Probably yes, though I wouldn't go as far as to say Love of my life 🤣

Yes! I'll only be in my twenties in ten years, not much happening anyways, so for sure, it'll still be the love of my life....what has become of my life... xD

I chose maybe because it's becoming harder and harder to find manga that I actually enjoy year after year.

Just because someone's head was chopped off doesn't mean they're dead. That's just silly.

Yes becuse as long there are mangas that interest me I will read them, for me ther is no differents in books and older people read still books. Al what can change is maybe my taste...

For the sane people I am insane,for me the sane people are insane!

Yay! My idea was picked 😀

Maybe only because in 10 years or less I hope to have my career set already, and won't have much time to do pretty much anything. I know I'll read manga then but not as much as now of course, which isn't a lot really since I barely read nowadays..sigh...college 😔

But I must say I'm surprised at how many people have voted maybe so far. I thought yes would definitely have more votes...maybe it has to do with age.

Well, I wouldn't say it's the love of my life but I'd like to still be reading it.
Probably in smaller amounts, since by that time I hope to be busy cutting people for a living.

Books are one of the biggest loves of my life, and manga isn't that far from that... So yep...
The options aren't really suited for me... So "yes, but not as much".

Hrodulf and Bjornolfr, you will not be forgotten.

If I had a fantasy self, it'd be a tentacle monster.

Proly yes, not the love of my life, but one of my 3 main hobbies

Ah that may have a lot to do with it too 😀
I know I've read the same kind of manga like 5 times the only difference was probably the art. Some manga's nowadays are basically recycled versions of others mainly with shoujo...cliche... though I've recently noticed the same issue in some shounen titles too.

I picked maybe, because the future is so uncertain.

I agree 100%.

I usually get recommendations from people that are good, but I noticed that they're all manga that have been finished years ago. Most manga now are just the same stories with the same types of characters going through the same conflicts.

Chose 'Maybe' because I might be in graduate school or something. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to sneak in a couple chapters even then but school comes first. And as people have said, it's getting harder to find original manga, but at least for now, the stuff they're churning out isn't intolerable.

GAH! My plot doesn't bend that way!

Yeah they are! I read based on recommendation and like you most of the titles are from years ago. I find that even though the art isn't as great as now the story is good enough to wheel you in until the last page. I do read some of the ongoing titles that are from this year or just a few years ago but sometimes I forget that I'm reading them, yet somehow I can always remember the older titles I have read...

i dont know, maybe. If it's still interesting to me. I dont see why it wouldnt be but you never know. I may not have time for it in 10 years. Maybe i'll grow out of it. So, i picked Maybe.

Common sense just isn't that common

Voted yes, but I wouldn't go quite so far as to say manga's the love of my life. 🤣

In ten years I'll probably be reading less manga, but it's very very unlikely that I'll completely stop.
