch]

I'm always on Team Manga.

 

[EdibleKnife]

I've been pretty much manga exclusive for the majority of what I enjoy since my early anime club days in college. Found manga to always be more convenient.

 

[Deleted member 16657]

Wow I didn't realize AoT and JJK were both ending this week... no doubt, manga threads are about to have an influx

 

[Shadow-Link]

I'm also planning to go manga for MHA after this season.

I've been that way for a bit more time efficient i do watch the boruto animation as it does contain Canon story as well as the New DQ Dai series but that is all.

Anime isn't a profitable business, it's just a medium used to sell the manga, light novels and licensing. It just doesn't make sense to make long running shows anymore

 

[killerrin]

I don't jump to Manga... I do Light Novels. And I usually pick up series I'm interested in after the first 4 episodes, which translates to a single volume so I don't have to reread much, or can more easily just skip what I've already seen.

 

[The Smoking Man]

I binged the remaining JJK after the last episode. Woof, what a ride.

 

[RROCKMAN]

Boku no hero anime onlys need to go manga S.T.A.T.

Things are BUMPIN' over here

 

[The Omega Man]

I went manga for Attack on Titan as soon the first season ended. Knowing there was more and I didn't have to wait years for answers was too good to pass on.
I've been a manga reader ever since, no regrets.

Doing the consistent weekly thing just straight up isn't as profitable as doing the seasonal format. Only few series can get away with it, and they are all classic franchises. It's also way more pressure on the animation team since they always have to be producing content leaving no time to take a break.

Easier to just book a 24 episode run.

 

[Saifu]

I told myself that if it's gonna take more than a year before this continues or there was no announcement for continuation at all, I'm gonna go with the manga.
But since it's gonna continue 9-12 months from now, I'll just painfully wait...

 

[Deleted member 19813]

I buy manga physically and digital for OOP stuff on Kindle. Manga is my main hobby. I interact with the manga community on Instagram daily.

 

[Chopchop]

That reminds me that I need to catch up on Dr. Stone manga. I dropped it on a cliffhanger lol.

 

[GasProblem]

Being in the EU, I've given up getting into manga. Everytime I want to try it the prices and licensing issues stop me. Oh well.

 

[Tace]

I was already a manga reader lol

 

[Ada]

Wait what, Dr stone season 2 is out? How did I miss this.

 

[Korigama]

Used to do so with Bleach, but fell off with that before that ended. Just Battle Angel/Gunnm for me at this point, and I haven't gotten back to that in quite some time.

[Deleted member 52442]

I don't watch or read dr stone but i'm manga for JJK and AoT

both are fucking RIDES

 

[sirap]

#TeamManga since 1996.

 

[Big One]

Bruh TeamManga is the only way dude.

 

[zero_suit]

TeamManga is the way. Join the winning side.

 

[Brazil]

I can't imagine not reading manga. I have hundreds upon hundreds of volumes (maybe thousands?). It's the best.

 

[dglavimans]

I started this year with my first manga after watching Tokyo Ghoul and have a box set coming end of the year for Demon Slayer!

But honestly with things where I am really a fan I want to experience it really.. AoT, Kaisen those moments I want to see the first time while animated and not reading

 

[PlayBee]

For AoT manga, the Humble Bundle got me Vol 1-26. Crunchyroll has chapters 115+? So I can buy Vol 27 and 28 on Amazon or something to be able to read everything?

 

[Remnants]

Been reading AoT since season 1 ended and I caught up on JJK very recently.

 

[DanarchyReigns]

Remember, manga is the only proper way to experience One Piece.

 

[andymcc]

already read Jujutsu Kaisen. it's great.

 

[Joule]

I'm reading up to where the anime left off. I do that for a few series.

 

[Midramble]

I rarely watch anime these days. Mostly manga

 

[Blackie]

Me! I recently switched over to manga everything for my needs. Currently reading 16 at the same time, half of which don't even have an anime version. Feels good :)

 

[wunsubdee]

I watch like 2 shows a year, been primarily manga for years now and also collect them, would recommend it to every anime only to atleast give it a try!

Started reading it during slow moments at work. Around chap 35 and its boring.

 

[Aaronrules380]

I've been team manga for years, and have recently ascended to a new plane in the last few years by reading a bunch of series in the original light novel when that's the first source material (of course, trying to stick to good series given that so many light novel series are pandering trash and light novel adaptions tend to get me wary when I hear about new anime)

I mean you still wait with the traditional format, it's just the wait is due to filler rather than nothing at all and the overall quality of production tends to dip because keeping a show ongoing week to week year round is really hard. The alternative is no filler but the pacing is slowed to a crawl like One Piece (and One Piece tends to have dense chapters as it is which is the only reason it can even manage that model in a form that is remotely bareable. I shudder at the thought of a 1 chapter to 1 episode pace in a series with slow pacing where not a lot happens in a single chapter like Bleach)
