I do, but it's only when people post up spoilers for upcoming chapters.

And when it's H-Manga.

What he said. It's usually an action series so I can make out the gist of what's happening despite a low level knowledge of the Japanese language.

I check out raws of new series to see if it's worth looking at when scanlations come out.

No, there's no point. I only read RAW doujinshi.

Sure. After waiting a month or two between releases - and only for the series that I'm desperate for. Luckily I can find the chinese versions and read those, but if not I'll resort to the raws. (But then I'll get a little frustrated and end up searching for the chapter summaries too...)

No! i will only look at the art for reference; that's about it. the is no point in trying to make sense out of it if i don't understand it.

Yes, but only for hentai. It suffers less from the loss of text than other genres

"It is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science."

Yes, I'm incredibly guilty of doing that, since I wanted to buy raw Japanese manga so I can find things that are are not scanlated yet. A lot of shoujo from the 70's and 80's aren't scanlated, so I buy those.

I read so much mangas, I'm too lazy to watch anime! 😛 😛 😛

LOL. 🤣

no.. manga will lose some of its flavors!!

oh please do click this!

GUESS WHO??

No, never.

It's different from an anime, I can probably watch anime and understand a bit of what's going on because it's moving and I can recognize some words/phrases.

But with manga...it's much harder for me to comprehend what's going on unless it's some cliche shoujo manga.

Oh I do it for a number of reasons that you've listed in your options, but usually it's for the cliffhanger situations, especially when I know that the scanlation isn't going to be out for a while. If I know it's going to come out within the next week I'll wait.
I've also done it with the completed series because the scans are taking too long and I wanted to see what the hell happens, even if I don't read japanese. The pictures tell me enough for me to get what the hell is going on 🤣
There are only three series that I follow with the raws religiously because I actually can't wait to see what happens next I enjoy them that much.

Yes, even if the manga has never been scanlated before. I can't fluently read Japanese, but I can understand parts and pieces.

I chose the second option. As long as i have read one translated chapter i can "read" the next 20 volumes raw. I have no patience to wait for scans especially if the scans are waaaayyyy behind the raw.

No 🤣
That would just be frustrating.

Yup, I read raws for spoilers. Such shame. ;______;
And I can't even understand anything besides looking at pretty pictures.
