So you have your food manga like Yakitate!! Japan. Then there's tons of other manga out there where there's a chapter where the character cooks a dish. For this poll suggested by our member Fansomedreams, have you ever tried to cook a dish similar to something featured in a manga series? Maybe it's super fancy like a cake, or perhaps it's as simple as sushi or a rice ball. Hot pot anyone?

It appears most of us have read some webcomics (although I haven't). Perhaps I should start.
Webcomics have been a rising thing in the last year or so (in terms of scanlations), so our member Hellsayer is wondering what your opinion is on them.

Maybe I should've made a forum topic for this one... There was a lot going on in the News comments
This week's poll is by MewMan. I'm really surprised that we never did an honorifics poll in the 3-ish years we've been doing weekly site polls. No discussion forum for this one.

At least most of us give it a chance. I guess if we extend this to people, we tend to give people the benefit of the doubt and a second chance?
This poll on your manga reading habits is from RedBird. This covers the situation where you read the 1st chapter of a series and don't like it. Now what do you do?...

I feel like changing up the poll this time around. This amusing poll was suggested by Binturong (with the last choice being my little addition). No serious intent here. No forum thread either.

"-Thirdly, the unfinished/unpublished titles. What is going to happen to them? To be honest: it's out of our hands now. The licenses belong to the original Japanese creators, so it's up to them what to do with the series. They might pull the plug on some series, or find another publishing company to complete their series. The best thing that you can do is keep supporting the original creators, hoping that they'll here your cries like we did so many years ago."

Similar to the last poll, but now for game adaptations! This was suggested by our member Hellsayer (but the choices were edited by me).

No surprise, but it seems that in general, people have a negative reaction to what Hollywood adapts.
