From a marketing perspective, the most popular option kinda sucks... Can't build that hype!

The popular option in previous poll "Preferred publication frequency" is "Weekly" with 51%. How did u miss that?

I have no clue how I misread that... Well, I've corrected it!

I'm not surprised 'Weekly' was the most popular option for last week. People want their manga as soon as is possible!

(Even though the quote above is from Hamlet, I first saw it in a Final Fantasy Versus XIII trailer on YouTube ^o^)

Underemployed.

Well I am a full-time software developer. (Or as my official title goes "C++ engineer", though I do not only c++, but bash, node js and perl too (and know some other languages, but I haven't used those at work)

What about "unable to work"?

I'm a full time post grad student and part time private English teacher.

13 manga managed to sell above 100 mil. volumes and at least 9 of those ran weekly for the whole duration, so none should be surprised by the outcome. Especially if you consider that the majority should have been leechers only. I could now bitch about the conditions inside the manga industry (the anime slaves have it even worse) but what would it change?
Bi-weekly was my runner up and DC announced this week to double down on that publication form to regain market share. US comics read differently due to the denser writing and the usually higher production values, if we forget the glut of fill in art in recent years, so i can´t see it being sustainable for titles as Cyborg. I didn´t even care to keep up with Vic after 2 decent monthly issues and let´s not even think about the money. Manga on the other hand are (usually) dirt cheap in Japan or even Germany but not in the US. Eh.

The interest in a Netflix model is also shared by me but digital publication is the way to go here and the creators and publishers would forgo a steady revenue source during the creation process. A risky gamble but the printed Habibi was in development from 2004 to 2011, with a length of 670+ pages, and it came out to universal acclaim. It can thus be done but Habibi is an independent comic and established mangaka aren´t known for perusing that road for too long. Traditional print is dying though and The Times They Are A-Changin' so who knows.

I am a Full-time employee but i plan on becoming a university student in the near future to level up in my profession. I also won´t stay a full time employee for my whole life and am already saving up for an early retirement. Being unemployed was my favorite profession so far. Ah, German Social Insurance! We'll meet again, Don't know where, don't know when...

Student, no other job.

I sometimes do freelance(mostly tech related stuff), but, I wouldn't call it part time either. As it's not permanent, it depends on my mood, availability of job and type of the job. And it should be something that I find interesting. I'm lazy. Freeloading on my parents, like most of the Students. Basically, I'm not much of a great guy.

You should have added a Management option, because technically Management are not employees.

This is my situation as well. Trust me, I want to work or go back to school, but my health thinks otherwise.
And I just finished university to became a RN. How unlucky.

I think this would fall under "unemployed and not looking for work". There are various reasons for being unemployed, like health issues, having to take care of a family member, being a homemaker, etc.

I'm currently employed full-time, but in a couple of months I'll be a student at a language school and (hopefully) working part-time.

Unemployed and not looking for work because ... homemaker and mother!
