This week's poll is from F_J. I realize that it'll depend on other factors (like how good the series is or personal recommendations from friends), but all things considered, does the series being incomplete and on hiatus impact your decisions?

For the few of you that make things, congrats! You guys are the true artists!
This week's poll is about Christmas gifts, which is nice because Christmas is this week! If you are giving some gifts, tell us more! I got a friend of mine a Funko Pop! figure for Sword Art Online. Someone else is getting a cutting board etched with some Game of Thrones references.

This week's fun little poll was from F_J. If I showed you a random volume of manga, could you determine the demographic and/or genre of the series?

TIL that Hitler was a painter
This week's poll was suggested by residentgrigo and inspired by what happened with WATSUKI Nobuhiro (author of Rurouni Kenshin) and people in Hollywood or politics.

Imagine being burdened as a baby with all this past knowledge...
This week's poll is an unusual one from F_J. He (or she?) mentions that there are many isekai series, of which many have the concept of rebirth. So if you were reborn, would you like to remember your past life? And if so, at what time of your new life would you prefer to remember your past life?

I should've included more options for more than 12 hours...
Looks like we have another poll about time. This time around, our member yuuki16 suggested that we ask about the longest time you've read manga without any breaks. For me, I think it was the time in high school where I spent an entire night trying to finish Death Note. I just couldn't put it down. I think I read it for 7 hours straight.

Recently I've been playing a lot of Destiny 2 on the PC.
This week's poll was suggested many years ago by our member YummiMookies. How long do you play video games on an average day? I realize some of you may only play during the weekends, so somehow average that out over a week.
