as much as it get's flamed, naruto
What do you like about it? (e.g. plot, artwork, script, character)
plot-( i like how initially the mangaka set a universe where there were rules and boundaries on the interactions and ppl's moves, so that there couldn't be fights where he would pull something out of nowhere like " oh he developed a new super charge 4!!!gasp!!' )
What do you look for in a comic/manga? (e.g. plot, artwork, script, character) plot(and the whole idea/universe behind the series)

Name one of your favourite comics/manga? (Any one but please just one) Homunculus
What do you like about it? (e.g. plot, artwork, script, character) The plot and the script. Artwork is original, too, and the characters seem to be very realistic.
What do you look for in a comic/manga? (e.g. plot, artwork, script, character) Mostly the plot. If it's not interesting/attention catching, I won't read it, unless the art is very good. But plot is the main thing I'm looking for.
Have you ever read a comic/manga just because one thing appealed to you? (e.g. plot, artwork, script, character) Yes, I have.
Do you prefer black and white or colour pages? Black and white, full colour pages confuse me a bit since I'm used to b&w
MANGA: Do you prefer reading manga in its original layout? Yes, defnitely. I'm so used to it that sometimes I confuse and start reading normal comics the way that manga is read.
Anything else you would like to say? *Good luck with your thesis 😁 *

-Plot and the whole assumption of the main character and art also it makes unbelievable atmosphere while reading.
-Mainly I'm looking for a good plot, although art is almost the same important.

Monster
What do you like about it? (e.g. plot, artwork, script, character)
Its amazingly elaborate plot, insight and commentary on human nature, and the interesting characters.
What do you look for in a comic/manga? (e.g. plot, artwork, script, character)
It depends on my mood. My favorites are typically those in the psychological genre that examine human nature, or at least make interesting statements about the world in some way. When I'm exhausted and just want to relax a bit, I like nonsense comedies like Hayate or Zetsubou Sensei.
Have you ever read a comic/manga just because one thing appealed to you? (e.g. plot, artwork, script, character)
Naturally. Usually I end up not liking them that much though.
Do you prefer black and white or colour pages?
Black and white. Color is neat and all, but I think it actually takes away from the realism a bit, if that makes sense.
MANGA: Do you prefer reading manga in its original layout?
By far. The artist envisioned it in a certain format, it's disrespectful to the work to reformat it.
Anything else you would like to say?
Not really. Although I just said something, didn't I?

What do you like about it? the emotions the characters feel are real. plus the plot is interesting and deals with many subjects, not just love. and I like the characters.
What do you look for in a comic/manga? my favorite type of manga is the one where the girl & boy are in high school & fall in love. I'm a sucker for corny stuff. XD
Have you ever read a comic/manga just because one thing appealed to you? yep.. a lot of times I read crappy shoujo manga just because it's corny and romantic even if the characters are totally unreal.
Do you prefer black and white or colour pages? no difference. but I guess I'm used to black & white, so I'd probably be more likely to read that.
MANGA: Do you prefer reading manga in its original layout? YES. I can't stand manga that reads the western way!!

Favourite Manga:
Erm. I think that would be Bara No Tameni?
What I like about that manga:
The Plot is very original I think. The protagonists are very lovely, you can feel, what they are going through.
What do I look for in a manga:
A good plot.
But if there isn't any romance, I might get bored if the plot is so-so.
I tend to read love-stories 😀 .
Black and white or colour?:
I often just surf and suddenly a manga, that is highly recommended, appears and then I begin to show interest in that manga and read it.
(I dunno if I did interpret that question right....so pls don't mind if my answer is weird)
Black and white or colour?:
I prefer black and white.
But some colour pages are also welcome.
Do I prefer the original manga layout:
Yes I do.
Anything else?:
Viel Erfolg und Glück 😀

I love reading manga, and I think that 99% of the time, it beats Western comics. Also, I like who the themes and stories in manga can differ so widely, I like reading anything and everything between cute romantic shoujo to the bloodiest and most gruesome of seinen

Anything else you would like to say?
yawn.
B/c it represents,shows different ideas,dreams maybe and it shows me a life maybe thats full of fantasy,horror and other genres, that its impossible to see in the real life.
Im a dream girl,i luv to dream and write stories and such---so to me mangas/animes signifies a life thats not so boring,thats exciting and interesting,something not ordinary,that yu know that you won't see in the real life,and maybe you can reflect a life that you wish to have that you can't have but you can see/or read in a manga or anime.
For me is maybe reflected in not just mangas/and animes.But also reading books,my imagination,and my mind=D
oooo what a good answer-im good-=P~But i mean everything i say,i hope yu can understand this.=D
