This poll from silent isn't worded very well, and I bet people are gonna complain about the choices, but just choose the best fitting option. Even better, state exactly what you mean in the comments below or on our forum.

Not quite our most popular poll, but definitely an overwhelmingly one-sided response
Mangascreener has their 10th anniversary today. Not many scanlation groups can make that claim, so good for them to stick around for so long!
I'm really surprised that we never used this as a poll before. Well, our member ChocoKun finally suggested it. No forum thread this time.

Question: Ever tried to create the food shown in manga?
Choices:
Yes, and I was pleased with the results! - votes: 1907 (20.1%)
Yes, but never again. I'm not the chef type - votes: 795 (8.4%)
Nope, I'd rather have someone else cook my food - votes: 4790 (50.5%)
No, but my manga tends to feature knuckle sandwiches - votes: 1997 (21%)
There were 9489 total votes.
The poll ended: July 23rd 2011
Apparently most of us don't cook often. I have to admit that I like the "knuckle sandwich" option though...
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.

Opinions are all over the place on this one...
This poll was suggested by our member Mini_Twilight. I don't feel there's much to talk about it, as it's pretty straightforward...

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?...

A lot of us like to be evil
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.
