I read what is available at the moment, be it just one chapter or volumes.

as they come out. although sometimes i have to reread previous chapters for it to make sense

Like most others have said, it depends. If it's something I really like, I read it by the chapter. If it's something I'm less enthusiastic about, I wait for a volume to be done to read it.

Weekly/whenever it get's updated.

For something like UxU though... I have to read it by volume by volume it's just way too good.

Most of the new manga's I pick up though are already in volume by volume so it's kinda awesome!

I read by chapter. I can't resist waiting until each volume or series is complete. D= If so then it would be a long suffering journey. XD
I can't resist wanting to read each new chapter released.

Lol. I just noticed that most of us don't have enough patience. XD

Chapter by chapter for sure. I read them when they're released

For some very slow releases i actually resort to raws to get a general gist. I do that for freezing because the scans are so slow and I want to know what happens

If I waited until a whole volume was released I think I would die of suspence, especially if I'm really into it

chapter by chapter, like most people who voted. Though I honestly prefer reading a series all at once or in large bursts.

I mostly do so by volume now, though there are a few exceptions where I read them by chapter.

I tend to read it right after it comes out.

But sometimes I get lazy, so it ends up accumulating to volumes by the time I get around to reading it.

i do all three, depending on the status and the speed of scanlation. mainly chapter by chapter, but prefers reading it in a batch.

ongoing - i'd read all available chaps and then read each new chp as it coems out.
complete - all at once
if its ongoing but there's only a few chps out, i'd wait for more before starting.
and if scanlation is slow, i'd wait for more before continuing.

or whenever im not busy or lazy

more frequently by chapter, but there is some serie that i read by volume or wait until they are finished ( most of them is serie i already see the raw )

I am an individual who requires instant gratification; therefore, I intentionally search for series that are complete. I have been unfortunate in the past to stumble upon series that were / are still on-going (i.e., Naruto or 1/2の林檎) and I learned my lesson the hard way after I got into Ragnarok (Myung-Jin Lee) when it first came out. If you don't know the story, he decided to (indefinitely) put the manga on hold to create his online world of Ragnarok--jerk! (Now I have 10 books of a story that does not end...what a waste of space!)

It is the most painful thing for me to have to wait for the next release--Naruto is not bad since they release each week, but for series like Half an Apple, I have to wait 3 freaking months, and it pisses me off.

I also refuse to buy anime / manga in pieces (or in English for that matter). I will wait for box sets and the graphic novels to come out before I spend my money.

Usually I only start manga that is completely scanlated, I've already got to much stuff on my reading and hold list. And I hate waiting for releases, because then I have to re-read the story every time there is a release to remember what's going on. So I chose the third option.

If I've started something that is not completely scanlated I usually wait for 2-3 chapters of releases, instead of reading every chapter release. Of course there are always acceptations, and some series I adore so much that I can't wait for 2-3 chapters to collect.

1/3 first option
1/3 second option
1/3 third option

i guess i'm not going to vote this time =P

At best, I would rather wait for a manga to be completed and then read it in one block.
