New Poll - Unrelated Series Oneshots
This week's poll was suggested by juliarox214. You know how some series have a oneshot at the end of the volume that are totally unrelated to the main series itself? They might have unique characters, or it's just a previously published oneshot that they're packaging in this volume. What's your feeling about those?

I just finished watching the HBO Chernobyl show. If they hadn't gotten the divers to open the sluice gates to pump out the water, that would've been crazy...

No option for "no preference"/"don't particularly"?

Ditto on this.

Yes, even if these are usually of middling quality. It´s interesting to read how an author started, as these tend to be earlier or debut works. Or even better, the original pilot chapters. Kenshin had 2 of those. Stuffing a volume with random crap to get to 180 or 200 pages sucks on the other hand.

I voted No for this reason. I was thinking about Manga I've bought where there's only around 130 pages of the main story and then there is a sub-par oneshot added in at the end to reach the minimum page count. It feels like being ripped off. If it's at least related to the story somehow (prequel/side characters) or there's already 180 pages of the main title, I don't mind the oneshots.

I just hate not knowing that the oneshot is unrelated to the series. A lot of times I've read manga and think I have one more chapter left only to be disappointed that the chapter is completely unrelated to the original story.

I read a lot of oneshots anyway... If I finished the series I probably like authors storytelling, so might as well read that oneshot...
» redlinks on June 23rd, 2019, 10:13pm
I don't mind reading them. Though usually I'll read them after I've read the entire main series.

Where's my "sometimes" option?
» hkanz on June 24th, 2019, 8:07pm
As a general rule if I like a series enough to read it I would be open to reading other stories from that mangaka, so sure, I like them.
