More epic tales please and more on-going storys for more experience!
Series for life. Thumbs up 🤣
i dont mind oneshots, they are often well-thought, with a good background and thought-out plot, but alas, they're too "squeezed": i can't even begin to seriously appreciate one character or the story that all is suddenly finished 🙁
So in the end, i prefer Series: if the mangaka is good, they will be as filler-less as possible and with a good plot/well defined characters. Still i dont like much neverending series, though ive come to understand that i wish for a series i like to be of at least 10 volumes: 2 series which i really like are finishing in 6 volumes and i've found myself saying "woa, already?"

I'll still read oneshots, but I prefer series. But series have their pros and cons too just like oneshots.
If it weren't for the gutter, my mind would be homeless.

Wow, so many people replied...anyways, yes...oneshots are good, but I sometimes just hate an author that writes a plot that can be expanded upon (like 13) or a terrible plot (hmmm, this is probably what makes me like series more) 😀
I sometimes don't like to keep track of so many people though... 😕

I'd say that series are typically the best, but oneshots are a nice dose of cuteness that would get a little sickening if made into a series. Also.. I kinda clicked the wrong option and voted for oneshot. sweat drop

Imagine H oneshots or smut oneshots or any of those particular...
...What do you think will happen in one chapter? O_O
Therefore, series. But i prefer completed series please, just to ensure the damn thing will actually have an ending >_>

I like oneshots, but I prefer series. I enjoy oneshots when it's totally obvious what's gonna happen because then you don't have it dragging out for volumes and volumes cough-Inuyasha-cough. Sadly most of the series that I really, really like are pretty long...like 10+ volumes 😀

I'd rather have a series than a oneshot. Some oneshots leave you wanting more, and most of the time they don't get picked up to become full-fledged manga.

That's exactly how I feel, although I occasionally read oneshots despite this.
Series for sure.
I don't read many oneshots, but like loose said, some leave you wanting more.
However, there are those series that drag on and on...and on...and on...and on... 🤣

Series! one shots are tooooooo short to develop a good quick story, but I do prefer one shots than LONNNG BORING STORIES especialy seinen (yep where thinking in the same manga tittle)

i like short stories, i read short stories but i prefer novels. in terms of manga i like to read long series with a lot of things to tell.
however some stories just does not work as series even if it's a short one.
