Yup i do, its nice to have a mix of Anime & Manga, i have a smallish collection tho compaird to my Anime collection. Im planning on getting more Manga tho ^_^ as i dont read enough of it. I did have the Shaman King collection in Manga but sold it on Ebay for £45 :3 twas from Hong Kong so you couldent read it anywayz.

I really love Manga as it adds more detail to a story, whereas anime tends to fit a bit too much into one episode. I also looooove the art and layout of Manga, it gives you something pretty to look at and a good story to get stuck in, so yeah, I do read Manga :wink: hehe

I do read a lot of manga, but I guess I collect it more. My unread collection is stupidly vast. I tend to prefer getting to grips with a series of manga all at once, as the release dates between volumes mean I start to lose track of what was happening more (its easier to catch up with the anime).
The manga genres I prefer tend to be less eclectic than my anime tastes, which are pretty wide ranging. Basically, I like action & comedy manga, and good, gripping, very involved stories.
There is one thing I have noted on the various UK-centric forums: its a kind of Tokyopop tunnel-vision, where most manga being discussed are tokyopop titles. Its an availability thing I know, but too many great titles are overlooked.

Yes, I do read manga
The proportion of my manga reading and anime watching is actually 15:1
I'm more of a Manga person because in my opinion, they are alot better then Anime's in terms of story and artwork. Anime's are great too, but sometimes they lack in story as some series can be abit rushed such as Mahoromatic and Fruits Basket. Also some Animes can be hard to understand unless you read the Manga first e.g. The Rayearth OVA is difficult to understand unless you have read the Magic Knight Rayearth Mangas.

Yeah, I like to read manga. I think, most the time, they are better than the anime (maybe because the anime is based on the manga) but sometimes the anime can be better. Either way, I read manga and watch anime but I prefer mangas.
