I prefer realism, or at least the romance to be realistic, if not other aspects of the manga, such as action or fantasy. I like to be able to relate to the characters, and I prefer them to be normal.

i prefer realism, because i can relate more to the characters and they feel more human and i think that is very important for a story. Also if there is too much fantasy it is impossible for me to take seriously, i mean there can be some think that seem a bit out there and unlikely which is ok, but then there is a point when it just is to far out there and the story just loses my interest altogether and i don't care what happens to the characters anymore.

For me, the setting does not have to be realistic, but the characters have to act like real people or at least in a plausible way. If there are fantasy elements, I prefer them to be metaphorical or poetic so that the underlying message is still relevant to real life. Otherwise, I feel like I'm just reading nonsense.

I already get plenty of reality from real life.

When I read manga I'd rather have the fantasy.

Judging from what I like, realistic. I don't like fluffy 'that relationship could never happen in real life' stories.

But realistic relationships in fantastical situations is nice too.

I'd like more of thick, well thought-out fantastic and surreal-like stories.

Mainly fantastical, because it makes everything seem perfect. I have enough reality in my life, I don't need more from manga. ;_;

Fantasy, because it will make the storyline more interesting.
It's not like I don't dig realistic stuff, but just as krysalis said, I've seen a lot of them in real life

Fantasy, because we already have realism in the real world.

I like realistic stories. They make it possible for me to convince myself that what I'm reading had literary merit and isn't just escapist garbage that will waste my life away.

I don't care if it's realistic or not as long as I can laugh and cray with the characteres.
I think that even most of the romances considered realistic are not realistic
