my three most favorite mangas take place in terrifying worlds.

Berserk, Gantz, and Akira. None of those contain a world that is less than horrific.

My current favourite character is Greed from FMAB. While the world is intriguing to watch as an anime, I don't think i would stay content in that world for very long considering the simple lifestyle and older technology. I also doubt I would have the ability to become an alchemist myself; you would have to be gifted with intelligence, talent and a continual diligence. It's that 1% of the population that can become alchemist and I would be in the latter 99%.

Additionally, I'm not completely detached from this world. Therefore, I would miss my family and friends. Perhaps I wouldn't mind being born into the world of FMAB, but leaving my current world in favour of a completely strange place by MYSELF...no.

Unfortunately, the genre of manga I like the most is Seinen...and its worlds are rather dark and horrific. With my current level of fighting abilities, I doubt I would survive long. On the other hand, shounen worlds like Naruto, Pokemon and One Piece seems to be interesting places to visit if it were only temporary (I mean who hasn't wanted a pokemon before?).

Probably not. I'm too indecisive to decide on a favorite character, but my favorite manga are mostly yaoi. So unless I was transformed into a gay man, it would be pretty pointless to go their world.

My other favorite manga are slice of life (shojo and josei), so I'd basically be living the same kind of life if I were transferred to one of those worlds.

Actually, no. The poll doesn't imply that. Its a Freudian slip.

People read the poll question as "Go into his/her world in the series" and assume 'with roughly the same situation/strokes of luck/powers/abilities/level as him/her'.

my current favorite manga character is Guts from Berserk, I never want to visit that world, not ever. Besides even if I did, I would probably never make it back alive.

I may actually do it depending on what sort of reality the character lives in. I'm not saying my current life is at all bad--I'm actually very happy, but I'm always open to opportunities that could make me even happier (and what could be happier than a fantasy?).

My main fear in this "reality transfer" is that the new reality could then be limited by the author's imagination. And really, science shows time and time again that the current reality we live in is less predictable than any human could possibly imagine, and I wouldn't want to lose that.

depends would i get the strength and/or status to survive in siad world?

My favourite characters are all from pretty dark seinen worlds ... so no, thank you, I am not suicidal. But meeting my favs in real life would be pretty amazing

Yes.

As crappy as my life can be, I would never leave my family. I answered no in a heartbeat.

seriously? yes is winning?

Looks like manga is a form of escapism for most people here.

HELL NO

other than most of my fav chars coming from dystopias or a "world/universe" with some real real crazy shit going on...... most of those worlds would REALLY be risky and put me through MUUUUCH more hardship.... even those fun looking worlds with chars and plots i dont like as much will definitely have some problems that would be devastating forget the unforeseen problems from not putting into context wht other problems MIGHT appear.

ONE EXCEPTION THO: YOTSUBA from yotsubato.... tht place is nice and slick...and almost exactly like reality..... plus... the adorable little Yotsuba is not to be denied.....not to ention the adventures with Duralumin

Oh yeah, I would, real life is way too boring for me.

Even if I just die the moment I get there, I'd go anyway.

Well it didn't say the opposite either. I'm sure in that world you'll be supplied with the same plot armor a lot of the cast has.
