How should Chinese names in Japanese manga be translated?
-Leave them as their Japanese pronunciations, just like the author did
-Change them into their proper Chinese pronunciations for authenticity
-Change them into their proper Chinese pronunciations only if the story takes place in China
Context of this poll: There are lots of anime & manga written by Japanese authors that take place in China, or have characters who are ethnically Chinese. In the original Japanese releases, these Chinese names are usually pronounced in "Japanese."
For example, the name "玉玲" is pronounced "Gyokurei" in Japanese. In Chinese, it's pronounced "Yu Ling". Depending on who's doing the (English/French/Spanish/etc.) translation, the resulting romaji may differ. I've personally seen translated manga where Chinese names were converted to Chinese, and I've even seen manga where the translator chose to stick with the author's preferences; it really can go both ways.
Audiovisual mediums (anime, movies, etc.) can make subtitling a challenge, but seeing as manga is purely a visual medium, they tend to have less grey area, often leading to an all-or-nothing situation.

Which came first: your interest in manga or your interest in anime?
- I became interested in manga first, then I moved on to anime
- I became interested in anime first, then I discovered manga
- I became interested in both anime and manga at around the same time
- Other: J-drama, video games, etc. made me discover anime/manga.
For fun:
You discover a fully scanlated/completed manga that's around 6 volumes long. But how long will it take you to actually complete the series?
- I'll speed through the series, and complete it in a day
- I'll read rather quickly, at about a volume or so a day.
- I'll want to absorb everything I read. It's probably going to take me a month or more to finish.
- I always get preoccupied with other manga, and it'll probably take a year or more to finish.

W- What's this feeling...
- A new power
- Love
- Happiness
- *tears fall*
- Jealousy
- Oppai
I mean.. it's countless how much they say them for these same feelings.
And some even predict the future "I have a bad feeling.." the flag of someone's death lol
But wasn't sure to add this or not
"- Something bad's gonna happen"

Do you collect or purchase manga/anime related merchandise?
And then the answer choices could include some specific types (cosplay, figurines, pop vinyls, etc). If you choose this poll, feel free to edit the question as you'd like.
