Our member 8-3 is wondering about the last time you read manga, manhua, or manhwa in physical form. Probably been more than a decade for me...

I'm surprised that more people were raised Catholic than agnostic/atheist combined

Our member juliarox214 is interested in what religion you grew up with. The actual poll options were copied from some other online poll I found

Do we have more gamers than shounen sport manga readers? I'll admit that I've never played a Prince of Persia game...

This week's fun poll suggested by JediMando20ray is word association with "Prince of ___". You choose!

Experiencing the same story twice? I don't think I have time for that anymore...

This week's poll was suggested by icassop. It deals with whether you'd watch anime or read the manga. Lots of options here!

I personally agree with the majority here

This week's poll was suggested by MelonnBreadd. We're not talking about story arcs here. Some series (in my experience, often times the slice of life series) feature episodic chapters. Imagine TV shows with the monster of the week (like Star Trek: The Next Generation). Then compare that a series that has a clear plot that keeps moving forward (like Star Trek: Picard). Now apply those ideas to manga, manhua, or manhwa. Which do you prefer?

It's interesting how most of the written comments preferred single page, but the anonymous masses prefer long strip

This week's poll was suggested by Afiaki. You have a preferred reading layout? I like how MangaDex allows you so many options for your reading experience.

Start them young and they'll love it forever

This week's poll is a repeat, suggested by Erratic-Hopper. We haven't done this in a decade, but I'm assuming the results will be pretty similar
