I choose the manga by genre and description. If it's shoujo and if it has romance, comedy, anything, no matter what the demographic is in, I'll read it.

probably more random then anything....i'm mad picky when it comes to manga, so i figure out what type or genre manga i wanna read....then i try 10 random mangas of that genre, then i usually drop like 7-9 after the 1st volume, and end up choosing 1-3 of the 10

Most of the time I pick by description. Genre only comes into play for me when it has yaoi.. Which is a straight no for me. Even if it sounds good.

Artwork. Artwork is by far the determining factor for me.
If it sucks, 98% chance I will never read it; if it's good, 80% chance I will read it sometime.
Shame shame, you didn't include it as a choice.
Second most important is genre.

I usually choose mine randomly. The other way I choose manga is if I like a certain manga that I'm currently reading/finished, and I find out the mangaka has more of them.

Typically by genre and then description. I've gotten a few recommendations, but I usually give them.

rating is just a plus, not needed

Most of my Mangas I read is based on the genre, story, and Mangaka's art style.

The thread "Im Looking for..." really helps me to find a good series recommendations so much.

Description + Art...
Genre is totally irrelevant to me...
...
OK, not totally. I don't like Yaoi, and lolicon/shotacon and stuff...

By genre then description. Occasionally, Mangaka will add a series to my reading list that the description wouldn't have put there, but not terribly often.
