This week's poll is from our member icassop. Do you react audibly to the manga that you read? I think I'll give a "wow" or "omg" every once in a while, but most of the time I'm pretty quiet when reading.
You can submit poll ideas here (and try to keep them manga/anime-related)

Previous Poll Results:
Question: Over the years, the average scanlation quality has...
Choices:
Improved significantly - votes: 4884 (47.9%)
Improved slightly - votes: 3063 (30.1%)
Stayed about the same - votes: 1668 (16.4%)
Dropped slightly - votes: 413 (4.1%)
Dropped significantly - votes: 162 (1.6%)
There were 10190 total votes.
The poll ended: August 30th 2013
In my opinion, editing and scan quality has gotten much better. Translations in general have gotten better. However, proofreading remains a problem for many groups.

I never gasp, squeal, curse, etc. when read manga, but I did quietly laugh and cry from time to time.

I chose Always.
If a manga is good I make all sorts of reactions and sometimes it creeps out people who are in the same room.

"wow"
"seriously"
"you've gotta be kidding"
"no way"
Pretty much the only things I say (mouth), in order of frequency.

Only if it's a manga I really like. If I can really get into the plot, I show all kinds of reactions. Though I do hold back when I'm not alone

The only thing I do is laugh from time to time when it is a comedy.

No, unless I laugh.
Or cry.....
I'm not especially prone to making noises of any kind, other than that.

I do squeal and curse, but I don't 'gasp'.
I do sometimes cry and laugh too.
But all the reactions that I make, I try to keep them silent, unless i'm alone in the room, which is rare.
The only thing I do out loud is laugh

i'm a very expressive person so i made all sorts of noise when i'm reading manga, books, watching tv, listening to radio, etc. i don't care about other people, i'm known to laugh out loud in public places while i'm reading books. when i'm very excited with a scene in a tv, i like to jump out of the couch and run around the room, i'm just too hype up.
i got reprimanded a lot, but i easily fall into the characters' emotions since i don't have that much opportunity to feel and express it IRL.

Other than laughing every now and then, no.

I've for sure gasped a few times here and there but other then that and the occasional chuckle I'm pretty quiet. I don't think I ever say words and definitely never squeal.
