The idea for this week's poll was suggested by Helipilot, but I re-used an old poll from a decade ago to see if sentiment has changed. Has manga gotten worse? Or better? For the purposes of this, let's just go with manga and not include manhwa or manhua.

jacob66 suggested that we ask about surgeries. I recently had to get my wisdom teeth pulled out. How about you guys?

Scanlators, take note
This week's poll, suggested by Afiaki, is a follow-up with last week's poll. In the case where the publisher released the original chapter in parts, how should the scanlator handle that? Delay or just follow along with it?

Looks like people really don't like it, including myself
This week's poll was suggested by Amplify1. Got any opinions on groups that release chapters in parts? I understand that sometimes the raw is broken up that way but disregard that for the sake of this poll.

In a few days is the infamous April Fools' Day (April 1st). At MU, we [color=red]WILL NOT[/color] tolerate any fake/joke releases being reported/announced to us (on any day, not just April Fools). If we, by accident, allow a fake release to get through, please report the mistake to us (either via a Change Request form, through the forum, post a comment in this news post, send me a private message, or you can email me at lambchopsil@mangaupdates.com if you are not a registered member here).
Thank you for considering our request to remain as accurate as possible for our members.
Afiaki suggested we do a sub vs dub poll, which we haven't done in 10 years. Sub won before, and I'm pretty sure it will again!

This week's poll was suggested by jacob66. Do you think people would take less care of their body if it could be replaced? I feel like there's not much debate about this one...

Tabletop Simulator is great. Lets you play so many board games
Do you play board games? I used to play a lot, from light (Sushi Go) to heavy games (Gloomhaven), although I'm playing more video games right now.
